The Rodney Street Practice was started by Eleanor Barlow in the 1960’s and was originally situated in number thirty nine. Peter Lloyd, who works in Wallasey, joined the practice in 1970 and stayed until 1993. Christina Parsons moved back up from London 1976, buying out Eleanor Barlow who left to concentrate on her North Wales practice and her Golf Club shortly afterwards.

In 1979 the Practice moved to 88 Rodney Street.

Over the years many other osteopaths have worked in the Practice and contributed to its character. Many of them have continued to work locally in their own practices and other locations. Others are as far away as Australia. Margaret Lavender joined the practice in 1982, replacing Farooq Khan, who sadly died in 2001. Christopher Dixon replaced Peter Lloyd in 1993. Andrew Woodhouse joined us in 1998, when Alison Court (now Bellamy) left to have a baby having worked in the practice for eight years, and Fionnuala Murphy joined us in 2002 when Kay Barker left to concentrate on her other practices.

In 2003 Kate Anderson joined the practice to widen the scope of the practice to include Traditional Chinese Medical Acupuncture.
