Ross qualified from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2005 with a 1st Class Honours degree in Osteopathic Medicine, Diploma in Osteopathy and Diploma in Naturopathy. Ross was the first osteopath in the world to complete the IASP award winning, Master’s in Pain programme at Kings College London in 2009. Ross is currently nearing completion of his PhD at Swansea University in how aspects of the osteopathic approach impact the transition from chronic pain to pain-free living in pregnancy. Clinically, Ross sees patients presenting with a broad range of muscle, bone and joint problems and has specialist interests in chronic neck and back pain, digestive issues, and treatment-resistant nerve compression syndromes which cause altered sensations (“pins and needles”) in the upper and lower limbs.

From 2011 until 2022 Ross was Senior Lecturer at Swansea University whereby, after initially developing and establishing the Master’s in Osteopathy programme, he led the delivery of teaching in a range of subjects such as osteopathic clinical skills, medical pathophysiology, and pain science to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Given his expertise in the teaching of manual therapy approaches such as soft tissue and joint manipulation, as well as exercise-based rehabilitation Ross is particularly passionate about osteopathy being gentle, safe, and effective.

Throughout his career Ross has been research active and has published multiple articles on pain in the peer-review literature. In addition to private practice, he has maintained a broad portfolio of external consultancy to medical and osteopathic institutions in the UK and Europe.
