Anja Davidson
M.Ost , FAFS
Senior & Functional Osteopath
BUPA registered
Specialises in helping patients with headaches
Dance injuries specialist
Anja graduated with a master’s degree in osteopathy after five years of extensive training at the British School of Osteopathy, now University College of Osteopathy. She has been at Back to Back for over nine years and loves to work as part of the team, as well as running a successful clinic from home.
She also holds a sports injury and massage therapist diploma, having completed post-graduate courses in western medical acupuncture and cranial osteopathy. She is also gradually studying for an Advanced Nutritionist Diploma.
Anja’s original career as a professional dancer and dance instructor, with its numerous injuries, inspired her to work in healthcare. From personal experience she has a deeper understanding of not only what it feels like to be injured and in pain, but also the physiological issues that can occur with both acute and chronic injuries. She brings together this wealth of knowledge in her work with patients who vary from younger children to the elderly.
Anja believes in the freedom to move and that any individual at any age deserves the right to live their life to the fullest, free of pain. She helps her patients achieve this with appropriate advice that is unique to each individual and gives self-help exercises and ’homework’ as part of her management of injuries. She believes it is fundamental to allow her patients to understand their symptoms and helps them to provide relief and for their bodies to move to their full potential.
Originally from Denmark, Anja moved to London in 1993 and now lives in Surrey with her husband, two teenagers and their springer spaniel Charlie. Anja is never one to stop! She is always keeping herself busy with something, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, cycling, hiking or some other adventurous activity either up a mountain or out at sea. When at home, you would find her baking, gardening, sewing and most likely with a cup of tea in her hand – anything can be solved with a cup of tea!
Anja is a member of the General Osteopathic Council and the Institute of Osteopathy. She is also a registered BUPA provider.
