John Wernham DO trained at the British School of Osteopathy, both before and after World War 2, and was a friend and student of John Martin Littlejohn who trained under Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy. He practiced until he was 99 years old and finally passed away on February 9th 2007. He was an immense figure in osteopathy and would describe himself as being in the unusual position of being at the centre of the osteopathic profession and the fringe at the same time.
