Sports Injuries

I  have a special interest in sports injuries, especially in athletics. I'm a member of the Osteopathic Sports Care Association and my experience in the sports field included two years working for the Portuguese Athletic Federation/race walking team where I treated and advised some of the Portuguese World class race walkers as well as some elite middle distance runners in my private practice.

My personal approach in the athletic field involves the rehabilitation of the whole musculoskeletal system, putting a great emphasis in the correction of muscle imbalances and the stabilisation of the pelvis.

I still enjoy race walking and being in contact with my old friends and people from that sport.

I offer you advice and treatment for all recent and long-standing problems.

Treatments of a wide range of conditions including:

  • Back Pain

  • Knee Pain

  • Hip Pain

  • Ankle and  Foot Problems

Rehabilitation ensuring return to full fitness and function, minimising the risk of re-injury.
Effective and timely treatment is essential in order to avoid long problems.
