Professional background

I qualified in medicine from Charing Cross Hospital in 1979 and underwent surgical training. I subsequently qualified in osteopathic medicine in 1989 and have been involved in musculoskeletal medicine since then. I am a tutor at the London College of Osteopathic Medicine.

My practice is holistic and patient centred. My main physical method of treatment is by osteopathy or acupuncture although in certain circumstances I use injections for some musculoskeletal conditions.

I am particularly interested in mind body medicine and the treatment of stress related symptoms.?.

I am involved in exercise medicine and teach Tai Chi Shibashi to patients suffering from chronic MSK pain at the hospital.

I also work as an autogenic therapist.
