Jeremy James

Osteopath B.Sc (Ost)

I’m a Solihull native, born here and attended Dorridge Junior and Tudor Grange Schools.

I trained for 4 years at BSO in London, it’s the oldest and largest school of Osteopathy in the UK and its reputation is worldwide.

After qualifying in 1993 I worked in various practices in the West Midlands and in New Zealand before starting my own practice. My approach is holistic and in addition to the many osteopathic techniques, I’m also happy to give advice on exercise, diet and lifestyle.

I also provide support to my associates and ensure that the practice continues to offer the high quality of care that it has become known for. 

I’m married to Donna, we have two teenage children and a dog called Monty. I am a keen cyclist and love walking and wild camping.

Stephanie Lees

Osteopath B.Ost (Hons)

I am from Birmingham, growing up in Sutton Coldfield. Since I was young, I knew I always wanted to go into a caring profession where I can help others. Therefore, I completed a 5-year part-time bachelor’s degree in Osteopathy at Staffordshire University.

I like to treat an array of conditions and people alike. I have a particular interest in treating pregnant women and sports people, especially golfers as I studied the biomechanics of a golf swing at university.

Alongside my degree, I completed an Advanced Dry Needling course and really enjoy applying this method of treatment as it can be really beneficial. In addition, I use a wide range of techniques including joint mobilisation and manipulation, soft tissue relief and strengthening exercises. I have also completed postgraduate training in cranial osteopathy.

I absolutely love animals and will enlighten you with many stories about my little pooch!

Joe Marshall

Osteopath M.Ost (Hons)

I was born in Warwickshire and have lived in Solihull since I was 7 years old. I attended Alderbrook School and Arden Sixth Form, before completing my Masters of Osteopathy degree at Swansea University.

I believe osteopathy is a great way to improve people’s health and wellbeing and I’m fascinated by the way osteopathy can help the body recover from pain or injury.

I treat a variety of different conditions, including the management of arthritis and treatment during pregnancy. My adaptable approach allows me to treat in a way that suits you best, whether that’s strong or more gentle.

I enjoy being a part of my patients’ recovery and seeing them achieve their goals however big or small along the way.

I’m a keen cyclist and enjoy playing and watching sport. In my spare time I’m often out walking and seeing friends.

Tessa Clout

Osteopath B.Sc (Hons) Ost

I am originally from East Sussex and have recently relocated to the Solihull Area. I completed my degree in 2001 at the London School of Osteopathy. I have also completed a postgraduate qualification as an Animal Osteopath.

I have always wanted to work in a healing and holistic profession. I enjoy treating people of all ages and conditions using a structural approach and encompassing a variety of manual techniques.  

Additionally, I have undertaken full training as a Perrin Practitioner, which is an osteopathic technique for the treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome  (CFS) and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME).  I have also completed postgraduate training in cranial osteopathy.

Aside from work, I enjoy being in the outdoors and travelling and I absolutely love horses!

Rachel Weech

Osteopath M.Ost (Hons)

I am originally from London but moved to Solihull 2 years ago.

This is my second career as I was a professional dancer who trained at the Royal Academy of Dancing & specialised in ballet, jazz, contemporary & tap.

I graduated from The British School of Osteopathy now called UCO with a Masters degree nearly a decade ago with a wide tool set consisting of cranial, functional, structural & visceral techniques. I have gone on to become certified in paediatrics, Still technique, sports massage, dry needling, K taping & breath work coaching.

I have a passion for tailoring my treatments to each patients needs. My youngest patient was 2 days old & my oldest 98, so I love working with all age groups & backgrounds.

Interesting fact I was named after a bodybuilder…. Which makes sense why I love to indulge in weight training & yoga.

Sam Mahmood

Physiotherapist

I’m Sam. I’m from Birmingham and I’m a musculoskeletal (MSK) and neuro physiotherapist. I’m also a sports physiotherapist and offer gym-based rehabilitation and sports massage.

I treat a wide range of conditions, from sports injuries to pre- and post-surgery recovery, stroke recovery, those with Parkinson’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I also support people who find everyday movements difficult, offering practical movement strategies that feels safe and manageable

Alongside my adult patients, I’m also a paediatric neuro physiotherapist and offer MAES Therapy, a hands-on approach for children with neurodevelopmental conditions including cerebral palsy.

Outside of work, I’m a passionate kickboxer with nine years’ experience and a junior coach. I also enjoy traditional henna art and staying active in the gym.

Phoebe Maund

Osteopath

I was born in Sutton Coldfield but spent most of my childhood in Balsall Common where I attended the local primary and secondary school. I then went on to Swansea University and completed my Masters in Osteopathy.

At university, I discovered my passion to treat people with a range of conditions and focused my dissertation on the management of post-concussion syndrome. In my final year, I supported a local Rugby team with soft tissue treatment.

It’s rewarding to see the progress patients make when treating them and how the whole body needs to considered and supported for effective health and recovery.

I participated in many different activities whilst growing up, such as rugby, karate, and scouting. I successfully achieved my 2nd degree black belt and celebrated my Gold DfE at Buckingham Palace. I was a Volunteer for Wasps Ruby for four years, working with SEND children and teenagers enjoy the opportunity to play Rugby.
