Combining his passion for helping people with his interest in how the body works, Stephen decided to return to education at the height of the recession in early 2009. He also realised there was a huge need in Navan town for a therapist who could get to the root cause of people’s pain. In his clinic he treats many people with a wide range of ailments: from babies who suffer from reflux and colic to sports people, manual and office workers, pre and post pregnancy pains and age-related pains such as arthritis and osteoporosis. His youngest patient is two weeks old and his oldest is ninety-six years of age. Stephen says “Osteopathy is for everybody”.
Stephen has represented Ireland at international level in handball while in college and holds many medals for athletics, winning the 800 meters all-Ireland finals at underage. He also played GAA for both Kilmainhamwood and Nobber GFC and had a brief spell with Meath at minor level. Navan, Dunshaughlin, Kingscourt, Cormeen, Kells, and Bohermeen Athletic Club members all avail of Stephen’s services, as do the Nobber, Kilmainhamwood, Simonstown, Navan O’mahoneys, Wolfe Tones, Kingscourt, Duleek, Saint Vincent’s, Rathkenny and Dunderry football and hurling club members as well as members of the Walterstown and Dunsany ladies GAA clubs. He also provides services to members of the Carnaross Operation Transformation group, the ‘Active Retirement’ group, and ‘Irish Country Women’s Association Groups’ based in Curraha, Navan, Kells, Moynalty, Bective and Dunsany.

My name is John and I trained for five years at the world famous British School of Osteopathy where I was awarded a Master’s in Osteopathy.
I gained a wealth of experience treating sports people with muscle strains, office and construction workers with neck and back pain and the elderly with age related conditions.
I hold a diploma in sports massage from the London School of sports massage which I include in my treatments along with dry needling if necessary. I also like to include a special relaxation technique during my treatments which helps people destress and improve their mood.
Treating sports people comes naturally to me. Having come from a strong sporting background I represented Longford in GAA at county level from schoolboy up to the inter-county senior panel.
I also played Basketball at National league level. I like to relax by meditating and like to practice what I preach by keeping a good diet and maintain fitness levels through walking and swimming.
I am passionate about my profession and treat a range of issues including back pain, neck pain, shoulder hip and knee pain.
Helping patients return to what they enjoy doing is my goal and I thoroughly enjoy the process of guiding and advising each patient along their journey to recovery.
Osteopathy is the gold standard when it comes to relieving pain.
I look forward to seeing you at our clinic soon.
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over ten years’ experience counselling children, adolescents and adults. The people I work with typically experience distress as a result of past experiences or new challenges.
Using my training in CBT, Psychotherapy, Play Therapy and Trauma Sensitive Yoga we work together to create an individualised treatment plan for you. This plan aims to help you understand the impact past events and relationships have had on you and, supports you to develop meaningful and healthy ways of living in the present. My clinic is based in Navan, Co. Meath. I also work in schools across Meath and Dublin.
For some people attending in a clinic for sessions can be difficult, please contact me for alternative treatment options. Online and Skype sessions are also available.
