Mr. Relf originally trained as a micro-biologist and worked in Hampshire and London. When he hurt his back he went to see an Osteopath and was impressed by the effectiveness of the treatment. A few years later he went to see another Osteopath in London; they got talking, and the result of this was that Mr. Relf completed a 4 year full-time course, at the British School of Osteopathy to qualify as an osteopath in 1982.
