Peters Square Osteopaths Wexford

Mark initially qualified as a general registered nurse in 1991. His strong interest in sport, having
competed at county and international level in rugby and karate respectively lead him to qualify as
a sports therapist.

Ireland.

After four years fulltime education at the British School of Osteopathy, Mark qualified with an
honours degree. He worked in London, Cornwall and Merrion Square (Dublin) and then opened
his own clinic in Wexford in 1999.

He taught osteopathy for two years at undergraduate level before qualifying after three further
years as an acupuncturist. This was consolidated by further training in China. He studied sports
osteopathy for one year in Leeds at Masters Level.

He has a special interest in body mechanics and rehabilitation of both athletes and people
presenting with non-athletic injuries. Mark believes passionately in promoting the body’s own
innate healing ability. Treatment is often challenging, compound and centrally mediated
(person centred), Mark uses the principle of similarity in order to best stimulate recovery of the
individual. Mark is very creative in his use of exercises and does not believe in a rigid, protocol
driven model that takes no account of the individual.
