Dr Nick Marcer has been practising osteopathy for over 35 years. He is also an experienced lecturer, clinical supervisor and international examiner. After qualifying as an osteopath form the European School of Osteopathy (ESO), Maidstone, Kent, UK, he worked in two very different practices; one which was devoted to treating mostly chronic problems, whilst the other dealt with acute problems. This early experience helped him to develop his own method of approach to all patients. Later, Nick worked for a number of years in a Thermal Spa, in Ischia, Italy and in the winters, in the University Klinik at the hospital of Innsbruck, Austria. Once again, these two contrasting work experiences were important in his osteopathic development.

On returning to the UK, he returned to teaching at the ESO and supervising in the out-patients’ clinic where he held the roles of Sports Clinic Director, lecturer of anatomy and lecturer of structural and visceral technique. His role as anatomy lecturer in the UK was further broadened as teaching assistant to Prof. Frank Willard at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine, in Maine USA.

Currently, Nick lives in Switzerland where he is the principal of a busy general osteopathic group practice. In addition to daily osteopathic practice, he lectures in anatomy at the School of Osteopathy, Fribourg, Switzerland as part of the Universities of Western Switzerland. He teaches both practical dissection and theory classes. His specialities are the nervous system, notably the autonomics, and visceral anatomy. His role as international lecturer and examiner takes him to many European Countries, USA and Russia.
