Giles has practiced extensively within the UK, specialising in craniosacral and conventional structural osteopathy techniques within his practice. 

After being awarded a Master’s Degree in Osteopathic Paediatrics, Giles opened The Chandos Clinic as a centre of excellence in osteopathy and complementary medicine in 1999. Alongside running the clinic Giles also founded the Paediatric unit for the Master’s Degree programme at the European School of Osteopathy and co-founded the Bristol Children’s Clinic in 1997.

Giles has been a qualified and prescribing homeopath since 1990 and in his earlier years of practice, worked with horses by treating them with osteopathy and homeopathy.

In addition he has his own teaching school, Integrated Osteopathic Studies, through which he runs around a dozen residential courses each year for post-graduate Osteopaths. His teaching extends to Finland, Switzerland, Norway, Australia, Spain and Germany as well as the UK and Ireland. 

See www.integratedosteopathicstudies.com if you are a practicing Osteopath who would like further information.

This international work is also a platform for his professional development in clinical practice and philosophy.

In more than 18 years as an Osteopath, I’ve treated over 10,000 patients, continually developing and practising a very patient-centred approach to diagnosis and treatment, combining and utilising a variety of treatment techniques. 

I’m very passionate about getting people out of pain & keeping them out of pain, setting goals and targets that are meaningful and measurable to each individual.
