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.
