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.

Following a breech caesarean birth, Max developed a tendency to turn his head to one side, and he developed a visibly flattened side of head. We were fortunate enough to know Steve's expertise in paediatric osteopathy and it was clear to see how passionate and informed he was regarding treatments and possible outcomes. Throughout the non-invasive treatment we felt totally at ease with Steve, as did Max who fell asleep! I would highly recommend Steve. We are extremely grateful for his time, care and attention to detail.

Having suffered from a shoulder injury since last September and following unsuccessful physio, I decided to try SW19 Osteopath and Yan-Kei has been amazing. Not only has my mobility greatly improved as has my posture and knee pain, I am no longer in pain. Amazing at how effective this has been for me in such a short period of time, and I now am able to return back to sports. Yan-Kei explains what she is doing and definitely is invested in my well-being and although I am so much better, I will make this as part of my self care and ensure that I visit her every 5 – 6 weeks to re-balance myself. I highly recommend Yan-Kei; I truly feel she has worked wonders for me.

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.

Our 10 week old baby was so tetchy and uncomfortable. He was crying all the time and writhing about seemingly with ongoing pain due to his bubbling tummy. Stephen Beaver held him gently and I don't know what he did, but after a few treatments there are no more issues, and he is a settled happy chap. Stephen also noticed the baby's head was tuning always to one side, and this has also been resolved with treatment. Great result. Thanks so much

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

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.

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 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 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.

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.
