Shambhu Manandhar MOst

Shambhu graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 2011 and is the first and only osteopath from Nepal. Shambhu is a structurally based GOsC registered osteopath and believes that Osteopathy is a great way to relieve musculoskeletal pain: by realigning the spine, the body finds its balance. Osteopathy doesn’t only take into account issues from your muscles or your bones. It understands the tight links between the mind and body, and how sometimes mental stress or issues can affect the body.

Shambhu is trained in Western Medical Acupuncture (WMA).
In WMA dry needles are inserted into areas of the body to reduce pain by creating some physiological changes. It is based on modern anatomy, physiology and pathology and is evidence-based medicine. “The satisfaction in helping others improve their health and to know how the body works is wonderful."

Shambhu has a Buddhist background and believes mind and body to be strongly linked to each other. For this reason, he did his master’s dissertation on mindfulness, breathing and its physiological effect on the muscles.

Shambhu is a keen photographer, musician and enjoys sports – he was a junior runner–up national gymnastic champion. He is fluent in Newari, Nepali, French and English.

Alfie Munding M.Ost, BSc.

Alfie graduated from the University College of Osteopathy. He follows the founding principles that you must treat the body as a whole, believing that you must consider the whole body when treating in order to make a prompt, stable and long lived recovery. He has worked with a wide array of backgrounds and is capable of helping patients with acute and chronic issues.

Alfie has his background in TaiChi, which focuses on three areas in order to promote health: lifestyle, meditation (promoting mental health) and martial arts (exercise). This was where he first encountered the holistic philosophy. These principles lead him to Osteopathy and have been invaluable when working with those with chronic systemic illnesses to help manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Beyond this Alfie enjoys sports and games of all kinds, as well as travelling the world, especially for food.
