Having practiced as an Osteopath for over ten years i have learned much about the physical body, how it works and why it sometimes goes wrong.
My specialist Osteopathic area is in correction of asymmetries and rigities which are the underlying cause of most low back and neck pains, as well as major contributors to shoulder, knee and other physical problems. I have worked with many top sportsmen and women and served as Osteopath to the Welsh Rugby team for two years.
My principal area of interest is in evolutionary anatomy and the causes of modern day physical problems. When looked at in the context of 5 million years of adaptation it is obvious why our modern, desk-bound and usually sedentary lives lead to the problems they do. It is only through a full reversal of the stresses that have accumulated in the body that a full recovery and return to optimal health can be achieved.
As well as practicing as an Osteopath i am also a Naturopath, which means i’ve done the same academic training as a doctor but prefer to treat people with lifestyle intervention models rather than with drugs and surgery. When studying the evolution of disease it becomes obvious that most modern illnesses are created by the dramatic lifestyle changes that have occurred in the past few hundred years, changes that our bodies have yet to fully adapt to and thus cope with. As with physical problems, only reversal of these stresses leads to a proper regeneration of our normal functioning.
In 2005 i wrote a book called ‘Ten Evolutionary Step to a Successful Life’ and i am currently working on a new book entitled ‘Enlightened Living’.
As founder and principal of the Light Centre i am proud to have brought together over 50 talented teachers and practitioners to work together as a team and help local people to improve their lifestyles and thus improve their lives. The extra responsibilities that running the Centre carries means i can only see a limited number of new clients.
