After graduating in 1979, Jody taught Osteopathic technique at the British College of Osteopathy and Naturopathy.
He maintained a private practice in England and also did locum work in London for other osteopaths. After a few years, frustrated by the British weather, Jody and his family decided to move to Portugal.
He immediately set up practice at the Estoril Sol Hotel, and started to attend patients. At first there were only British patients because 25 years ago, Osteopathy was practically unknown in Portugal. Soon the Portuguese started to arrive and today they account for about 95% of all of Jody's patients.
After the Estoril Sol, Jody worked at International Medical Center in Cascais, where he stayed for 12 years, before moving to the present location: "Saúde Integral" at Quinta da Bicuda, Cascais.
Over the past 10 tears, Jody has tutored and mentored many young Osteopathy students and lectured and promoted workshops for both Osteopaths and other health care providers.
For two years Jody was an external examiner for the Osteopathy degree of "Oxford Brookes University" in Lisbon.
Jody's main passion is treating patients, which he has been doing continuously, ever since he graduated.
Jody is a member of the following organizations:
- Associação de Profissionais de Osteopatia
- Federação Portuguesa de Osteopatas
- General Council and Register of Osteopaths-UK
- Forum for Osteopathic Regulation
