The osteopath behind your care

Jeremias Kerrey came to Osteopathy from a previous career in law, and it shows in how he works. He brings a structured, analytical way of thinking to every consultation: a detailed case history, a methodical physical assessment, and clear reasoning you can follow in the room. His aim is to find what is actually driving your pain, not just where it hurts, and then explain it in plain language so you leave with a clear picture of what is happening and why.

Much of his interest is in the pain of daily life: the strain that builds from your job, from repetitive activity, or from stress held in the body. He also enjoys working with complex, long-standing pain, which often needs a patient, whole-person approach rather than a quick answer. Osteopathy offers a broad range of techniques, from very gentle work to firmer hands-on treatment, and Jeremias chooses what suits the person in front of him. He consults in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Above all, Jeremias works with your consent and your comfort at the centre. He explains what he is doing, checks in as he goes, and adjusts to your preference and tolerance throughout. If you feel nervous about a first visit, he will guide you through every step at a pace that feels right for you. As he puts it, nothing happens without your consent.
