About Dave Inman

Dave graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 2001 where he was awarded the Academic Deans Prize in his final year.

He has continued his academic study since graduating and has completed a post graduate course in Classical Osteopathy. A keen sportsman, Dave enjoys a wide range of sports and in particular karate where he was awarded the grade of 7th Dan black belt and represented Great Britain at international level. He is currently the Sports Injury Specialist for the British Karate Federation. His other passion is football, having played for Andover and Farnham Town Football Clubs. He holds the Advanced Coaching License with the Football Association (F.A) and the F.A. Medical Diploma in Treatment and Management of Sports Injuries. He is also an F.A. Tutor for the delivery of F.A. Emergency Aid Course.'I have always maintained a keen interest in the workings of the human body and found that Osteopathy best reflected my own views on health and healing.''As a sportsman, I often received osteopathic treatment and found that I returned to competition much quicker and that my general health and performance improved overall. The osteopathic philosophy of treating the person and not the disease/complaint and of considering all aspects of a person's mind, body and environment enables me, as an osteopath, to enhance peoples' health and well-being. Whether a patient is 8 or 80 years old, this gives me an enormous amount of pleasure and job satisfaction.'
