Avin strongly believes that continued professional development is a key factor in maintaining the high standards he aspires to. He recently attended a post-graduate training course with the British Medical Acupuncture Society and is currently working towards an MSc in Western Medical Acupuncture at the Hertfordshire Post Graduate Medical School.
Avin graduated from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) in 2006 with a degree in Bachelor of Osteopathic Medicine and diplomas in Osteopathy and Naturopathy.
He is a member of:
- General Osteopathic Council
- British Osteopathic Association
- Osteopathic Sports Care Association
- British Medical Acupuncture Society
Academic Qualifications
Within the course at BCOM numerous special clinics were run. Avin participated in these clinics, which consisted of paediatric (children’s) maternity, geriatric (elderly) and sports injuries. In his 5th year he wrote a research paper as well as studying three special study modules in the fields of:
1. Osteopathic Sports Medicine
2. Advanced Nutrition
3. Cranial Osteopathy
As well as Osteopathy and Acupuncture Avin has also attended post graduate training in Functional anatomy of structures within the foot during the stance phase of the gait cycle, and prescribes orthotics to those patients that require them.
Avin has a very simple and traditional approach whilst treating “Find it, Fix it, Leave it”. Prevention of problems whilst addressing existing complaints is the key to his treatment plan. He may (unless needle phobic!) use acupuncture to complement osteopathy or as a standalone treatment.
