TEAM
Greg
Greg graduated with a Masters degree from the University College of Osteopathy. He enjoys and has a special interest in structural osteopathy stemming from his background in strength and conditioning. He is also a certified medical acupuncturist (dry needling) and uses this as a standalone treatment, or alongside osteopathy.
Greg was the proud owner of UNIT 22 Northampton, a strength and conditioning gym in Northampton, which he co-founded in 2011. He sold the business in December 2023 to focus on Osteopathy. From his experience of strength and conditioning and exercise rehabilitation, Greg uses osteopathic principles to treat patients as a whole and encourage return to activity as soon as possible. His motto is “movement is medicine”.
Greg initially graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2007, having studied Sport & Exercise Science, which started his career in sport and fitness. He coached rugby at Northampton Saints RFC, working in the community department and with the academy team, before qualifying as a personal trainer, CrossFit coach and British Weightlifting coach, which eventually led to the opportunity of setting up his own gym.
Greg is continually expanding his knowledge and scope of practice and is looking forwards to studying more in paediatrics and visceral osteopathy over the next few years.
When Greg isn’t working, you’ll find him enjoying time with his family, walking his two dogs, or in the gym doing some CrossFit or weightlifting.
