He has been teaching Cranial and Paediatric Osteopathy worldwide for twenty five years – in the UK, Ireland, Russia, Germany, Italy, France and Sweden. Ian was a member of the original academic committee of London’s Osteopathic Centre for children, which set up Europe’s first Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy over 20 years ago.

In 2010, Ian set up the Postgraduate Diploma in Paediatrics in Ireland – a 3-year course which teaches osteopaths the complex skills required for treating children. He currently teaches on this course. The third cohort will qualify next year.

Ian is currently a teaching Fellow of the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy. He is registered with the Osteopathic Council of Ireland and the General Council of Registered Osteopaths.

Sometimes Ian’s treatments can be quick, but as the founder of Osteopathy, Andrew Taylor Still said, the real skill is to find it, fix it, and leave it alone.
