# John Hoggard Manual Therapist
John Hoggard is an experienced manual therapist based in Petworth, West Sussex, offering specialist treatment to patients of all ages. A graduate of the British School of Osteopathy since 1978, John spent over four decades practising in Sevenoaks and London before semi-retiring to Petworth in 2019, where he now operates his manual therapy practice.
John treats an exceptionally wide range of conditions using manipulation, massage, and cranial techniques. His patient base spans from newborns (treating birth trauma) to elderly patients in their nineties, demonstrating his versatility and gentle approach. He specialises in spinal conditions affecting the lower back and neck, head and facial pain, sports injuries, and problems affecting the arms, legs, and feet. His treatment of infants and children employs particularly gentle techniques suited to their needs.
What distinguishes John's practice is his comprehensive diagnostic approach. Initial consultations include detailed case history-taking covering current problems, medical history, and medications. He conducts mobility assessments and, when necessary, recommends additional diagnostics such as blood tests or MRI scans, or referrals to other healthcare professionals.
John employs modern therapeutic tools alongside traditional techniques, incorporating low-level laser therapy to promote soft tissue healing and a G5 massager for enhanced treatment outcomes. His combination of traditional osteopathic training, four decades of clinical experience, and willingness to adapt treatment for patients of any age makes him a distinctive choice for manual therapy in West Sussex.
