Based in Dartmouth Park, on the south east corner of Hampstead Heath in north London, we have a team of fully qualified, registered and insured male and female osteopaths and sports massage therapists. Established in 2006 by Gavin Burt, the Backs & Beyond Osteopathic Clinic is a centre for the treatment of conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, whiplash associated disorders, sports injuries, headaches and pain from arthritic changes. As well as our General Osteopathic Clinic, we run four other special interest clinics - a Running Injury Clinic, Knee pain clinic, Headache Clinic, and a Mother & Baby Clinic. Our specialist running clinic treats hundreds of runners each year from beginners to international athletes. With over 500 patient consultations each month at Backs & Beyond, thousands of patients have benefited from our treatment plans. We provide solid diagnosis and care to help you improve as quickly as possible. The majority of our new patients come to us by recommendation from existing patients that we have helped or are referred by their GP or health care providers. We are recognised by all the major insurance companies, including BUPA and AXA PPP.

As well as standing on its own as a therapy, we believe massage can be the perfect complementary therapy to osteopathy, especially when used regularly for people with complex and long-standing musculoskeletal conditions.

We offer two types of massage here at the clinic: Sports Massage and Remedial Massage. But how do you know which one to choose?

The answer is simple, Sports and Remedial massage are actually the same thing. There's no difference between the two!

Both are designed for the treatment and prevention of muscular injuries and tension.

Sports and Remedial massage work to alleviate the stress and tension that builds up in the body's soft tissue during physical activity, and can help prevent those niggling injuries that get in the way of performance and achievement.

You'd struggle to find any high-level athlete who doesn't get regular massages!

Massage is also brilliant for tackling areas that are sore, stressed, tense and painful, and it's not just for the physically active.

It's great for relief from the mental and physical stresses and strains of modern life, and can help you sleep better at night while giving you more energy during the day.

If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, please don't hesitate to give us a call at the clinic.

Yesterday we attended the London Knee Meeting🦵

We spent the day hearing about the latest developments in knee surgery.

We attended last year too, and it’s become an important fixture in my calendar.

Knee pain is a particular interest of our practice, and we think it’s important to understand what happens after a patient leaves my treatment room, including what surgical options exist, when they’re appropriate, and what recovery looks like. That helps us advise people honestly and refer on when it’s the right thing to do.

Always humbling to be reminded how much there is still to learn.

Thank you to the organisers and speakers for such a thoughtful programme.

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) running across the bottom of your foot, causing sharp stabbing pain near the heel.

But if you have this condition, you'll already know all about it and how painful it is.

There are treatments that you can get via your GP, but there is a non-invasive alternative, which is Shockwave Therapy.

As the seasons switch in the next few weeks and the weather gets a little colder, we (including me!) have a tendency to become more sedentary and to get out for exercise less.

However, it’s important to stay aware of this and keep moving, even if that looks slightly different.

Taking breaks from your desk to walk around and stretch, taking that extra flight of stairs, perhaps look at indoor sports and try something new.

The main thing is to keep moving! 🚶‍➡️🚶‍♀️‍➡️

Sometimes your body isn’t working quite as you’d like and needs a helping hand to get back to where you want it to be.

Osteopathy can do just that.

As osteopaths, we help to restore normal muscle and joint function, relieve pain and help you on your road to recovery.

We do this through a combination of movement, stretching, deep tissue massage, and muscle and joint manipulation.

We may also use dry needling, acupuncture and specific exercises.

If you would like to book our services or have a chat with the team, please contact us here at the practice. I’ll pop the details in the comments below.

In a few weeks' time, Backs and Beyond will be attending the London Knee Meeting.

It’s an event that takes place annually, bringing together orthopaedic surgeons and knee experts from around the world.

Up to this point at least, we have been one of the few osteopaths that attend, but we find that it really keeps us up to date with the latest developments in knee injury and treatment.

Will you be going along?

Let’s connect here if so.

I look forward to giving you an update on what I learn.

The cost of treatments may have crossed your mind if you are thinking of visiting an osteopath.

We have a dedicated page on our website that explains how that works with us here at Backs & Beyond.

Also, did you know we’ll always let you know the cost of your treatment in advance and provide an estimate of how many sessions we think you may need.

Our treatments are covered by most major health insurers.

For BUPA members, our Clinical Director bills directly; so please obtain an authorisation code before booking.

For all other providers, after paying for your appointment, we will provide an invoice for you to submit for reimbursement.

In the meantime, here is the website page on our pricing... 👇

Did you know that we offer reflexology here at Backs & Beyond Limited?

Orthopaedic Reflexology is for anyone with painful feet, from hammer toes to bunions to plantar fasciitis.

Particularly useful for those spending long periods on their feet, such as teachers and runners!

Classic Reflexology involves gentle pressure to the feet, working on areas of tension on the sole of the foot, to encourage the body to achieve a state of homeostasis and an improved state of wellbeing.

It seems to be particularly helpful for people suffering from digestive issues, stress, and to help support the immune system.

To find out more or book your session, why not head over to our website, linked in the comments.
