Birthday

Our clinic is 21 years old this autumn.  So perhaps birth day is wrong; nothing else sounds right.
Colin Crewdson established the clinic in a basement room in Boxall & Freeman's orthodontic 
practice in Richmond Road, near the clocktower in Exeter, sharing the lower two floors

with Brian and Penny Brown, chiropodists and podiatrists.  A modest start in the autumn of 1985, but there are one or two patients who have remained with us  since those (perforce)  relaxed days.

Changes to the clinic occurred gradually, a move upstairs (perhaps a little too close to the overhead loos), teaming up with other practitioners (Dr Peter Bissen - homeopathy, Erica Read - postural integration, Cathy Jenkins - hypnotherapy) and eventually with other osteopaths 
(Warwick Downes and Sharon McDaid).

In 1995 Colin, Warwick and Sharon joined forces with Jennie Dallas and Simon King, who run the Clinic of Chinese Medicine, to take on space in BBC Radio Devon's premises on St David's Hill, where we still work. A few personnel changes have ocurred since then, naturally: Colin and Warwick have been joined by osteopaths Paul Thompson (our third partner) and David Stainer-Smith. Other colleagues are Lorraine Findlay (homeopath), Angie Avis (counsellor and psychotherapist), and our invaluable receptionists Suzie Brown and Sue Ebanks.  Jennie and Simon in the Chinese Clinic remain the other pillar in our establishment.
