Profile: Oliver Gordon

I have been practicing Internal Martial Arts (Kudakwashe Self Defense of mind & Body and Tai Chi) for the past 18 years and teaching as a 6^th Degree Master since 2004, following several invitations and training by the Grandmaster himself (Kudakwashe Self Defense of mind & Body)  in Indonesia. Over this time I wanted to understand the human body with even more depth and understanding, which then led me to the European School of Osteopathy and then the College of Osteopaths, where I graduated with a BSc. Hons. Degree in 2006.  Since then I have been a registered member of the General Osteopathic Council in the UK. I have studied Shiatsu and Cranial Osteopathy, working in children’s clinics since 2004 helping people of all ages from 1 day old to 96 years old with a wide variety of ailments using a wide variety of techniques. My understanding of the body not only plays a role in my daily life, but also offers me many tools in my approach to treating patients on a very practical level. I am interested in a classical, structural and cranial approach to osteopathy.  I feel I have an understanding of how to treat the patient holistically, taking into account influencing factors such as biomechanics, lifestyle, dietary and habitual factors before deciding on the treatment regime. I consider that i am able to provide the patients with a “total care experience”, as well as having a good understanding and approach towards my patients. I aim to set and follow high standards and offer a warm welcome to new and existing patients.  All patients are considered individually, and treatments are tailored to each person’s needs and tolerances.
