Combining the traditional with the ultra-modern
Nigel Parker, has been working and gaining experience as a manual therapist for some 20 years. Qualifying in remedial massage and reflexology, then progressing into more advanced manipulative techniques, and finally graduating from Oxford Brookes University where he gained his Honours Degree in Osteopathy. Training has taken him all over the country, as it continues to do so with his continuing professional development courses and seminars.
In 2001 Nigel began practicing in the current locations of Worcester Street Stourbridge, and West Bromwich. At this time he was working with a qualified Osteopath with some 30 years experience, who had performed no less than 150,000 osteopathic treatments! Since commencing practice in 1997, Nigel has himself carried out approximately 20,000 treatments to very satisfied patients. 70% of all new patients are referred by word of mouth from existing patients.
5-years training at Oxford Brookes University
The School of Osteopathy, part of the Science and Healthcare School, incorporates probably the most forward thinking of all the
osteopathic schools in the UK. Its international teaching staff
combine the very latest research studies and experience. Its 5-year
Osteopathic degree programme therefore brings together a huge wealth
of experience from its tutors & teachers, all of which are healthcare
professionals - GP's, Osteopaths, Consultants etc.
Specialisation
The final year of Nigel's Degree Dissertation was spent developing a
groundbreaking technique which 'un-locks' long-standing patterns of
tension. Nigel uses this release technique to help with all manner
of complaints from headaches to arthritic hips.
