Philip is originally from Royston and has returned to the St Ives area to work after training at the British School of Osteopathy. He is registered with the General Osteopathic Council of Great Britain and is also a member of the British Osteopathic Association.

Philip has competed at national level at judo and is a keen rower and this generated his interest in muscular-skeletal issues, which in turn motivated him to train as an osteopath.
