George Ampat
Mr. Ampat works as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Liverpool University Hospitals Foundation Trust and as a Clinical Teacher at the School of Medicine, University of Liverpool. Mr. Ampat is the Secondary Care (Orthopaedics) Director of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine. Though a surgeon by training and practice, Mr Ampat now specialises in treating people with spine, feet and other musculoskeletal problems without surgical intervention and with lifestyle modification. For seniors with generalised musculoskeletal pain, he has developed a separate functional rehab programme called “FREE FROM PAIN” (aka Fear Reduction Exercise Early with Food from plants, Rest and relaxation, Organisation [family & friends] and Motivation [Ikigai] to help with Pain from Arthritis and to Increase Natural strength - https://www.freefrompain.org.uk/ ). “Free from pain” combines the knowledge from the blue zones with the fusion of three different exercise programmes including the Otago exercise programme. Mr. Ampat has written books, published in peer-reviewed medical journals and lectures both nationally and internationally. Outside work he enjoys time with his wife and two daughters. Mr. Ampat attends church regularly and occasionally preaches on Sundays. He derives his inspiration from his eldest daughter Talita who is profoundly handicapped and wheelchair-bound due to Cerebral Palsy.
