Ian and Helen Norman founded The welwyn and Hatfield Practice in 1998 following study at the British school of Osteopathy in London the oldest and most prestigious training school .
Ian very much enjoys the hands on approach that osteopathy brings. He is passionate about his patient outcome and works not only from a bio – mechanical perspective but with a mind ,body and spirit approach that is truly holistic.
”I really enjoy treating “complex” ”non – resolving” conditions, its very satisfying . You just have to try harder, concentrate more ,work from more angles and just learn to think laterally. In the forefront of your mind being always aware that pain can be caused by many different often unrelated problems.The key is to really listen to your patient and their history”
“”I can quite quickly identify and diagnose a patients problem therefore treat them efficiently. Most patients often recover within three to four visits”.
Ian has a personal interest and passion in sports related injuries and has considerable experience with sports teams working ” hands on” at pitch side and various national sporting events . Ian focuses on the person and not just the symptoms and has his own unique style of neuro- release treatment .
He has good working experience within the NHS and private clinics treating GP and specialist Consultant referrals gaining a wide range of experience. Ian specialises in sympton diagnosis with patients that have ” difficult ” or non – resolving conditions.
Ian spent nearly ten years working with the RAF advising on ergonomics and treating workplace injuries and advising on difficult areas of work which tend to manifest chronic pain or acute injuries.
Ian is currently working with the local commercial sector assisting doctors and occupational health specialists treating workplace injuries, repetitive and non resolving conditions . Prevention is better than cure !!
Ian believes that much of the pain he see’s is due to our sedentary lifestyle, poor posture at work, or from a sporting perspective a progressive training routine .
Ian is happy to give talks to groups and individuals with the aim to encourage, educate and explain in simple terms bio – mechanical problems and how they tend to manifest day to day. Talks can help employees to understand why injuries happen. Feedback suggests these workshops can really improve the workplace experience.
Ian is a firm believer in liaising closely with other medical practitioners including GPs, Neurosurgeons, Consultant Radiologists and Podiatrists in order to achieve a satisfactory result for the patient.
