Osteopathy & Sports Massage in Balham

Osteopaths treat muscle and joint pain anywhere in the body using a range of specialised hands-on techniques, including massage, joint manipulation, trigger-point therapy, stretching and exercise prescription. We adopt a holistic approach, applying the principle that a person's well-being depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues working smoothly together. We treat the whole body and not just the painful area, tackling the cause and not just the symptoms, and our overall aim is to restore the optimal functioning of the body and alleviate pain.

Who we treat

Runners

Sports people

Our priority is restore you to full physical health while also minimising time out from training and the impact on your fitness levels.

Mothers and babies

Osteopathy can help with many of these conditions by easing muscle tension and restoring movement to restricted joints.

At The Moving Body, we particularly enjoy working with older patients who often have a huge amount to gain from osteopathy.

Sitting for extended periods can damage the health of your muscles, joints and nerves...

Testimonials

Barry was a great help when my back and hip seized up after a 16 hour charity walk. He really helped release the tension and relieve pain. This was my second appointment and I would highly recommend The Moving Body.
