John is a UK trained Osteopath with nearly 25 years experience. He is passionate about what he does and treat all ages from newborn through to the elderly.
"I studied at the British School of Osteopathy in London and graduated in 2001. I then built up a successful clinic in the UK and also worked in a very busy NHS clinic with strong GP ties. I moved back to New Zealand in 2008 and took over and revamped a clinic in West Auckland and built up my own practice in Birkenhead.
Over our time in practice I have come to observe common patterns and problems that people seem to struggle with and I wanted to offer a clinic that could offer a total solution to todays modern lifestyle demands. I work using Osteopathy, stretch and ergonomic advice as well as advice on diet, lifestyle changes, ergonomics and exercise.
As a parent of 2 very busy boys I understand the problems parents face trying to balance busy lifestyles and the changing needs and demands of growing bodies! Developing good habits in our children is a strong passion and driving force for me and I love watching my younger patients grow and thrive.
