Daryl Herbert Principal Osteopath

Daryl was originally born in Leeds, Yorkshire, but spent almost all of his childhood and school years living in Chingford. After gaining his “A” levels, Daryl started at the British School of Osteopathy, London in 1984 and graduated with his “Diploma in Osteopathy” in 1988.

After graduating Daryl started his practice in Chingford working alongside his father, a local GP, in Chingford Health Centre, where his practice grew but after approximately nine years was moved to the new purpose built Churchill Medical Centre. From then Daryl has continued to build his practice which now has three other osteopaths and various complementary practitioners working with him.

Some three months after graduation Daryl returned to the British School of Osteopathy as a clinical tutor in the out patients department, and after approximately four years moved across to the Technique department. Technique is the practical skill that is required to be an Osteopath. Daryl has been teaching technique now for over twenty years and was co-ordinator of the first year students education for fifteen years. He was responsible for the syllabus and assessment programme of the first year students and staff development of the colleagues he worked with. Now he is currently teaching the Advanced Spinal Manipulation elective to the 4th (final) year students.

At the same time as starting his own practice and following graduation Daryl also worked as an assistant for Professor Laurie Hartman in north London. Daryl continued to work with Laurie for approximately six years learning and gaining experience of osteopathic practice. It was during this period that Daryl was introduced to teaching osteopathic manipulation skills by Laurie, first in the UK at the British School of Osteopathy then Europe, Scandinavia and the USA. This then progressed further to the point where Daryl now teaches in his own right at a number of different osteopathic schools, manual & physiotherapy groups in many countries outside the UK.
