About Darren Tilley D.O.

I like chocolate. And cakes, and I really like peanut butter on toast. I have a chubby tired man inside me in a box, who escapes when I eat the above, which has led to nearly two decades of studying nutrition.

It possibly led in at least some small way to me learning Osteopathy for six years.

I learnt a lot about health and fitness during 16 years of practising a martial art called Tae-kwon do. This culminated in my founding and teaching in my own school of tae kwon do, which in turn led to me gaining a lecturing position at Swindon college, while in my final years of osteopathic training.

I’ve found that I really enjoy teaching, it’s a great way of making sure I understand what I thought I already knew. I now regularly run seminars and teach for various organisations.

I no longer practise Tae-kwon do, but over the years have dabbled in many other martial arts, and various  sports including fencing, squash, badminton, archery and skiing, which I’m fairly good at (the skiing that is).  My greatest enjoyment over the last five years though, has been Ceroc dancing.

I have my two wonderful teenage children, who live with me, and our Pyrenean mountain dog.

My hobbies include making things out of clay, I enjoy building wooden furniture, and turn out stuff at the sometimes extraordinary rate of one piece every two or three years. I’ve been known to paint works of wondrous art, (at least my niece thinks so). I read lots of all sorts of things, and write similarly. I'm fascinated by our brains and by psychology, I enjoy learning about popular psychology. I'd like to learn how to golf as well...
