Marc Deora, DO.    Paediatric Etiopath, 

Important Update: 
 
I would like to inform you all of an important change in my professional journey. 
As of the 9th of May 2025, after 36 years of active practice, I have decided to reduce my work load and therefore officially, voluntarily withdrew in "good standing" my  Registration from the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).
In accordance with the Osteopath's Act 1993, I will no longer use the title "Osteopath", nor claim to be an Osteopath in the UK.

Moving forward, As a Paediatric ETIOPATH, I will continue to care for my patients in both Cambridge and Bury St.Edmunds clinics.

Importantly the Osteopaths Act 1993 does not restrict the use of osteopathic techniques or care, which means that my patients will receive the same care - build on 40 years of experience- that they have come to rely upon. 

Why move to Etiopathic Medicine?

Changing from Osteopathy to Etiopathy will be one of the most Challenging decisions I have ever made.

However this New profession will allow me to combine my passion for manual therapy, give me the freedom to be creative with a wider, holistic understanding of health and well-being.
Transitioning will be a journey with many new challenges, but one that will continue to inspire me every day. I am grateful for the experiences that led me here and look forward to continuing to help others on their own journeys to health.

Marc                                              

               

Marc was a fully qualified Registered Osteopath, with the General Osteopathic Council, for 36 years.

His comprehensive training meant a rigorous four-year full-time program at the ESO: European School of Osteopathy, situated in Maidstone, Kent.

This renowned institution is distinguished for its two-year curriculum focused on cranial osteopathy prior to graduation, and has a prestigious reputation worldwide.

Following the successful completion of his training in 1989, Marc gained invaluable experience by working at various clinics across the southern region of England. He acquired his foundation knowledge in Paediatric osteopathy under the tutelage of Stuart Korth, DO. in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Additionally, he further gained his expertise in Paediatric Osteopathy between 1994 and 1998 at the renowned OCC: Osteopathic Centre for Children in London.

Marc's extensive training, coupled with his dedication to paediatrics, exemplifies his commitment to delivering exceptional care to patients of all ages.

Throughout his professional journey, Marc has been profoundly influenced by the teachings of the renowned American Paediatric Osteopath: Dr. Viola Frymann, DO.

From 1993 to 2010, he actively followed Dr. Frymann's guidance, learning from her wisdom, offering his assistance, and regularly serving, for 17 years, as her Interpreter / translator.(at the Ecole Supérieure d'Ostéopathie -Paris).

In July 1993, Marc realised his long-standing vision of establishing a specialised centre dedicated to the treatment of children, leading to the inception of the Osteopathic Centre for Family & Children in Cambridge.

Marc is an active Member of the American Academy of Pediatric Osteopathy (MAAPO)
since 2023.

After two years of PostGraduate Osteopathic education with the NUMSS (National University of Medical Sciences - Madrid - Spain), Marc completed his DO: Doctorate in Osteopathy in January 2025.

For the last 36 years, Marc has spent many weekends abroad teaching the next generations of Osteopaths the skills needed to be competent in Paediatric Osteopathy in: 

1. France ( CSO  Paris & Toulouse, and also the I.O. in Rennes-Bretagne).
2. Poland (Gdansk and Warsaw),  Denmark (Copenhagen, Fredericia & Vejle), Sweden (Gothenburg), Norway (Oslo)
