Dr Jonathan Evans Osteopath
In my early 30's I was working as an IT project manager in the City of London for big US Merchant banks and I knew I really wanted to change career and do something that involved helping people rather than just bossing them around! As I've always liked working with my hands, I started exploring what I could do 'hands on' within the health field.
Initially I was going to be a GP but then that I realised that GP's spend more time with their hands on their computer keyboard than on their patients. And that's no disrespect to GP"s what they do is immensely valuable, it just wasn't what I wanted to do.
I wanted to work hands on with each patient for an extended period of time and be able to explore the healing power that is contained within our hands. So I ditched the GP idea and explored physio, chiro and osteopathy.
It was Cranial Ostopathy and the work that Osteopaths did with babies that made me choose to be an osteopath. (Osteopathy has a long long history of helping babies - way back since the 1880's).
So great, that was all decided I would become a Cranial Osteopath.
I was pretty gutted when I found I wasn't allowed to do that and that first I had to spend 4 years training to be a boring vanilla Osteopath!
But often we are guided down the right path, even when our mind doesnt understand that path, and that was the case here as those 4 years training as an Osteopath were so valuable.
Not just for all of the training those 4 years provided but because I discovered that I loved treating a whole variety of people and problems.
So now I have the perfect job, as i get to help a huge variety of patients.
An adult in one session, next up a baby, then maybe a child or a teen or a sportsman or someone suffering with chronic health problems.
The variety of the work provides endless challenges, but challenges in a really good way as every patient is different and that requires me to find the approach and the treatment which will work best for each single person, so even if I see 10 people in a row with the same problem, it's never ever boring as although their pain maybe in the same place, each person and each problem is unique.
