At Back to Back we regularly work with athletes who are professionals in a range of sports; rugby, touch rugby, football, hockey, climbers, triathletes, rowers (oarsmen and women) and gymnasts to name a few.
Osteopathy can be key in helping keep the body in the best shape possible, which is crucial for these sportspeople who are dependent on their body performing for them.
Have a read below about just a few of the athletes we are currently working with and do contact us if you would like to find out more.
Kenny Tete, right back, Fulham FC, Premier League Footballer
James Dodd has been working with Kenny Tete for some time now. Footballer Kenny is a right back for Fulham FC and initially came to James with persistent back pain. Within a couple of weeks, James managed to get Kenny pain-free and now sees Kenny for treatment and exercise management. This treatment has enabled Kenny to perform at the top of his game.
Team Excelsioar, Trans-Atlantic Row Team
Caroline, Rachel and Nicki are the three amazing ladies that make up Team Excelsioar. In December 2023, they will be rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge in support of The Dash Charity and Thames Hospice. James is working with all three team members and assessing them using 1080 Map system and then managing them with a progressive 3d exercise programme to help prepare their bodies for the endurance of this fantastic journey.
