Nick While started The White Practice in 2007.  Nick says "Osteopathy is often like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle and every case is different - but our patients tell us we are getting it right and when their pain is reduced our job is so rewarding".
​
Nick is also an Animal Osteopath and enjoys treating horses and dogs.  Having won the academic achievement prize for highest grade score, he has also been asked to help with teaching at The Osteopathic Centre for Animals.  If you would like to speak to him regarding your animal please do contact him.
