Jonathan Grice

Jonathan trained at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in London and is a NZ Registered Osteopath. After graduating, he built extensive clinical experience in private practice from 2010, before holding an NHS contract in Twickenham where he received GP referrals. From 2019 to 2022 he worked in advanced clinical practice at an NHS GP surgery, focusing on musculoskeletal diagnosis and onward referral. Born and raised in Christchurch, Jonathan returned home in 2022 — bringing with him over a decade of international experience, including a period as a vaccinator during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jonathan's treatments draw on structural, classical, and cranial osteopathic techniques, tailored to each patient's presentation and goals. Alongside hands-on osteopathy, he incorporates bio-photomodulation (low-level laser therapy) for pain management and tissue healing — an area in which he has developed particular expertise through his work with THOR Photomedicine, where he authored over 200 treatment protocols. He also uses kinesiology taping and exercise rehabilitation where clinically appropriate.

Jonathan has a deep specialist interest in bio-photomodulation and its clinical applications in musculoskeletal and chronic pain conditions. His work with THOR Photomedicine has seen him develop protocols for a wide range of presentations — from aphthous ulcers to post-herpetic neuralgia. He also brings extensive experience managing complex musculoskeletal cases from his years working within NHS general practice.

Born and raised in Christchurch, Jonathan spent many years working in the UK before returning home in 2022. He is glad to be back in the city he grew up in, and brings a broad clinical perspective shaped by years of NHS practice and international collaboration. Outside the clinic, Jonathan remains connected to his community and enjoys the outdoor lifestyle that Christchurch and the surrounding region have to offer.
