Philip von Hauenschild graduated from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) in 1998. Having studied the violin until the age of 22 (and having suffered back ache!) he became interested in posture and movement patterns. Consequently his work at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in London working with primary movement patterns, combined with his love of racquet sports emphasised the need for a whole body osteopathic concept. He taught at the BCOM (British College of Osteopathic Medicine) for 5 years and since 2002 teaches at Oxford Brookes University. He has lectured and runs courses in the UK, Germany, Israel, Denmark and Portugal. Phil runs a busy practice in Chelsea, London and is a keen squash and tennis player.
