Nigel has worked in the community physical activity and public health sector for over 40 years. He is currently head of sport and physical activity for Camden Council. His remit includes services for people with long-term medical conditions, including osteopathy.
Also a qualified osteopath, Nigel is therefore uniquely positioned to develop the reach and appeal of osteopathy to a wider audience, which he has made his strategic mission.
Nigel is a passionate and committed osteopath. He often says how much he loves it and helping people to rid themselves of pain and movement restriction and improve quality of life.
“Osteopathy works…it can reduce people’s pain, restore function and re-build physical confidence. As well diagnosis and a range of effective treatments, I strive to provide my customers with the tools they need to help themselves and stay symptom free, long-term”.
Nigel was once a professional footballer and nationally ranked tennis player. Today he is a keen road cyclist and every year enjoys long trips in Europe and beyond (e.g. London to Barcelona). He therefore understands what it feels like to be an injured performance athlete and the need for sports specific and bespoke rehabilitation.
Nigel had a chronic low back problem for many years. A common problem, Nigel turned to osteopathy and became an osteopath; so impressed was he by the positive impact it made on his condition, which is now under control.
