Experienced osteopath Martin Irving also works at the practice.The osteopaths work in slightly different ways but both use very effective techniques to achieve the same result ie the relief of symptoms.
The practice is quite unique in that we specialise in using a combination of conventional osteopathy and deep tissue massage. Graeme pioneered this approach in the mid 1980s as he found he got extremely effective results using this combination.

On the 2nd of September 2025 I had the pleasure of visiting Potarch in Northern Scotland and along with other lifters from Australia, Chile, The US, Ireland, Scotland and England attempt to lift the world famous Dinnie Stones which have been used as a test of strength for about 200 years.
The stones which weigh 332.5 kilos/52.36 stones, look pretty formidable up close! Thankfully I managed to lift them and become the oldest man at 64 and a half years ever to have lifted them. It was a wonderful afternoon spent with lovely people.
Thanks go to my family, friends and many osteopathic patients who wished me luck. Special thanks go to Teresa who has been my biggest and prettiest supporter as always in everything I do. Also to coach Glenn Branch who with great patience has honed my technique of lifting the stones (still room for improvement for me).
