*Coming soon (early October-ish)*

I am Richard, a London-trained Osteopath with over two decades of clinical practice. I have worked with a diverse group of patients, from athletes and those with complex, chronic health conditions.

My approach is committed to identifying and addressing the root cause of each patient’s issue, not just managing symptoms. It will often involve lifestyle advice and tailored exercises to support long-term recovery. I place a strong emphasis on patient education, ensuring each person understands what’s happening in their body and how to move forward with practical, sustainable strategies.

I combine a variety of treatment techniques, including soft tissue release, joint manipulation, and more subtle or indirect approaches. Each treatment is guided by careful clinical reasoning and collaboration with the patient to achieve meaningful results.

Outside of practice, I enjoy cycling, exploring mountains and forests, cooking, and spending time with friends. Having competed in cycling and running events for many years, I now enjoy exercise more for enjoyment and well-being rather than competition.
