"I believe that the body is the greatest and most efficient machine ever created."

Being a mechanic in his past occupation and realizing that every machine built by man is based on the human body, has made osteopathy come easy to Adrian.

He uses a lot of the problem solving techniques learned as a mechanic to find the origin of a problem. "I use the example of when you take your car to the garage when it keeps wearing tyres out, there is no point keep changing the tyres, you correct the tracking."

Adrian has a strong interest in:

bio-mechanical systems of the body
breathing mechanics and exercises
how the subconscious/emotions work on the body
analysing posture
locating causal chains/patterns
He used to play Rugby League in his younger days, and represented Wigan, Lancashire and Great Britain. He had a short professional term at the great R.L. club Wigan.

Adrian also likes playing squash, boxing, kayaking and fishing and would like to learn to surf!

Adrian has also studied Eastern Medicine which includes Tai Chi and Yoga. He has qualifications in BodyTalk and Cranial Osteopathy. He is currently studying the science around the human energy field.
