Tutors

Liam is our principal tutor.  He has a background in competitive bodybuilding and has been involved in strength and conditioning for over a decade.  Since qualifying as a soft tissue therapist he has gone on to work with Championship football team Bristol City FC and is currently working with Oxford University Rugby Club and TASS, the scholarship scheme for Team GB athletes at Oxford Brookes University.

Liam runs a busy private practice in Kidlington and has continued his studies to include qualifications in strength and conditioning, and nutrition – principles which he implements in his practice – and an Award in Education & Training.  “I will always be a student of the human body. The subject fascinates me and it is this interest that fuels my passion for the subject and drives me to learn and share as much as I can about it.”

Emily is one of our senior tutors, and originally trained with OSSM.  Since graduating she has developed her sports therapy skills and knowledge by attending many advanced workshops and mentorships.  She takes pride in her professionalism and the level of care given to her patients.  She frequently works with both amateur and semi-professional sportsmen and women.  Her degree in Sports Science, specialising in Exercise Physiology and Coaching in Sport, has led her to seek out a career in improving the performance of the human body through musculoskeletal manipulation, and soft tissue therapy.

Emily runs a busy massage and sports injuries clinic from Priority 6, her Crossfit Box and gym (www.priority6.co.uk).  She also coaches some crossfit and remedial exercise classes.  She is a keen athlete in her own right having completed several marathons, is an avid horse rider, and now focuses on Crossfit-orientated competitions.

Dean is one of our senior tutors.  He has spent nearly a decade developing his knowledge as an Osteopath, supported by 18 years as a soft tissue therapist.  His passion for helping people is evident as he has managed to share this with a career as a full-time fire fighter in Oxfordshire.

In the past Dean has enjoyed global travel working with Williams Formula 1 Racing as the lead in their human performance team, supporting both the factory staff and the race team itself.  Participation in various sports has helped him identify with the frustration of incurring injuries, and he knows from personal experience the pivotal role manual therapy plays in their treatment.

Dean currently runs a busy private practice in Kidlington.  He believes education of your symptoms is the key to maximising the effects of treatment and optimising performance.  He continues to develop as a therapist and states “the study of the human body is a constant journey of discovery”.
