To train to become an osteopath in the UK takes four years and the title ‘osteopath’ is protected by law. It is against the law for anyone to call themselves an osteopath unless they are registered with the GOsC, which sets and promotes high standards of competency, conduct and safety. Melvyn is a fully registered and insured osteopath.

Prior to his osteopathic training, Melvyn studied at Kingston University, London, where he obtained a BA (Hons) Degree in Business Management.

Having worked as an osteopath since 2014 Melvyn has gained a huge amount of experience and understanding in how best to treat a wide variety of patients, from office workers to athletes and the elderly, his focus is on patient led treatments and he always ensures that the needs of his patients are put first. Melvyn also obtained a post graduate certificate in medical acupuncture/dry needling and he commonly uses this therapy alongside osteopathic techniques to help his patients get better.
