I first saw Christoph early this year (2019) and now visit as and when required, either for follow up treatments or as recently if I suffer from a new injury. Pain in my knees had led me to believe that I was suffering from overuse and that I could not run again. Christoph very quickly dissipated this idea and assured me that strength and stretch exercises of the knees and knee-related areas would allow me to run again. Within a short time I was able to get back ‘on the road’. Further issues (hamstring, posture, neck…) have came up since and Christoph again quickly identified the core of the problems and recommended the appropriate exercises, which I am duly following as they do work. What I much value in each consultation is that not only is Christoph very competent in his interpretation and treatment of injuries but he also - importantly - listens to his patient’s specific problems and has a calm reassuring way to deal with his patients, explaining the causes of the injury, suggesting customised treatments, inspiring confidence all the while. His follow up emails detailing the home exercises to be done are also a great reminder of what was achieved in each session.Highly recommended. More...

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 with an email to ask if I had any questions on the session and to remind me of how to perform the exercises. Christoph embodies consummate professional and therapeutic skills – he makes you feel as if you are the only client and approaches your condition as if it is the most interesting problem he has to resolve that day – even though he has probably seen many neck and back problems in his practice!. I would unreservedly recommend him. More...

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! More...

I had chronic pain due relating to my hip rotator muscles, erector spinal lumbar muscles and sacro illiac joint - and couldn't sit down for longer than 3 minutes. Then a friend recommended Christoph to me. The results were amazing. He relieved the problem and guided me on the best strategies for improving my overall health which includes stretches and exercises. Christoph is a cut above other Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists (I have been to many) and therefore I would highly recommend him. More...

Outstanding service - I couldn't have asked for better treatment. I saw Christoph twice for painful back spasms following a lower back injury. Christoph fitted me in at short notice, quickly identified the problem and treated me with a combination of techniques including acupuncture. Following treatment I had no further back spasms, my back felt so much more mobile and I am now well on the way to recovery. I really appreciated that after each appointment Christoph took the time to check on my progress and send written details of exercises and stretches.Christoph is clearly a very knowledgeable, talented and skilful practitioner who definitely has an intuitive 'magic' touch. He also has a friendly, calm and professional manner which inspires confidence. More...

Dr Christoph is the first Osteopath I have worked with. I have a long running injury as a runner. He was recommended to be my another runner. Christoph is warm, friendly, patient and very accomodating; not to mention funny too. He makes you feel relaxed and works on a personalised basis. I cannot thank him enough for the support and treatment he has offered me so far. I have a long term injury (IT Band) and I know I will be a regular customer. I have already recommended him to a running friend of mine already. More...

I was recommended Christoph by a friend and I've been seeing him as needed for a year or so now. By far the best Osteopath in the area, not just in terms of his treatment which is exceptional and always immediately effective but his follow-up and aftercare is fantastic as well, offering advice exercises and written instructions via mail as I had a lot of homework to do! Love the ability to book online, the last appointment I made was while still sitting in the gym having "tweaked" my back (again!). In a nutshell I can't recommend highly enough More...

I would recommend Christoph to all people who suffer from sports injuries. Always calm and professional, he knows how keen sport people are to go back in shape and get back to practicing as soon as they can. His advices will always keep that in mind. He helped me with my shoulder and calf issue and not only the treatments were always effective but the aftercare was great, gave me many exercises and was always there to answer my questions!

Christoph has helped me address cycling-related muscle injuries that I’d been suffering with for a while. I’d even been to other cycle physio specialists who hadn’t solved it but Christoph immediately diagnosed the root cause of the issue. Regular sessions, including acupuncture have really helped and he has helped me implement a stretching routine to prevent further injury. Highly recommend. More...

I found Christoph while visiting London and needing some treatment for a pulled patella tendon injury. I was staying near Blackheath so went along to see Christoph. The treatment was excellent, this was my first visit to an Osteopath but I have experienced many sports doctors, physios and masseurs previously. Christoph is extremely friendly but always professional. He quickly diagnosed where the tightness was in my body that was causing the referred knee pain. He then did some excellent work to release that tightness, also had some acupuncture treatment and he showed me some follow up stretches. If I lived in London I would go regularly without doubt. I have no hesitation to refer Christop, he has excellent knowledge and is a charming person as well. More...

I am so happy I have found Christoph. My right leg is slightly shorter than my left, but enough to cause problems in my hips and lower back. Also tension in my shoulders and back from stress and desk working have started making standing for more than half an hour uncomfortable. I'm 30 years old and shouldn't be feeling like I'm 80! So I thought I would finally invest in myself, seeing as you only have 1 body. I have been for 2 sessions so far and look forward to continuing my treatment there. Christoph is such a lovely person too, and I feel very comfortable with him treating me. His knowledgeand holistic approach are excellent and he is just a lovely, genuine guy who understand what each individual needs. More...
