I’m an osteopath based in Solihull, and a former professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter. For those who follow these things, I was the first British man to compete in the UFC. These days I still train and coach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but I spend more time putting people back together than taking them apart. When I’m not doing that, I’m often to be found climbing or lifting heavy things.
