Philip is the most recent member of the team and brings a vast experience from his previous background in sports massage therapy, where he spent some of his time working on the London Marathon and the Tour de France, as well as working with several celebrities.

He received his Osteopathic qualification at Surrey Institute of Osteopathic Medicine where he learnt both structural and classical osteopathy; this gives him a huge variety of skills which allows him to treat each person to their own individual needs.

Because Philip used to be a personal trainer, he also provides his patients with exercises and advice which will help prevent their problems reoccurring and he is always on the end of a phone if his patients need some urgent advice.

He has a previous history of competitive tennis and football, and also has a keen interest in the treatment of herniated and prolapsed discs.
