Daniel Hayward - Osteopath.

Daniel is also a fully registered osteopath. He qualified from the British school of osteopathy in 1999. He then returned to his native East Anglia to work in a very successful clinic which had close links with the local hospital consultants and GP’s.

In 2001 Daniel took an opportunity to work in Australia and New Zealand, during his two years down under Daniel was lucky enough to work with some of the leading osteopaths in the southern hemisphere gaining much experience. His work with the Australian dance theatre and elite disabled athletes broadened his approach.

Daniel has a special interest in the treatment of babies and children. He has gained much experience in this field using cranial osteopathy, a gentle treatment which helps unwind stresses in the body restoring health. Cranial work is equally effective for adults, in particular chronic and more complex cases.

Steve Bulmer – Massage Therapist.

I get a great deal of satisfaction from being a sports massage practitioner, as I get to help a great many people from all walks of life. A sports practitioner does not just treat athletes or sports enthusiasts, although a good deal of my time is spent that way.

All my patients have achievements and stories to tell and I gain much pleasure from these successes and feel personal pride in knowing that I have helped in some small way with these achievements, be they from professional athletes achieving gold to elderly citizens getting through the day with increased mobility.

Also being a management consultant gives me an added skill-set which helps me to fully appreciate the stresses of everyday business life and enables me to pinpoint the areas of stress and how best to treat these. I have had much success with local business executives in relieving the harmful effects of stress and thus increasing effectiveness.

Esther Fox - BSc (hons) Post Grad Dip MCSP.

My interest in Physiotherapy started many years ago after many falls off of racehorses! Since then I have qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist and have worked in a number of different settings, including hospitals, clinics and schools. I am trained in Pilates and to use the principles of Pilates to tailor the exercise programmes to help rehabilitate after accidents, injury and operation. My treatment tends to be a combination of ‘hands on’ therapy, exercise therapy and electrotherapy. I work in close conjunction with the other professionals at Zenith House.

Outside of the clinic life is busy and active. I am a keen and experienced rider and have been involved with Equestrian competition, in the form of top level eventing, show-jumping and racing for many years. Last year I took up rock climbing and am always keen to get involved in outdoor adventure sport. My second great love is Ashtanga yoga which I practise regularly and love to be involved in Ashtanga yoga workshops and training worldwide.
