Why “Bodywright“?
This works on several levels:
There’s the obious aspect of helping to make the body “right”.
Historically, a shipwright was someone who worked with ships, a cartwright worked with carts and so on…. since I work with the human body, Bodywright seemed very appropriate.
Finally, there’s a play on words using my surname.
The Bodywright logo
The figure in the logo is intended to convey health, vitality and pain-free movement – things we all want to experience!
The tagline “osteopathy for life” refers to the suitability of osteopathy for all ages and its ability to help with much of what life throws at us.
A little bit about me
I originally trained as a scientist, obtaining a 1st class degree in chemistry from The University of Bath and subsequently a PhD in organic chemistry from The University of Southampton. After about 15 years of carrying out research into new drug treatments, a combination of circumstances and a desire to help patients in a more direct way led me towards a career change to osteopathy. Following another 4 years of study at the International College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM) in Surrey, during which I obtained a 1st class degree in osteopathy and a Distinction in sports massage, I now practice as an osteopath in the Surrey village of Brockham.
I have also returned to ICOM, where I teach research and professional practice, and undertake supervision of student research projects. I find teaching to be stimulating and very rewarding, while being an excellent way to broaden my perspectives and keep up to date with current thinking in the field of osteopathy.
