Clinic Director Gavin Routledge specialises in back pain. Gavin graduated in 1991 as a Gold Medallist, and is now a Vice Patron of the British School of Osteopathy. Co-author of “The Back Book” with Gavin Hastings OBE in 1996, he is a much sought-after public speaker on the topics of pain, health and physical activity. He is so fascinated by pain that he’s studying for an MSc in The Clinical Management of Pain at The University of Edinburgh. Gavin is passionate about helping to move people as far from illness and pain as possible, and practises what he preaches, cycling, running, swimming, body-weight and free-weight training, practising yoga and meditation (with the very rare game of extremely average golf).
