Patrick's Approach

He is passionate about helping patients understand why they are experiencing pain and providing them with the knowledge and confidence to manage their condition outside the treatment room.
Outside the Clinic
Interests
Outside the clinic, Patrick is a semi-professional rugby player who enjoys keeping active through regular gym training and yoga. He's also a proud dog dad and enjoys spending his spare time in the garden, where he's a keen amateur gardener.
Favourite Thing About Being an Osteopath
Patrick's favourite part of being an osteopath is helping people realise they don't have to simply accept living with pain. He is passionate about educating patients that, in many cases, pain can be overcome without relying on medication or surgery. He also enjoys meeting people from all walks of life and the varied, often unexpected conversations that make every day in the clinic different.
‘’I don’t like hurting people, I like making people feel better… it just hurts a bit 🤷♀️’’
