# The Ross Clinic of Osteopathy and Complementary Medicine

The Ross Clinic, directed by Nicholas Handoll DO FSCC, provides osteopathic care and complementary medicine in Ross-on-Wye. With over 45 years of clinical experience and 35 years of teaching, Handoll is a recognised authority in cranial osteopathy and has significantly contributed to osteopathy's development in the UK.

Though Handoll terminated his General Osteopathic Council registration in 2018, he continues delivering osteopathic techniques and care informed by decades of expertise. His approach prioritises identifying root causes rather than merely treating symptoms, working with patients' bodies to restore natural health. The clinic welcomes patients across all ages, from newborns under two weeks old to patients in their 90s, with specific experience in infant and children's care.

The clinic distinguishes itself through Handoll's substantial teaching background and specialisation in cranial osteopathy—a refined discipline within osteopathic practice. Rather than relying on aggressive marketing, the clinic builds its reputation organically; most patients arrive through personal recommendations from previous clients or referrals from other health professionals including GPs, dentists, midwives and health visitors.

Located at Berkeley House, New Street, the clinic provides comprehensive consultations where patients have time to discuss their health concerns thoroughly. Whether addressing musculoskeletal issues, developmental concerns in children, or general wellness, the clinic's philosophy emphasises patient-centred, evidence-informed care grounded in genuine clinical experience.
