Osteopathy

After qualifying at the British College of Osteopathy & Naturopathy in London in 1989, Andrew stayed on and lectured on osteopathic technique. He entered full-time practice at the Haslemere Clinic in 1990 and completed post graduate studies in lower leg biomechanics and podiatry thereafter. Andrew became a partner in 1996 and in 2006 became the sole owner.

One of our most experienced osteopaths, he has a particular interest in sports injuries, focussing on the hip and knee, and in gait assessment – he has been prescribing prescription orthotics for 15 years, working closely with Langer Biomechanics during this period as manufacturers of orthotic devices. See our Orthotics page for more information. He’s a keen sportsman himself, playing tennis, village cricket and golf on a regular basis.

Martin has been working in healthcare since leaving school. He studied for a combined nursing degree with psychology and then worked in cardiac and general intensive care units over 10 years. He also found time to study for an occupational nursing certificate and has worked in industry as an occupational health nurse advisor, wherefrom he derived an interest in health and safety issues, particularly working to prevent the musculi-skeletal injuries that result from occupational activity. He then retrained as an osteopath, qualifying with an honours degree in osteopathic medicine and a Naturopathic diploma.

Martin has a hands on approach to health care. He describes himself as a holistic practitioner who looks after the physical and psychological aspects of a patient’s health. He very much views one of the osteopath’s roles as inspiring individuals to look after themselves in a therapeutic relationship between the osteopath and the patient. He has completed the Paediatric Diploma in Osteopathy at the Osteopathic Centre for Children. He now offers specialist paediatric care with structural and cranial approaches.

Martin is married with two children and actively supports them in their 101 activities including stints at the ice rink and refereeing his son’s football team. He keeps fit by playing tennis and running. In 2008 he ran the London marathon and raised £1,600 for muscular dystrophy research. He is also a keen long distance walker and is keen on rugby and football, supporting London Irish and Tottenham Hotspur. He tries to be nice to Arsenal fans when they venture into the practice . . . !

Danni studied a master’s in Osteopathy at the International College of Osteopathic Medicine and graduated with distinction in 2020. Danni has over 1000 hours of clinical practice and has a keen interest in the ‘why and how’ a patient is feeling as they do and will focus on getting to the root cause of a patient’s complaint. With a background in the Classical teachings Danni’s aim is to support the body in its own healing response.  

Before becoming an Osteopath, Danni gained a BSc. in Food Science and Business at the University of Reading and went on to work in the food and nutrition industry for 16 years. Danni quickly realised she wanted to be an Osteopath after sustaining an injury and seeking osteopathic treatment but the opportunity to retrain only presented itself following the birth of her twins. 

Danni has also studied at the London School of Sports and Remedial Massage Therapy and has consequently worked in the sport rehabilitation arena for the last 7 years.

Danni’s specific areas of interests are osteoarthritis, elbow and shoulder injuries and adolescent musculoskeletal pain. Going forward Danni plans to continue her studies in Paediatric Cranial Osteopathy. 

Danni enjoys running, pilates and playing with her 3 children.

Holly graduated from University College of Osteopathy in 2023 with Distinction. During her training, she completed her Level 3 diploma in Sports Massage.  

Prior to, and during studying, Holly worked in the marketing industry. It was the long desk-based hours that led Holly to retrain as an Osteopath after having personal experience of the common aches and pains associated with desk-based jobs. She understands first-hand how hard it can be to prioritise health and good habits when working long hours in a demanding job and the impact that stress can have on the body. As a result, Holly believes in working in partnership with her patients to ensure a realistic and achievable management plan is created.  

Holly tends to take a structural approach to treatment, combining a wide variety of hands-on techniques with the aim of treating the root cause of the issue(s).  

In her spare time Holly loves all things food and is regularly found experimenting with a new recipe or trying out a new restaurant. She also has a love for the countryside and long-distance walking.
