David Isherwood BSc Hons Ost

David is a fully registered Osteopath with a special interest in Sports specific Injuries, Cranial Osteopathy and the treatment of babies and children. He is also a fully qualified Fitness and exercise consultant, having spent most of the 1980's working as a personal trainer with high level athletes, and those just wishing to get fit and healthy.

David began manual therapy and rehabilitation work after adding to his abilities by learning Sports massage with the prestigious London School of Sports Massage (LSSM).

Training with the American Olympic team Physiotherapist and Sports Masseurs helped develop a muscle balance, quality of muscle-joint function approach to therapy. Not content to stand still David went on to study for a BSc honours degree, full time at Osteopathy at the British School of Osteopathy (BSO). David now combines a unique approach to injuries.

Prevention of problems whilst addressing existing complaints is the key to David’s approach. A keen fitness enthusiast for many years (Weight lifting, Rugby Prop-Forward, Hill running and Cross Country Walking), at 55 years of age He can still be seen in the Health club, running and weight training twice weekly or walking around Richmond park for 2-3 hours.

David is well aware of what athletes require when injured, and the need to return to training as soon as possible. All aspects of patients lives are considered when analysing presenting complaints. To assist in this, full training and rehabilitation, programmes can be designed. Full biomechanical assessment of lower limb may be carried out and orthotic in-soles may be prescribed from the clinic. Referral to specialists are made when necessary.

Jamie Isherwood B Ost

I graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 2004 after successfully completing an enjoyable four year degree. The school helped me develop a solid understanding of the structure of the human body (anatomy), the way it works (bio-mechanics and physiology) and what happens when things go wrong (dysfunction and pathology).

Since qualifying I have practiced in Aberdeen and more locally in Earlsfield. I currently happily ply my trade here in Clapham and at the Putney Clinic.

I enjoy an active lifestyle in which I look forward to new and exciting challenges. I have played football and cricket to good standards and still play a dozen games of rugby every season. I also enjoy golf, rock climbing, jogging and playing squash. I have also recently taken up Brazilian Ju-Jitsu which I counter-act with regular Osteopathic treatment from colleagues!

Having spent over ten years in health and fitness clubs across SW London as a fitness coach, I have developed a strong understanding of sports specific exercises, rehabilitation exercises and corrective postural exercises. It still amazes me how a few seemingly simple tips can help people recover and stay injury free!

As an Osteopath, I am commited to providing not only good 'hands on' help, but also sound clinical advice and really helping patients understand the nature of their problems so that they can start to get back to normal as quickly as possible.
