The 9th of February, the anniversary of the passing away of John Wernham DO, feels like a fitting moment to pause and acknowledge a place that carries a remarkable strand of osteopathic history. The former premises from which John Wernham worked, and which is now being offered for sale, has been woven into the life of osteopathy in Britain for over half a century.

Established as an osteopathic clinic in the late 1940s, in the austere years of post-war Britain, it was here that John Wernham practised and taught. In October 1954, the Institute of Classical Osteopathy, then known as the Osteopathic Institute of Applied Technique, held its inaugural meeting within these walls.

The building continued to serve the local community for decades and later became the birthplace of the Maidstone School of Osteopathy in 1984, which was subsequently named the John Wernham College of Classical Osteopathy in recognition of his influence and teaching.

Buildings come and go, but the ideas, principles, and standards forged within them endure through people and practice. On this anniversary, we remember John Wernham not only through bricks and mortar, but through the living continuity of osteopathy that he helped shape and pass on...

✨ Free Webinar: Discover Classical Osteopathy ✨
Thinking about training in Classical Osteopathy?
Join us for an open Q&A webinar where we unpack everything you want to know about the course.

🎓 We’ll answer your real questions:
•⁠ ⁠What exactly is taught?
•⁠ ⁠Where & when does the training happen?
•⁠ ⁠How long is the course?
•⁠ ⁠How much work is involved?
•⁠ ⁠What reading is recommended?
•⁠ ⁠What are the costs and payment options?
•⁠ ⁠And anything else you want to ask!

💡 Why students join this course:
Many practitioners feel that something is missing in their current practice or training—
a desire for deeper principles, a clearer rationale for treatment, and a more integrated understanding of the body’s mechanics and natural laws.

Our Classical Osteopathy programme helps bridge that gap by:
This training goes deeper into:
✨ classical principles
✨ whole-body mechanics
✨ a clearer rationale for treatment
✨ reconnecting with osteopathy’s original foundations

🗓 Date: Wednesday 10th December
🕒 Time: 7pm UK time
💻 Location: Online webinar (free to join)
📩 Register: https://buytickets.at/instituteofclassicalosteopathy/1965972

If you’re looking for greater meaning, clarity, and unity in your treatments, you’ll find it here.

✨ Biological fluctuation and its clinical implications
✨ How timing influences vulnerability, recovery, and responsiveness
✨ Chronotherapeutic insights for improving outcomes
