Sports Therapy Greenwich, London

The Best Osteopath in London! I have been coming to Dr Christoph for over 7 years now and I feel like a new person each time I leave his clinic. As a retired endurance athlete I've often suffered from injuries in various places, including dislocated SI joint, hip problems and a dislocated ribs in a thoracic spine. Now 8 months post-partum, Dr Christoph was able to help my back pains after having a baby. Dr Christoph has been able to treat every one of my injuries, each time. He also offers acupuncture and his hands are truly magical. Always a positive attitude, extremely knowledgeable a very pleasant atmosphere. You will also be offered a list of exercises you can do to help your problems and maintain your mobility. This is a best place you can go to! Very highly recommend!

I am a tennis coach who suffered back pain for 6 long years. During that time, I agreed to everything the NHS suggested (X-ray, MRI, physio, pilates, acupuncture, TENS, pain management clinic, drugs, and epidural injection). Nothing worked. I then tried the private treatment, including three visits to an osteopath called Charles Reid in Bromley who I knew from my A level college. He couldn't help either. Then my back pain got a lot worse. I could barely walk and got sharp stabbing pain every time I coughed, sneezed or laughed (not that I had much to laugh about). Obviously I could no longer work as a tennis coach. I was wary of chiropractic because 20 years ago I was wrongly diagnosed by a chiropractor here in Orpington and received treatment which made my back problem at the time even worse. But I was desperate, and felt I had tried everything else apart from surgery - no way would I agree to that (which, ridiculously, is what the osteopath suggested btw). So I gave chiropractic another go. I chose the Chiropractic Health Centre because they seemed very professional, and also because JB was happy with the 3-year-old NHS X-Ray I showed him (another chiropractor in Orpington was insistent that I needed to pay him to do another more up-to-date X-ray which I objected too). After three sessions with JB, my back was less tense, so I felt that progress was being made. After 8 sessions in total, I could walk freely again (and the severe pain from coughing, sneezing, laughing had gone). I took his advice (walking every day, gentle exercises, etc), and started coaching again without pain. After enjoying one whole year of relief, I felt confident enough to start playing tennis again (again, completely pain-free). I believe in giving credit where credit is due, so I highly recommend JB and the Chiropractic Health Centre.

Over the years I have suffered from aching lower back pain, and shoulder pain. I have been wearing a shoulder support brace and support vest for many years. I cannot leave home without them. I then pulled a muscle in my back, so I finally went to get this all sorted out once and for all. I am seeing Lucy, this is my second visit, and I am already feeling the deference. Lucy identified the problem right away. I have lost strength in my lower back, and my core is very weak. Lucy is very warm and friendly; I feel very comfortable with her. she has explained in great detail why I have been wearing my support braces for so many years and has encouraged me to trust myself and to start believing that I will be ok without my support braces. I have not worn them for 3 days now, when I start to feel the shoulder pain, it reminds me to hold my core, and surprisingly enough the pain eases up. Since doing the specific exercises and practicing holding my core and controlling my breathing, I already feel better about myself. Thank you, Lucy.

Very prompt reply with appointment. Physio listened carefully to my history and took notice of what had helped me previously. Very pleased.

Very professional and super friendly. I've used their osteopathy services to treat my back pain several times — definitely highly recommended. Special thanks to Tom, Sofia, Chiara and Kemmy!
