Unlock your Olympic potential: Osteopathy and your path to health goals

Published on: Tuesday 23rd July 2024

As we cheer for our favourite athletes in the upcoming Olympics, it's a perfect time to reflect on how these sporting legends achieve their incredible feats.

We all know how many hours of training, body conditioning and practice they put in to achieve their highest potential. But did you know that many of the top athletes and sporting champions have an additional weapon? Osteopathy!

So how did Osteopathy help them, and how could it help you?

Success stories from the field

Many athletes owe part of their success to osteopathy. For instance, renowned tennis player Andy Murray has significantly benefited from osteopathic care, enabling him to recover from injuries and enhance his on-court performance.

Serena Williams has used osteopaths to keep her in top form throughout her illustrious career.

Gold medallists and top prize winners Usain Bolt and Novak Djokovic have all credited osteopathy with helping them overcome injuries and improve their performances.

The benefits of osteopathy

Osteopathy works with the relationship between the body's structure and function, helping the body's own natural healing mechanism.

Your experienced Osteopath will focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing health issues through hands on therapy.

Incorporating osteopathy into daily life

While we might not be hitting Grand Slam finals or running 100-metre sprints in under 10 seconds, our health goals are just as important. Regular osteopathic treatments can help us address imbalances, pain, and restricted movement, allowing us to live healthier and more active lives.

Regular treatments: A key to success

For athletes, consistent osteopathic care can mean the difference between winning and losing.

For us, it means improved quality of life.

Osteopathy may help enhance flexibility, reduce pain and may even improve sleep patterns. Being in pain makes sleeping difficult and good sleep is crucial for achieving any health goal.

Regular osteopathic visits can help you stay on track. Your osteopath will offer you personalised advice and specific treatment that’s just right for you to support your health journey.

Just like Olympic athletes, you can achieve remarkable things with the right support. Consider integrating osteopathy into your own health routine and watch how it helps you unlock your full potential.

I have had several treatments with Steve over the years for neck pain, back pain and under active thyroid. Steve has natural healing hands as well as a bank of experience and knowledge, which enhance his effectiveness. He is a very skilled practitioner both sensitive and subtle with powerful results; I have completely recovered from these conditions.

I am just e-mailing you Stephen to let you know that my baby daughter’s tight tummy calmed down considerably after your treatment so thank you very much.

I thought the treatment for pain in my knee was excellent. I felt I was being considered as an individual as Stephen listened to everything I said and gave a treatment appropriate to my needs. His approach was non-invasive. I began to notice an improvement in my knee after a couple of days and the pain has not recurred. To me, it felt as if each treatment enabled my body to correct itself and rebalance.

Lara’s thoughtful, gentle, confident and knowledgeable approach results in the most expert therapeutic massage one could hope to receive. The outcome is therefore a very holistic one in which specific discomforts have been eased with and overall relaxation achieved at the same time.

Stephen has been my osteopath for many years and has helped me recover from several serious operations. The atmosphere in the clinic is so calm and relaxing, and Stephen is an absolute professional in everything he does. He truly has healing hands.

Just before Christmas, my back ‘went’. By ‘went’ I mean I could barely walk and had constant pain in my lower back and leg. I was off work and spent most of the time lying on the floor. I was treated by Stephen and Simon, both of whom have a professional but very calm manner – ideal for anyone who’s in a lot of pain. They identified muscle and sciatic nerve damage. They obviously knew what they were doing because the pain gradually started to ease, such that by the beginning of March I was back on the treadmill in the gym. Would I use SW19Osteopaths again? Definitely. Only this time I’d go sooner.

I was very pleased to have assistance from Holly Jordan when I had a very painful lower back recently. I found her diagnosis very reassuring; and the treatment recommended helpful. It was good that plenty of time - over an hour - was allowed for my first initial appointment, as it was good to feel I wasn't rushed and was listened to. I am back to normal health now but would return again, if I needed to. Many thanks!

I have been seeing Steve on and off for years. Every time I see him I feel as if I have been put back together. He’s an incredible osteopath. I highly recommend the practice because of their ethos and very high standard of treatment.

Claire, SW19

I am from Greece. I have a severe musculoskeletal problem affecting my upper and lower back. In my country, I have physical therapy sessions weekly for the past 30 years. I came to London to visit my daughter for 4 months. I had to find a therapist so as not to cease treatment for my back. I visited Simon after reading the reviews on the center’s website. Without any hesitation I want to say that I was ecstatic with the results of his work. Simon was able to meet all my needs based merely on my descriptions without even having to see X-rays of my back. He is incredibly nice, knowledgeable, motivated and friendly. I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart and I hope that he stays well and continues to offer his services to people in need for many many years to come.

I've been visiting the practice since February and have been seen by Yan-Kei. I'm just writing to leave a brief review of the practice and of her. The treatment I have received from Yan-Kei has benefited me greatly and I am improved in all aspects of life. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who feels any sense of discomfort and seeks to change their life for the better. Look forward to my next visit
