I benefited from osteopathy early on in my life and was impressed by the philosophy of working with the body physically to reach its full health potential and so I enrolled to study osteopathy. I completed the 4 year course at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, receiving my Bsc(hons) Osteopathic Medicine in 2008. After an 18 month spell working in New Zealand I began to develop a much deeper interest in the treatment of children and women during pregnancy, so I returned to England to study at the Osteopathic Centre for Children gaining a Diploma with distinction in paediatric osteopathy. I went on to volunteer within the clinic and now am a clinical teacher and lecturer which allows me to continue working along side some of the best paediatric osteopaths in the country.

Since graduating I have also completed a further 600 hours of continued professional development designed to further my skills of palpation and treatment including using ‘cranial’ techniques and a  foundation level in treatment using the Classical approach, for which I am now working towards the 3 year diploma. As well as specialising in paediatric and obstetric osteopathy I see a wide range of patients who are keen to use osteopathy, not only to alleviate musculoskeletal pain, but also to improve their overall health and wellbeing.

 Grant is passionate about supporting his patients in reaching their health goals and enjoys working with a diversity of patients in all age groups including babies. As an osteopath he mainly treats patients for aches. pains and injuries, which can be caused by a variety of reasons such as work, life, sports or pregnancy. 

Within his osteopathic treatments, he combines a variety of approaches which are carefully tailored to support a patients unique needs. In addition to gentle hands-on osteopathic treatment, Grant believes in supporting and empowering patients through education. To this end, during sessions, he also offers advice and support on ergonomics, lifestyle, exercise and movement that patients can do in their own time so that they can also lead on their wellness journey. Grant's path to osteopathy arrived later in life. He studied Sports Administration/Science and played competitive level of rugby and cricket whilst at university. He travelled widely and lived in several countries, working in various roles in the commercial and not-for-profit sector. All of this provided him with a unique perspective on how stress impacts the mind and body and how the mind and body can sometimes work together for the better - but also, every so often, how they dont and how this can show up in our bodies in different ways.

Grant studied at the University College of Ostepathy (formally the British school of Osteopathy), receiveing an intergrated Masters degree in Osteopathy. He continues to undertake further professional development regularly. Grant has completed training in cranial osteopathy at the Sutherland Cranial College in Osteopathy (SCCO) as well as training in visceral osteopathy at Barral UK and is currently undertaking a paediatric course at the Osteopathic Centre for Children (OCC) treating babies, children and pregnant/post-natal women. 

Grant is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (10299) and a member of the Institute of Osteopathy.

 As a mother of two children I experienced the benefits of Osteopathy first hand both during my pregnancies and in the development of my children. I have worked in many different customer service roles so I’m excited to bring those skills to the Somacare team.
