With over 20 years of clinical experience, Sam combines osteopathy and Functional Medicine to help people make sense of symptoms that may have previously seemed confusing, unrelated or difficult to explain. After qualifying as an osteopath in 2003, Sam spent 13 years at Walnut Grove Clinic, where he developed a strong foundation in patient-centred care before spending the last decade integrating Functional Medicine into his clinical practice. He is delighted to be collaborating with Walnut Grove once again, making his integrated approach to persistent and complex health concerns available to patients through the clinic.

Sam has a particular interest in helping people with persistent or complex health concerns, including migraine, chronic pain, fatigue, digestive health issues and other long-standing symptoms that have not fully responded to conventional approaches. Many of his patients have seen multiple healthcare professionals before attending and value his ability to help them understand how seemingly unrelated symptoms may be connected. Rather than viewing each symptom in isolation, Sam looks for the underlying patterns connecting the nervous system, immune system, gut, metabolism, nutrition and lifestyle. This whole-person approach often helps explain why symptoms can fluctuate, overlap or persist, allowing treatment to focus on the factors most likely to improve long-term health.

As an IFM Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Sam combines the latest evidence with more than two decades of clinical experience to create personalised, practical treatment plans tailored to each individual. His approach is centred on helping people understand why symptoms have developed, why they may persist and, most importantly, what can be done to support better long-term health. His goal is not simply to manage symptoms, but to help people better understand their health, build resilience and support long-term wellbeing through realistic, evidence-informed care.
