However, if you are unsure, we would recommend that you initially see one of our osteopaths who are skilled in assessing your whole body, making a specific working diagnosis and developing a treatment plan incorporating diverse treatment techniques tailored to your personal needs.

I had the most amazing session with Christoph, he got the the crux of my long-term back pain in a few minutes and his treatment and exercises have kept me pain free ever since. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Extremely professional and knowledgeable, a complete expert with a warm and friendly approach.

Christopher at Blackheath Sports clinic is the best osteopath I’ve ever been treated by.
My original complaint was an hip-outside leg- knee issue from running. I had pain running and pain just sitting. Christopher’s treatment of massage and needles worked immediately and with the exercises to do at home I noticed dramatic improvement quickly. That issue has now pretty much gone. I then returned to Christopher for a lower back complaint (I think caused by carrying heavy children on one side, but could have been weighted exercises being a bit off too). Again his combination treatment and clear

In April 2021, I had to take a month off of running due to lower back and knee pain, which has been a pattern for years even after seeking physio and help through my GP and MSK clinics previously. Fed up with it and wanting to really get on top of it I went to see Christoph in May for the first time. He has been my secret weapon ever since! In October 2021, at the London Marathon, I completed my 4th marathon in 21 days. Christoph has been instrumental in my rehab and injury prevention. Such a pleasure to work with, he'll do all he can to ensure you reach your goals. Thank you Christoph

Dr Christoph is a Genius! I've suffered with back pain since my pregnancy 4 years ago and couldn't see an end in the chronic pain. I had read so many amazing reviews about him that I decided to make an appointment. I am so glad I did! He instantly knew what was wrong and how to fix it. He was very detailed and knowledgeable. He was respectful and… dignified throughout the treatment. He even made me laugh on occasions! He used his 'magic hands' to massage and manipulate my back. He also used acupuncture which has left my back feeling the best in years! I have many exercises to do at home

I had issues with my back and my calf which I believed were linked. Both were tight and giving me discomfort preventing me from exercising. Christoph is a great listener and targeted the issues specifically with his treatment and advice. With his help I have returned to exercise and am putting in a routine to prevent the same issue occurring.

I had a pain on my hips that was bothering me for a long time. After several months trying to find out the problem with no improvements, Dr.Christoph found the problem in my first visit. Very caring and professional. I feel much better now and have a routine of home exercises to help with my symptoms. Definitely would recommend Dr.Christoph for everyone looking for an osteopath.
The best osteopath in London!

I would highly recommend Christoph. I saw him for the first time in May based on his outstanding google reviews as I had bad tennis/golf elbow and had a golf trip to Scotland planned where I needed to play 4 rounds in 4 days. I had 5 sessions with Christoph and my elbow improved dramatically and was able to go and play comfortably on my trip. His advice was pragmatic for my situation and his service was very professional. He saw me at short notice for my first appointment even though his diary was full. I agree with all the positive reviews on google and would have no hesitation in going back to

My 14 year old daughter has severe anxiety, PTSD and a phobia of any kind of healthcare. Her behaviour in healthcare settings is quite extreme and most people have no idea what to do in the face of her reactions. Christoph has been absolutely remarkable with her. I find it hard to put into words how exceptional he has been in finding ways to work with her fears and manage to not only treat her but get her excited to come back and see him. His approach to her problems (which affect the use of her hands) has been superb and he is clearly very good at what he does. However, that would not be possible

Best treatment, diagnosis, and medical advise you can get. Dr. Christoph it's is simply an outstanding professional and amazing human. I went to see him after struggling with severe neck and arm pain, to a point where the numbness didn't allow me feel my arm. After several visits to the GP, physiotherapy, and a neurologist, it was Dr. Christoph who… helped me with my diagnosis, exercises, and sessions.
I was his patient from July-October 2019. I ended my sessions since I left the UK, and my only regret is not being able to have more sessions with him!
I would recommend him without a doubt

I came to Christoph initially with persistent neck pain and tension headaches and then later with a sciatica flare up due to a herniated disc. He used a combination of osteopathy, massage and acupuncture at each session to treat my issues with great skill and kindness. I experienced a huge improvement right from the first session. He engages you in… all aspects of the treatment from explaining the musculoskeletal causes behind the problem you are presenting to how you will benefit from the treatment session and the exercises he demonstrates to be done at home. He followed up each session

I was very lucky that Christoph was participating in the same beach volleyball tournament as me when I sprained my ankle mid-game. He quickly and calmly assessed the injury and expertly taped my foot, which gave me the reassurance and support needed to be able to resume play and not forfeit the competition. Thank you!

Im new to the area and Christoph was excellent at communicating, arranging an appointment and has treated me for knee pain with acupuncture to keep me running. Great advise given from him with exercises to strengthen and improve my flexibility.

Excellent service. I went in following a nasty knee sprain while playing volleyball. Gave very helpful advice for recovery and I was able to get back on court swiftly.

Christoph, thank you for fixing my neck / shoulders. I cannot recommend Christoph enough if you are in pain and suffering. The more trust you put in him the better it is for you :) Thanks again, my daily life has improved dramatically and have considerably less physical pain in my neck. I Must keep up exercises / stretch to reenforce the good work.

The Best Osteopath in London!
I have been coming to Dr Christoph for 2 years now and I feel like a new person each time I leave his clinic. As an endurance athlete I often suffer from injuries in various places, including dislocated SI joint, hip problems and a dislocated ribs in a thoracic spine...
Dr Christoph has been able to treat every one of them, each time. He also offers acupuncture and his hands are truly magical. Always a positive attitude and a very pleasant atmosphere. This is a best place you can go to!
Very highly recommend!
