Nick 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 has also recently received his Postgraduate certificate in Animal Osteopathy and has been enjoying treating horses and dogs since. 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.

Kelly joined the practice in 2010 when she moved to the area from London where she had previously been working as an orchestral musician.
As well as treating general musculoskeletal aches and pains she has specialist interest in the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries. She looks at the biomechanics of sports performance to better understand how injuries occur in order to help repair and rehabilitate them. She is a keen triathlete and Crossfit athlete so has particular understanding of cycling, running, swimming, body conditioning and weight lifting.
She uses a combination of osteopathy, ultrasound therapy, acupuncture and sports taping to provide the best treatment for her patients who range in age from the very young to retirees.
Kelly also enjoys treating babies using the gentle cranial osteopathic techniques and has spent considerable time studying with the Sutherland Cranial College.
