Principal
Paul Morrissey
I founded The Osteopathic Clinic at Cheyne Walk in March 2003, with a goal of developing a centre of excellence for the treatment of Osteopathy, Pilates, Rehabilitation and Sports massage.
The vision was to create a 'Harley Street' experience in Croydon, Surrey and following our refit 2012 the feedback suggests we've achieved this.
I'm looking forward to helping you experience our expertise.

JAMIE ISHERWOOD
I qualified from the British School of Osteopathy (now the University College of Osteopathy) in 2004 and have been a member of the General Osteopathic Council since. After graduating and working as a locum in Aberdeen, I left the UK to travel South East Asia and New Zealand for six months before returning to begin my career as an Osteopath in London. The past 17 years have seen me working in both private and NHS clinics in Earlsfield, Battersea and Putney where I still practice three days per week.
The focus of my clinic work is helping patients suffering from both acute and long-term injuries. In particular, I specialise in spinal, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle injuries in addition to helping people with tension and neck-related headaches. My treatment is a structural approach using a combination of massage, manipulation, mobilisation and neuromuscular techniques, in addition to rehabilitation exercises.
Beyond general practice, I live an active life having played football, rugby and cricket to a good standard in my teens and twenties. In the last ten years I have switched to more individual sports such as golf and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu. I play off a 18 handicap and hold a purple belt respectively.
As an adjunct to my osteopathic work, I practice dry needling and incorporate clinical Pilates. I studied clinical Pilates in my late twenties after suffering from two prolapsed discs from playing rugby. The debilitating injury challenged my perception of managing injuries as I sought to add a way of preventing recurrence as well as pain management.

Serena Joy
Serena is our new Pilates Teacher & here's her bio.
Serena grew up with poor physical awareness and ability, but Pilates transformed her body and ignited a passion to understand the human body, which eventually led to her Neuroscience MSci from University College London. Learning from leading teachers and internationally recognised academics, her own teaching is informed by current developments, new insights, and solid knowledge, combined with a thorough appreciation of Pilates principles.
Unlike everyone else, Serena initially hated Pilates, finding the focused approach to movement frustrating at the start. She could work hard, but Pilates required mind-body connection. “Everyone in the class remembered exercises, spoke of finding connections and having this amazing experience, whilst I just couldn’t get it.” Serena is forever grateful to the teachers who persevered with her frustration and lack of movement skills as classes soon became essential, “Experiencing my body as part of me, rather than a thing to do something to – Pilates made the mind-body connection real.”
Starting regular equipment Pilates classes in 1999 dramatically changed Serena’s approach to exercise. “Instead of feeling I should exercise, Pilates made moving easier, meaning my struggle now is choosing between fun physical activities. Cold water swimming, yoga and cycling are integral to my life – and I can’t wait to return to climbing and trapeze!”
Serena completed the two-year, 1200-hour comprehensive Pilates teacher training in 2006 with two Pilates Foundation founders, Anne-Marie Zulkahari and Hana Jones. Since then, she has taught in studios and osteopathic, chiropractic and physiotherapy clinics, addressing clients’ needs in partnership with other health professionals. Alongside work with clients, Serena has continued to investigate the deeper role of Pilates as a remedial and therapeutic tool, and developed her understanding through academic study and research.
Serena applies a creative approach to her wealth of experience and knowledge to create classes that offer challenge but are always encouraging, engaging and fun. Whatever your current ability, injury or issues, Serena can develop a personal programme to help you feel better in your body and enjoy physical movement.
