Sports Therapy with Osteon@H2 Part II

Giles                                                                           Jimmy

Following our introduction to Osteon@H2 we caught up with the team behind Osteon, Jimmy and Giles, for a chat about their history and hopes for the future.

What is your background?

Jimmy: My background is from years of running up and down football pitches and the injuries that come with it.  Largely over the last few years cycling has become my preferred exercise and completing Duathlons (not triathlons – I don’t fancy swimming in the London docks).  I completed a degree in Sports Science moving in to the therapy aspect of Sports and Remedial Massage. 

Giles: I am  a little different, having played rugby league at a national level for a number of years and having suffered almost every injury known to man, and received some very shoddy treatments I knew I could do better. So I did, and over the years qualified in personal training, strength and conditioning, sports massage, medical acupuncture and manipulative therapy. I love to combine different therapies in all sessions to get the best possible results in the quickest time.

Jimmy: We have been lucky enough to bring on board some fantastic therapists, we have James the Osteopath who specialises in not just back pain but loves dealing with runners and cyclists problems, and then Stephanie the Australian physiotherapist, who is a London netballer and has a great sports background which she brings into her treatments.

Why did partnering with H2 Bike Run appeal to you?

Jimmy: Osteon and H2 are a great fit, we were really excited by the new concept and how it answered a need for all those commuters and cyclists fed up of the lack of facilities that London had to offer them. H2 are going to be a centre of excellence and that’s exactly what we at Osteon want to achieve and why it works so well, providing great service, facilities and treatments at realistic prices.

What is a typical Osteon client?

Giles: That’s a tough one! Being honest we have no typical client; we have such a good range of treatments and therapists that we pride ourselves in being able to work with everyone,

Are all your client’s sporting injuries?

Jimmy: Not at all, we can help with a whole host of conditions and problems, that’s why we always recommend that you come in for a free health check to have a chat with a therapist about the condition specific to you. We then can point you in the right direction to the therapy that best suits.

Do you do alternative treatments?

Jimmy: Absolutely, we wanted to give the members of H2 access to the very best in complimentary health care, we have Osteopathy, Physiotherapy and Sports Massage for all those aches and pains, injuries and rehab, then Podiatry for foot conditions, knee pain and bespoke custom made orthotics, and even Modern and Chinese Acupuncture.

Giles: So no matter whether where you have back pain, neck pain, a need to de-stress or reset your Chi we can help.
