About Me : BSc Ost Med D.O. (1st class Hons), MOCI, S&C

I hold a BSc. (Hons 1st Class) in Osteopathic Medicine, I am registered osteopath and run Stephen’s Wood Osteopathic & Wellness Clinic in Cork. I have five years’ experience teaching
structural osteopathy, anatomy and pathophysiology at degree level.

I also hold qualifications in Orthopaedic Dry Needling, Craniosacral Therapy, Strength & Conditioning, and Sports Taping and Strapping. I typically travel to the UK about three times every year to train with various manipulative practitioners in order to enhance my own skills.

I have an extensive background in sports including athletics, boxing, triathlon and bodybuilding. Previous to becoming an osteopath, I served as an officer in the Irish Defence Forces, where I held a wide variety of appointments at home and overseas, including service in the Special Forces Unit of the Irish Defence Forces, The Army Ranger Wing.

All of these things, combined with a love for teaching others, give me a unique insight in the way I treat and teach.
