Prior to gaining her degree in Osteopathy, Jan enjoyed a varied nursing career working in surgical and medical wards in Cardiothoracic, ENT and Hospice settings.

Jan worked in Occupational Health Units in Police Forces, Ambulance, Fire & Rescue Services and the NHS, as well as Financial and Legal sectors.

A significant part of Jan’s professional experience was dedicated to managing debilitating musculoskeletal (MSK) symptoms in fit, active, healthy individuals of working age to help support them remain in or return to work.

Jan is also aware of the increasing MSK conditions among the elderly due to the normal ageing processes affecting tissues and joints which osteopathic health care can help with.

Read Jan's article published in Osteopathy Today magazine.

Throughout my nursing career, I always considered there was a need to provide proactive health care to help support the functional capacity of individuals following injury, surgery and those with underlying medical conditions and accept this is difficult to deliver in the NHS, due to limited resources.

Helping others remain independent brings me a sense of fulfilment and a great deal of job satisfaction and if 2020 has taught me anything, it is that humanity and caring for one another is really all there is.

I look forward to welcoming you to my osteopathic practice.
