Connor Reid, M.Ost
Registered Osteopath
​
Connor graduated from the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) with a Master’s degree in Osteopathy. Before completing his degree, he gained over five years of experience as a massage therapist and spent two years providing hands-on osteopathic care in the university clinic. During this time, he treated a wide range of patient presentations, from mild to more complex conditions.
Connor’s background in massage therapy has given him a strong understanding of soft tissue function, body mechanics, and the importance of a patient-centred approach. These skills have seamlessly integrated into his osteopathic practice, allowing him to deliver effective and tailored treatments for each individual.
​
Path to Osteopathy:
After leaving school in 2016, Connor began his career as a lifeguard in Sevenoaks before pursuing a Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification. He went on to achieve Level 3 qualifications in Personal Training and Sports Massage, which led him to transition from leisure centre work to a full-time massage therapy role in 2020.
Driven by a desire to deepen his knowledge and clinical skills, Connor began his degree in Osteopathy while continuing to work part-time as a massage therapist.
​
Approach to Treatment:
Connor combines his extensive experience in fitness and massage therapy with osteopathic principles to create personalised treatment and management plans for each patient. His aim is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore optimal function.
With a strong interest in sports—particularly rugby—Connor understands the physical demands that athletic activities can place on the body. Having benefitted from various physical therapy disciplines throughout his own sporting journey, he is now honoured to help others recover, move better, and thrive.
​
Connor is available for treatments at Hever Health on Wednesdays but also Oxted Osteopathy on Mondays and Fridays.
