Described by the Evening Standard Newspaper as the “Uber-Osteopath” and referred to in Vogue as the “Muscle Man”, Kevin, founder and owner of the Harcourt Clinic, is a well recognised London Osteopath originally from New Zealand. He comes from a sporting background, having played rugby and competed in national surf lifesaving and flat-water kayak racing in New Zealand. He is also a keen cyclist.
Kevin graduated from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) in 1991 and then completed a 3 year course in traditional Chinese acupuncture. For many years he combined his private practice with lecturing on osteopathic technique at BCOM. Kevin is also a qualified Pilates teacher.
The combination of Kevin’s skills enables him to treat a wide range of sports and dance injuries and conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, arthritic pain, sciatica, neuralgia, muscle spasms, digestive problems and headaches. He also has a lot of experience supporting women pre- and post-natally.
Kevin has a loyal following in the dance, theatre, film, television, radio, sports, legal and business worlds. His clients include members of the Royal Ballet, Bolshoi and Kirov dance companies and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Ros has practised Pilates for over 25 years and is manager of the Pilates studio. She is certified both by Body Control Pilates and Alan Herdman Pilates. Her qualifications cover studio equipment and matwork and she has specialist teaching qualifications in injury rehabilitation, bone health (osteoporosis) and pre- and post-natal Pilates.
Ros teaches people of all ages, abilities and levels of experience. She has a particular interest in injury rehabilitation and a great deal of experience working with clients with complex back issues (including spinal rods, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, disc injuries and osteoporosis), hip, knee and shoulder injuries and hip and knee replacements. However, she also enjoys working with clients who simply want to get more toned, flexible and stronger, or who are looking to advance their Pilates practice.
Before becoming a Pilates teacher, Ros was a City lawyer and held senior strategic and management roles in the Practical Law Company and Thomson Reuters UK & Ireland Legal Solutions.
