The practice is run by Adam Fiske (BOst) who qualified in 2005 at the British School of Osteopathy (BSO), the UK’s most established school of Osteopathy.
After working at other practices as an associate, Adam became principal osteopath at Mid Sussex Osteopaths. Since then, Adam has also taught at the BSO as a clinic tutor and worked at the University of Brighton undertaking research into osteopathy.
He currently works on the Investigations Committee for the profession’s regulator, the General Osteopathic Council.

Adam trained at the BSO, graduating with an MOst in osteopathy and continues his professional development by regularly attending courses aimed at the treatment of sports-related injuries and lifestyle-limiting, chronic conditions. Adam believes in combining osteopathic techniques with exercise and stretching advice to optimise recovery and help prevent the recurrence of patients’ problems.
He’s a keen sportsman and enjoys snowboarding, surfing, running and mountain biking, which gives him a good understanding of how sports people use their bodies. Adam developed an interest in osteopathy having seen the benefits derived from osteopathic back pain treatments for friends and family.
