Principal
Paul Morrissey
I founded The Osteopathic Clinic at Cheyne Walk in March 2003, with a goal of developing a centre of excellence for the treatment of Osteopathy, Pilates, Rehabilitation and Sports massage.
The vision was to create a 'Harley Street' experience in Croydon, Surrey and following our refit 2012 the feedback suggests we've achieved this.
I'm looking forward to helping you experience our expertise.

JAMIE ISHERWOOD
I qualified from the British School of Osteopathy (now the University College of Osteopathy) in 2004 and have been a member of the General Osteopathic Council since. After graduating and working as a locum in Aberdeen, I left the UK to travel South East Asia and New Zealand for six months before returning to begin my career as an Osteopath in London. The past 17 years have seen me working in both private and NHS clinics in Earlsfield, Battersea and Putney where I still practice three days per week.
The focus of my clinic work is helping patients suffering from both acute and long-term injuries. In particular, I specialise in spinal, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle injuries in addition to helping people with tension and neck-related headaches. My treatment is a structural approach using a combination of massage, manipulation, mobilisation and neuromuscular techniques, in addition to rehabilitation exercises.
Beyond general practice, I live an active life having played football, rugby and cricket to a good standard in my teens and twenties. In the last ten years I have switched to more individual sports such as golf and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu. I play off a 18 handicap and hold a purple belt respectively.
As an adjunct to my osteopathic work, I practice dry needling and incorporate clinical Pilates. I studied clinical Pilates in my late twenties after suffering from two prolapsed discs from playing rugby. The debilitating injury challenged my perception of managing injuries as I sought to add a way of preventing recurrence as well as pain management.

She holds a diploma in paediatric osteopathy from the Osteopathic Centre for Children and volunteered there for two years following her graduation, further developing her clinical experience in paediatric care.
From the beginning of her career, Marine had a strong interest in working with children, which naturally led her to specialise in paediatric osteopathy immediately after graduating. She is particularly passionate about early-life care and prevention, supporting babies and newborns after birth to promote healthy development.
Marine has experience in treating a wide range of conditions in children including plagiocephaly, reflux, colic, torticollis, head preference, tongue tie-related difficulties, and latching difficulties.
