Sports Therapy is a manual therapy of the musculo-skeletal system, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons using soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation and additional therapy equipment if necessary.
Our approach is to look and treat the body as a whole, not just the symptoms.

Consultation

Once a diagnosis has been made appropriate treatment and exercises will be given, a treatment plan will also be discussed with you to discuss how many sessions will be required to enable you to get back to your daily routine or sport.
If you run it would help us if you could bring along your trainers as this can help us in our assessment of specific injuries.
We will commence treatment on the first session, some people might experience a little discomfort after treatment. If this does occur do not worry, it will ease. If you are unsure please call us.

He was a Senior Clinical Tutor and lecturer at The British School of Osteopathy for many years. He founded the Reigate and Redhill Osteopathic Group and therefore acts as a regional representative to the profession's governing body, The General Osteopathic Council.

Through undergraduate and postgraduate study he has developed techniques to apply to many different problems including sports injuries, chronic pain and jaw problems. He has also undergone postgraduate study in cranio-sacral osteopathy, offering a very gentle approach to suitable issues.
