James is a registered Osteopath and member of the British Osteopathic Association (BOA), who qualified from the British School of Osteopathy. He uses a variety of different techniques, in a broadly
structural style of Osteopathy. He joins Summertown Clinic following several years working in Clitheroe, Lancashire.

Beyond general practice his special interests are Sports Injuries and ‘Classical Osteopathy’.

Classical Osteopathy first caught James’ attention whilst at university, when considering the scope of conditions Osteopaths used to treat. Currently he is studying the Institute of Classical Osteopathy in Maidstone.With a strong background in sports, including a P.E. and Sports Science joint honours degree from Loughborough University (where he was Athletic Union President 99-00) James’ favourite sport is Rugby Union and played for England Schools. While in Clitheroe he managed to combine his passions and was the team osteopath to Wharfedale RUFC and Clitheroe Football Club as well as being on the committee for the Osteopathic Sports Care Association (OSCA).

James moved to Oxford as an osteopath in 2006, and has since started as an Osteopathic Clinic Tutor on the osteopathy course at Oxford Brookes. More recently he has been involved in examining the student osteopaths at Oxford.

James has travelled widely and spent a year in New Zealand before going to Loughborough. He also speaks conversational French.
