How quickly can I get back to my sport?

It depends on the injury, but early assessment almost always means a faster return. We'll give you a realistic timeline at your first appointment.

Can I keep training while I have treatment?

Usually yes, with modifications. We'll tell you exactly what to avoid and what's safe to continue.

Do you give rehab exercises?

Yes — every patient leaves with a short, specific exercise plan tailored to your sport and goals.

Do you treat older athletes and weekend warriors?

Yes — the majority of our sports patients are amateur players, runners and cyclists rather than elite athletes.

Do you accept private health insurance?

Yes — we accept self-paying patients and most major insurers.

Symptoms we see at our Sidcup clinic

If any of these sound familiar, an assessment with one of our registered osteopaths is a sensible first step.

Golf injuries

Lower back, hip, shoulder and elbow pain that flares up on the course or range.

Rugby injuries

Contact and non-contact injuries, from neck strains to hamstrings and shoulders.

Football injuries

Groin strains, hamstrings, calves and post-match stiffness.

Runners & joggers

Knee pain, shin splints, ITB and Achilles issues from training load.

Cyclists

Neck, upper back and knee pain from long hours in the saddle.

Repetitive strains

Recurring niggles that flare with training — we help you break the cycle.

Our approach

We treat the injury and look up and down the chain — because a sore knee often starts at the hip, and a golfer's back often blames a stiff mid-back or hip. That's the difference between settling symptoms and fixing the cause.

Hands-on treatment is paired with a clear return-to-sport plan and specific rehab exercises tailored to your sport. We're straight with you about what to stop, what to keep doing and when to expect to be back.

If a scan, GP or sports-medicine specialist is the right next step, we'll say so up front.
