Gareth Degg

Gareth is a Masters-qualified Osteopath with a strong background in human movement, sports performance, and rehabilitation. He began his career in London as a Personal Trainer before completing his Masters in Osteopathy at the British School of Osteopathy in 2013. He later graduated from the world-renowned Applied Functional Science (GIFT) mentorship programme at the Gray Institute in Michigan, USA, further developing his whole-body approach to assessment and treatment.

With extensive experience across both general practice and high-level sport, Gareth has worked with people of all ages and activity levels, from elite athletes and recreational runners to office workers, parents, and retirees. His approach focuses on understanding the wider factors contributing to a problem rather than simply treating the site of pain.

Gareth combines detailed biomechanical assessment with evidence-informed manual therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and exercise-based treatment. Where appropriate, he may also use Shockwave Therapy to support the management of persistent tendon issues.

Known for his calm manner and thorough approach, Gareth takes the time to understand each patient’s goals and explain their condition clearly. His aim is to help patients understand their body, manage their symptoms, and return confidently to the activities that matter to them.

When he’s not helping patients in the clinic, Gareth divides his time between two very different passions: keeping active and exploring the world of rum! You’ll often find him in the gym, attending Pilates classes, or enjoying the occasional yoga session.

Outside of the clinic, Gareth is actively involved in the UK rum community and regularly travels throughout the UK and overseas to deepen his knowledge and appreciation of his favourite spirit. He also hosts the monthly Richmond Rum Club, where local enthusiasts come together to explore, taste, and discuss exceptional rums from around the world.
