Jay Ruddock M(Ost), BA (Hons), Dip PT.
Registered Osteopath & Adv. Practitioner of the Rolf Method of Structural Integration.
Jay began his interest in health and wellbeing back in his teenage years through a keen interest in long distance cycling. What impressed him most were the significant changes it is possible to make in your body by changing how you use it and how you care for it.
This interest led him to choose health as his career and subsequently complete a degree in sport, health and physical education at Bangor University. The aim in Jay's career now is the same as it was then, to help people change their body so it serves them better and be a source of support to them, not a burden.
This first took the form of exercise therapy, in 2003 Jay completed the Premier Training Diploma in Personal Training and set up Future Perfect Health with the aim of using exercise as the medium for change in people. Through his own injury problems he discovered the far reaching effects Structural Integration is able to make to how a person's body stands, functions and moves. This subsequently led him to travel to Colorado in 2005 to become a Structural Integration practitioner, progressing to be an advanced practitioner in 2007.
In 2008, in his desire to expand his knowledge base and range of treatments Jay enrolled at the London School of Osteopathy where he graduated with a Masters in Osteopathy (M Ost) winning the Dean's Prize for Excellence. His final year dissertation regarding the placebo effect and it's role in osteopathic research is currently being considered for publication.
When not developing his practice in Bath or assisting in the delivery of lectures at the London School of Osteopathy he enjoys spending time running, hiking and camping in far flung windswept locations all over the UK, and if that isn't challenging enough he also fervently supports Arsenal Football Club.
His main ambitions are to continue his development as a practitioner by being in practice and completing further academic studies, and to have enough time to own a dog that will go running with him...
- "Your treatments have lived up to and far exceeded my expectations, they have cured my aches and pains and given me back so much more that I didn't even realise I had lost."
- "I feel I have really benefited a lot. I feel generally fitter and more energetic, and my movements are more fluid too."
- "I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with my new hips! In my eyes you are a miracle worker and I highly recommend you to anyone and everyone."
- "I feel more at ease with myself physically. What aches, twinges and stiffness I had in joints and muscles are gone. I am more conscious of how to relax and move. It is a long time since I have felt as well as this physically."
- "Jay was true to his word my back was back to normal within seven weeks and I haven't had a problem since - I feel like a young man again. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone who has any aches and pains that they are finding it hard to live with. He really can help!"
- "I can't thank you enough for the unbelievable changes I have gone through, going from being in an uncomfortable unbalanced body that hurt so much, to being balanced, comfortable in my own body, pain free, and full of extra energy."
