rod gillingham - Osteopath
Osteopathy M.Ost
Rod Gillingham loves his profession. He is a lecturer in osteopathy who runs and owns two very successful clinics in Manchester and Leeds. For family reasons he now lives in Cheltenham, which is great news for us!
Rod came to see us as a patient in December and was so impressed with his treatment he asked if we needed an osteopath. Welcome Rod!
Rod qualified from the Surrey Institute of Osteopathic Medicine and completed further training in western acupuncture. He has recently attended further training courses in the treatment of post-natal mums and in the management of chronic pain. Rod previously worked as a professional sports therapist and personal trainer; as such he has a keen interest in sports injuries. He has successfully treated a wide variety of patients from international rugby stars to professional dancers, and teenagers with postural issues to senior citizens.
He suggests the most effective way of achieving the best possible results for patients is through a combined approach to patient management, which includes addressing factors relating to posture, exercise, diet and lifestyle in addition to his manual osteopathic treatment.
Rod is also involved in delivering the osteopathy MSc programme at Leeds Metropolitan University. When not working he is a keen (but very average) golfer and he also regularly plays badminton and football.
You can choose one of three initial sessions, a 50 minute detailed New Patient Assessment and treatment, a 30 minute consultation and assessment, or a free 15 minutes consultation if you are feeling unsure about whether you need a session or if you’re going for the right type of treatment.
Rod works on Tuesdays and Fridays and so far we’ve had some great responses from our patients who appreciate Rod’s detail and clarity in his assessment and advice, and just how much better they feel after a treatment.
