2 Minutes with Adam

Why did you become an Osteopath?

I was at a crossroads in my career as a Radiographer of 14 years, knowing I wanted to continue helping people, but I wanted to do something different. It took some time before I discovered Osteopathy. I saw its potential to be dynamic and adaptable when offering care to patients, from hands on treatment, talking it through and more prescriptive exercise in rehab. It really did tick all the boxes and allows me to see the patient through their journey, and see improvement and recovery.

What makes your job worthwhile?

Being able to apply the above, being creative with my care and seeing patients improve, especially when they have been troubled with the issue for a long time.

What is unique about how you work?

There is no one set way I work with patients; they really do guide me, and I like to collaborate with them to find effective and achievable goals.

Who has influenced you most in your career as an Osteopath?                

My parents and my gran who have always supported me in my career and the great Thursday clinic tutors at the London School of Osteopathy particularly, Andrew Terry for his continued support.

What’s the piece of advice you give to your patients most often?

Be kind to yourself and try out new things that may be beneficial to you and your health. This can be mental as well as physical.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not at work?

Catching up with friends and family. Weekends I will usually be walking in the countryside or at the coast in Sussex, where my family live, walking the Seven Sister cliffs or swimming in the sea with my partner. I’ve recently attempted to learn to play golf!
