Alex aims to provide the highest quality osteopathic care to all his patients. He will work with his patients to relieve their pain and restore them to their usual pain free state. He is a friendly, outgoing, caring and compassionate practitioner.

Alex Graduated from the world renowned British School of Osteopathy, London in 1999 after completing a four year BSc(Hons) degree in Osteopathy. He sustained a serious neck injury playing rugby in 1991 and benefited greatly from osteopathic healthcare which led to him developing an interest in the profession. He practiced for his first year in Hamilton New Zealand and then has been working in three clinics in Devon, England since July 2000. He believes that it is vital to keep up to date with further education and to that end regularly attends courses for continued professional development, so that he can continue to offer the best care for his patients.

He has a special interest in treating headaches, whiplash and sporting injuries.

Alex uses osteopathy as a way of detecting and treating injuries in the muscles, ligaments, fascia, nerves and joints of the body. Having a highly developed sense of  touch known as palpation he will gently and specifically, evaluate and treat injuries. As an osteopathic practitioner Alex believes that the body has the ability to heal itself and the skilled application of osteopathic techniques (massage, mobilization and soft tissue) can improve this process.

Osteopathic treatment can be used to treat a variety of problems including :-

• Sports injuries
• Acute and chronic spinal pain
• Headaches
• Migraines
• TMJ disorders
• Asthma
• Disc injuries
• Osteoarthritis
• Joint pain
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Postural complaints
• Whiplash and accident trauma
