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 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 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'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

Yan Kei is an excellent osteopath. She help me to recover from my issues with Achilles tendons and back problem. Highly recommended.

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.

Laura D

Yan Kei treated my baby son. I felt completely confident that he was in safe hands. Yan Kei sorted out his stiff neck, and he is clearly more comfortable now. Thank you so much

Hannah Colliers Wood

I damaged my knee in a motorcycle accident and have had trouble with it ever since. I work in the building trade and have to keep fit and active. Stephen has managed my knee and other associated problems, and without his skill I would not have been able to continue with my job. He has even enabled me to go skiing, although this was against his better judgment! If you are looking for an experienced osteopath, then you need look no further; his skill is unrivalled.

Dave D, Wallington

Over the last 6 months Lara has effectively used the Emmett Technique to eliminate my persistent lower back pain as well as foot and heel pain. She has also been able to relieve stress and tension from my neck and shoulders. The relief, as a result of her treatments, is immediate and long-lasting. I would highly recommend her treatments.
