Hills Osteopathic Practice. The Team
Julian Howard. Registered Osteopath
 The Hills Osteopathic practice was set up by Julian Howard.
In 1993 he experienced a life changing event. His son had a difficult birth, and at 10 days old he took him to the Osteopathic Centre for Children (Farringday, London). Julian became fascinated by osteopathy and amazed by the way in which children with a wide range of illnesses and conditions could be helped. Julian decided that if he ever changed career this was what he would like to do. Eventually he sold his business and went back to university to study for the BSc degree in Osteopathic Medicine. Julian graduated with first class honours.
The wheel has turned full circle, in 2007 Julian completed a two years Masters in Paediatric Osteopathy at the Osteopathic Centre for Children, and has worked alongside some of the best osteopaths in the UK.
Having had a sucessful UK practice Julian set up the Hills Osteopathic practice in Cherrybrook after moving to Sydney in late 2007.
