Meet Barry – Osteopath at The Moving Body
Hi there,
My name is Barry, I help people in Clapham and the surrounding areas move more freely, reduce pain, and feel more comfortable in their bodies — whether you’re dealing with back pain, a sports injury, or ongoing stiffness that just won’t go away.
My aim isn’t just to treat symptoms, but to understand why your pain has developed and help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.
My approach to treatment
I take an individual, hands-on approach to treatment, focusing on how your body moves and what may be contributing to your pain.
Treatment is tailored to you and may include osteopathic techniques to improve joint movement, reduce muscle tension, and calm sensitive areas — alongside simple, practical advice to help you stay well between sessions.
Many patients come to see me not only for pain relief, but because they want to feel more relaxed, more connected, and more confident in their body again.
Experience & background
My path into osteopathy began through a strong interest in movement, exercise, and helping people recover from injury.
I first trained in sports therapy in Ireland, before moving to London to complete a degree in Sports and Exercise Science. During this time, I worked as a personal trainer and sports therapist, gaining hands-on experience helping people with pain and injury.
While working alongside an osteopath, I saw the difference a more complete, hands-on approach could make — not just treating symptoms, but understanding how the whole body works together. This led me to complete a BSc (Hons) in Osteopathy at the London School of Osteopathy, graduating in 2010.
After qualifying, I spent three years working in a busy clinic in Singapore, treating a wide range of patients in a fast-paced environment. This experience helped shape my practical, patient-focused approach.
On returning to London, I founded The Moving Body, with the aim of helping people move well, feel better, and stay active long-term.
Qualifications
BSc (Hons) Osteopathy
BSc (Hons) Sports & Exercise Science
Diploma in Sports Therapy
Medical Acupuncture (Dry Needling)
A bit about me
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy training and staying active. I’m also a father, so I understand how busy life can be — and how important it is to keep your body working well so you can enjoy it.
If you’re in pain, or simply not moving as well as you’d like, I’d be happy to help.
Book online or get in touch if you have any questions.
