From pain and restriction to full function, that is the goal

Anthony is a UK-trained Osteopath specializing in spine health and musculoskeletal pain. He holds a Master’s degree in Osteopathy from the University of Greenwich and a BSc (Hons) in Biology from the University of Manchester. Since graduating in 2014, he has practised in both the UK and Dubai in well-established clinics, gaining extensive experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. His academic background in biology, combined with advanced osteopathic training, provides a strong foundation for understanding the body’s structure, function, and natural healing processes.

Anthony has worked with patients from diverse backgrounds and professions, including office workers, active professionals, and elite athletes. He has experience managing both acute and chronic conditions as well as supporting patients through post-operative recovery and rehabilitation. Known for his clear communication and ability to build strong rapport with patients, Anthony focuses on empowering individuals to understand their bodies and make informed decisions about their health.

His treatment approach is also influenced by further study and training from internationally respected experts, including Stuart McGill in spinal biomechanics and back pain, Joanne Elphinstone in movement rehabilitation, and Thomas W.

Visceral Osteopathy

Gentle treatment addressing the mobility of internal organs and their relationship to the musculoskeletal system, particularly used following surgery, illness or persistent unexplained pain.

Dry Needling

Fine needles target trigger points within muscle tissue to release tension, reduce referred pain and restore movement where manual therapy alone has not been sufficient.
