Osteopaths
George Dimitriadis MOst, BSc (Hons), Principal Osteopath
George Dimitriadis graduated with a Masters degree from the British School of Osteopathy. Prior to this he graduated with an honours degree in exercise and sports science at the University of Exeter. Before becoming an osteopath George has worked in the fitness industry and as a sports massage therapist for a number of years. George was a keen rugby player with a career peak of playing at international level for Greece before hanging up the boots after a foot injury. He regularly exercises in the gym and has experienced at first hand the irritation of limited activity or injury caused by sport.
George holds an ITEC level 3 sports massage qualification, certificate 4 in personal training, sports taping with RocTape as well as a diploma in Modern Western Medical Acupuncture and is qualified in Display Screen Equipment setup. George also travels along side a number of racing drivers particularly in World Endurance Championship Lemans Series, F2, F3 and other championships looking after their race fitness, hydration, nutrition and treatment.
The combination of his sporting and fitness background with his osteopathic skills gives him a broad understanding of the body’s movements and functions allowing him to incorporate a holistic view into his treatments.
"Osteopathy is more than just rubbing the bit that hurts, its holistic. The body is a single unit. We ask why does it hurt, what compensations have failed and how can we make corrections to allow the body to function efficiently."

Amy Phillips MOst, BSc (Hons), Principal Osteopath
Amy graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in London with a Masters degree. She has a wealth of experience having first studied for a Sports and Exercise Science degree at Exeter University as well as having worked as Sports Massage practitioner for a number of years.
Amy is a keen lacrosse player and regularly runs and exercises at the gym. She ran in the 2013 London Marathon for the first time and has experienced many injuries while exercising and knows the aggravation of not being able to be active or play the sport you love. In fact, successful treatment from an empathetic, local osteopath sowed the seeds in her mind of a possible career path and subsequently her osteopathic style.
She is exceptional at spotting patterns in injuries that are preventing them from healing properly and can get patients back to performing at their best or simply experiencing the quality of active life they desire. Amy takes great pride and care in communicating effectively with patients and providing them with knowledge about their injuries and pain so they can feel confident in their treatment and rehabilitation plans.
“One of the most rewarding aspects of being an Osteopath is spending the time to fully explore the individual needs of each patient so as to develop unique tailor-made treatment strategies, be it for a sports professional, an expectant mother or a nonagenarian.”
