Jon graduated back in 1996, also marrying at the same time! Having always had an interest in how the body functions, he did very briefly consider going into medicine but a chance suggestion by a Homeopath led to him visiting an Osteopath; He was fascinated and within a few weeks had signed up to the course for Osteopathic training.

Jon worked at 70d Park Lane, Chippenham and also in Bath when he first graduated as an osteopath. After 4 years and 2 children, the family decided to go back to their home county of Sussex where they remained for 19 years. They always wanted to return to Wiltshire at some point and, in 2019, Jon closed his practice in Brighton and took over an osteopathic practice in Bradford on Avon which he and his wife, Sara, have run ever since.

They are now excited to re open an osteopathic practice at 70D, Park Lane, Chippenham.

Jon embraces all aspects of osteopathic treatment which enables him to treat a very wide range of problems. His treatment is very much tailored to the individual patient which means that he uses many different techniques from soft tissue and mobilisition of joints to spinal manipulation ("clicks") and stretching. He specialises in the use of cranial technique alongside more structural methods. These are a series of gentle but extremely effective techniques that stimulate the body's ability to re align itself; it is very good for those with chronic, complicated problems and with a history of trauma. It also means that adults in acute pain can be treated more comfortably as well as babies and children. 

The use of cranial treatment for babies and children is a specialist field and we have many years experience in helping calm unsettled babies for various reasons, mainly linked to the stress and strains associated with the birth process.
