Clinic Staff

Osteopath Ed Cossart

Edward Cossart

Clinic Director & Osteopath (M.Ost)

After gaining a first-class applied masters degree from the European School of Osteopathy Ed started practice in Harley Street and Sussex. Since then Ed has focused on specialising in functional and cranial osteopathy due to its effectiveness and diverse clinical applications. Although Ed see's patients of all ages from new born onwards, Ed specialises in chronic pain and complex case management. His work attracts patients from all walks of life both locally and internationally. Key to the way Ed works is finding the 'primary lesion', which is the source of the pain. Once this is found Ed uses a variety of techniques to help the patient to process this, principally using cranial and functional techniques. Ed often sees patients who have seen multiple practitioners previously for the same issues, which remain unresolved. Using careful examination, it is often possible to find the underlying cause and a lasting resolution, being pain relief, increased motion and a happier healthier body, mind and spirit.
