Martin Lester BSc. (Hons.) Osteopathy

I have been a practicing osteopath since 2007. When I started my practice I created a calming and peaceful space for patients to come to. Studying osteopathy at the College of Osteopaths for five years and practicing for a further four years since has given me a wide range of experience to draw on. I treat many injuries and conditions, and patients and even members of the medical profession are often surprised at my success.

In 2007, I did a post-graduate Diploma in Healthcare Acupuncture at the Asante Academy of Chinese Medicine which has helped me develop needling, cupping and moxibustion skills when treating acute and chronic pain, useful when the pain is so intense that the patient won’t let me use osteopathic techniques, and also in the elderly.

In 2008 I trained at the Scottish School of Colon Hydrotherapy which added another dimension to the treatment of patients with bowel irregularities. Together with visceral osteopathy, the results have been most effective.

I teach osteopathic technique at both the College of Osteopaths and the London School of Osteopathy. I am also secretary of the Welwyn Hatfield Therapists Group which meets once a month to discuss different therapies and to listen to others' presentations.

Practicing and teaching osteopathic technique, I came across some patients suffering musculoskeletal problems as a result of long term asthma. Treating the symptoms of hypertonic respiratory muscles was only a short tem fix as the underlying breathing problem remained. That is when I looked into the Buteyko Breathing Technique. In 2011 I became a Teaching Member of the Buteyko Breathing Association.
