Our Practitioners

Philip was first introduced and possibly found his inspiration towards Osteopathy at the age of six after an incident involving a Hornby train set and a loft hatch! Fast forward to 2001 and he graduated from the 4-year degree course at the British School of Osteopathy in London.

After working in various practices around the Southeast and an enjoyable 5-month stint of worldwide travel, he found himself moving to Lincolnshire and opening his own practice in 2007. Five years later in 2012 it was moved to the larger current premises and ‘The Wellhead Practice’ was born. Over the years, other medical disciplines were introduced, and we now offer the four main disciplines of Osteopathy, Podiatry, Sports Massage and Ear wax removal seeing more than 130 patients per week.

Using a range of Osteopathic techniques and some medical acupuncture, Philip treats a wide range of problems from head to toe in patients of all ages enjoying the challenge of finding the root cause of a problem and to ‘fix’ the issue for the long term where at all possible.

Outside of work, Philip is kept busy with three teenage daughters, an endless list of DIY tasks and the occasional run.

Hector has worked as an Osteopath for four years. Since qualifying at the University College of Osteopathy in London, he has studied and developed his interest in a variety of different treatment options for muscular, joint and nerve pains. This has included Dry Needling/Medical Acupuncture, Spinal Manipulation, Muscle Energy Technique and Strain Counter-strain Technique.

His most recent interest is within pain science which is aimed at managing patients who have had symptoms lasting over six months.

Outside of work, Hector is a family man, a lover of dogs, meditation, a good stretch and a cold plunge to top it off.
