Born in 1962, Nigel initially trained as a ‘complementary health practitioner’ achieving his diploma in 1990, he subsequently specialized in sports massage and other remedial therapies working alongside osteopaths in their practices. This exposure to ‘hands on osteopathy’, seeing its scope and effectiveness in the treatment of a wide variety of musculoskeletal and other conditions inspired him to train as an osteopath.
