Central London Osteopathy & Sports Injury Clinic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Just had my first ever visit to an osteopath with Hibah and it was great. I had a sudden pain started in the morning and also another problem occuring for a while. She helped me for both within a single appointment.
Negative experience: I attended an appointment here on friday and came to these reviews to find out I may have been a victum of an abusive crime I didnt know was committed. The fact this place is still open and didn’t tell me or contact me when this was discovered is also distressing. I am now contacting friends who I recommended this place to in order to alert them.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic job Chiara is great .and wife swears by david. Brilliant receptionist as well for last minute changes
Fantastic experience: My first visit ever to an osteopath, for what turned out to be a strained back muscle. Hibak was amazing in her handling, explaining each step amd giving me advice for exercices to do day to day, as well as on what to do after the consultation to reduce the risk of pain. I felt noticeably better the next day and significantly one day after. Ill definitely return if the need arises.
Fantastic experience: Came in after a few days of strong back and rib pain. GP/physios not able to help David Canevaro was able to fix the problem after 1 session Thanks a lot !
Fantastic experience: Last month I sprained my ankle running for the bus. A friend of mine recommended David at the London Osteopathy and Pilates Clinic. David was incredible in treating my ankle and providing me with a rehabilitation program of home exercises.
Fantastic experience: Absolute best sports massage! Been coming here for 4 years and they’ve fixed more things than the NHS. They are proper experts and can isolate and work on every single muscle group. Rita and Coco are just super stars!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going there for a while, same my husband. Rita is amazing! Whatever pain , she always manage to fix it. She helped me with a frozen shoulder, muscle pains, back pains. She is the best! Super friendly and professional I highly recommend her!
Negative experience: WARNING: I was a regular customer but the osteopath at this clinic filmed me without my knowledge. Stay away from this clinic for your own safety
Fantastic experience: I have been attending this clinic for several years now, and I must say I get what I pay for. My chronic back and hip pain triggers occasionally and its nice to think that I can just book and run to the clinic. All of the osteopaths, whoever i am booked to are all professionals, and expert in their own field.I always feel relieved, relaxed and happy coming out from the clinic each time. Thank you, and i'm sure to come back if my back/hip triggers again.
Negative experience: Absolutely disgusted with this clinic. I saw Torben for many years and now find out he had been recording female patients. This clinic never alerted us about the situation, from what I can see online have not given any statements on this man's arrest and conviction and when asked on the phone, they said he retired. This clinic should close and they should let all clients know that if you are female and have been there in the last 10 years, you are likely a victim of this man's depravity.
Fantastic experience: This was a my first visit to the clinic, I went to see David, he’s was an experienced Osteopath. I went to the clinic for shoulder treatment, was intense and professional! Price per half hour is reasonable. With consultation! It’s recommended for A few visits!!
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for years as I used to work locally. Now, when I'm in London, I come especially for Coco's efficient and invigorating () deep tissue massage. Easy to find same-day bookings online if you need urgent attention. Easy to get to, its in a good location.
Fantastic experience: I’ve struggled with neck and back issues my entire life and have seen countless massage therapists and osteopaths over the years, but Coco is by far the most effective and skilled practitioner I’ve come across. After seeing her, I feel more open and at ease than I ever have! Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Martin Buschman is the best masseur in London (and I have seen a lot). With remarkable intuition and precision, he knew exactly where and how to apply his masterful deep tissue massage. Feels like he unlocked something in my lower back, it feels different, more free, unstuck. I felt strong, revitalised. Always kind and thoughtful and keen to share tips about nutrition, training, rehabilitation and wellbeing if you're interested. Can’t recommend him enough.
Thank you for your nice review David.
We are so happy that you find your sessions so useful with Martin.
We find it very important that a massage therapist is actually able to give physical therapy rather than just a soothing rub down.
Our clients come most often with an issue they want to have sorted although our massage therapists are also able to give a soothing, relaxing massage if requested.

Fantastic experience: I've been getting Osteopathy treatment from Diluka Perera for a few years now and I have to say, she truly is a fantastic Osteopath. My wife has also been a patient of Diluka's for over 10 years and we're both very grateful for the way she always knows how best to treat our ailments and injuries. One of the kindest and most conscientious practitioners I've come across, Diluka is also really efficient, always trying to reduce the need for further appointments. Would also highly recommend Coco for her deep tissue massages that are second to none, and Jenny manages the clinic so efficiently always making us feel welcome.
Fantastic experience: As someone with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, I spend a lot of time in pain and experience frequent subluxations resulting from the simplest everyday movements like sleeping or getting out of bed. At one point last year I was in desperate amounts of pain - my neck is an especially unstable area, and not only did I have subluxed vertebrae; the misalignment was causing nerve damage in the forms of heat and a prickling sensation. I found Fabio because his website bio said he was a specialist in the head and neck, and from the get go I felt like I was finally being seen by someone who understood the specific type of pain I deal with and valued how much I strive to understand my own conditions, which is really not something that as a disabled person you get a lot in the medical community. He claimed not to know what Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was, which totally surprised me because he dealt with my symptoms with so much expertise, care and professionalism already (and he’s taught ME many things about hypermobility that I had no idea about!) - but when I went back for my second session he told me he’d researched EDS and read about the different types! I can’t stress enough how uncommon that thoughtfulness, humility and independent will to learn more is in a medical (or medical-adjacent) professional! I was so touched, but more importantly I felt like I was in safe hands. The neck is THE most delicate area of the body, and adjustments should only be done by professionals like Fabio who strive to be the best and back their pre-existing wealth of knowledge and practice with a keenness to support their patients as best as possible. I obviously don’t love having multiple subluxations to deal with every time, but I truly love my fortnightly appointments with Fabio because on top of leaving me feeling brand new we also get on really well; he’s just delightful to talk to. I have recommended him to other people with EDS in search of an osteopath. Many people fear adjustments because of the cases of spinal cord injuries that sometimes come up in the news, but I feel beyond confident recommending Fabio to other people in my predicament. It’s not worth living in pain! My quality of life under his care is genuinely so much better. Josefina
Fantastic experience: Diluka is a brilliant osteopath and I’m so grateful I’ve found her. It’s clear she has years of experience, but also intuitively knows exactly what to do which makes me feel very safe. It’s always easy to get an appointment and the centre is run brilliantly by Jenny!
Fantastic experience: Having come here for well over a decade for many different back issues I can always reply upon any members of the brilliant team there to successfully solve any issues I may have. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I had a great sports massage with Stephanie. Her knowledge and expertise really helped me hit a new PB in my marathon training. She's super friendly and creates a really comfortable vibe. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Fabio and Jenny who are amazing at what they do Jenny is highly organised she is always able to accommodate my request in a promptly manner, she is friendly engaging and positive, she creates such a welcoming atmosphere each time I visit, thank you for keeping the place very tidy I really notice that when your there. I will always choose to see Fabio’s as his service and knowledge is exceptional, he is a highly motivated individual who will strive to provide the best treatment plan for you he really takes the time to discuss follow up and aftercare plan.
Fantastic experience: Over a couple years I have been here many times, visiting two osteopaths, and always happy. Both Canevaro and Perera have been great. David helped me initially with a damaged rotator cuff and he understands with practicality why an aging man wants to continue martial arts. When he was booked out as I had a mid-back spasm later, Diluka was able to quickly identify it was my pelvis and neck causing issues and she quickly shut down the pain and has been getting me going again. Reception is always friendly and helpful with Jenny going the extra mile. Also, several practitioners here take Bupa insurance, which isn't always the case - so that's great for my employee health plan.
Fantastic experience: I can really recommend Jenny and Diluka at Central London Clinic - the service has been great and the care they put into patient wellbeing, scheduling and support has been excellent. You are in safe hands with them both.
Fantastic experience: I had sustained an injury in the gym 7 weeks ago. I had pulled my hamstring and glutes but it seemed the pain travelled all the way to my lower back, hips and I was unable to sleep. I saw Torben today, what a magician and the testimonies are accurate. Within 10 minutes he had cracked my neck left, right and centre and aligned my body. I felt immediate relief. I could walk a lot better and posture seemed a lot better. What a knowledgeable, kind and professional man. He takes the time to understand you and ask questions about any other health issues you have. Torben is here to make you feel better and not to make money. I have spent 7 useless weeks of seeing the physio and doing lots of pointless exercises that I wish I would have booked Torben as soon as possible. Thank you for seeing me today. A special thanks to Joy at the reception who was very welcoming and helpful. The clinic is only about 8 minutes walk from Old Street station. Clementina Ugah
Thank you so much for your amazing review, Clementina.
We are so pleased that you came here on a personal recommendation and enjoyed your osteopathy treatment.
You are right, we do ask for any issues that might not even be directly related to what brings you in, because when you are here, we ca just as well deal with the rest too.
Thank you for also mentioning our receptionists - they are really the backbone of our clinic.
All the best, Torben, Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic.
Fantastic experience: The sports massage was excellent! My back has been feeling stiff from a month’s travelling and I felt instant relief after the session. Stephanie also gave me some tips on how to stretch my shoulders and lower back.
Dear Kim.
Thank you for your nice words about your sports massage therapist, Stephanie.
Being a former Olympic competitor in athletic, she has got an excellent background in stretching exercises...
We hope to see you again soon.

Fantastic experience: I was cured by Mr Torben who was amazing. I had an injury on my spinal cord (slip disk) with severe pain. After several sessions he put me back to my normal life and since then I had no more problems. I could not be more grateful to Mr Torben for his professional work. Really changed my life.
Thank you so much for your review, Gaia.
I am so happy that you are still feeling good after so many years.
All the best, Torben,
Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic
Fantastic experience: Top quality practitioners, good location. Pricing is competitive but not cheap but you get what you pay for. You can get holistic adjustments or strong sports massages. You’ll need multiple sessions and lifestyle changes if you want to be pain free. You should also couple adjustments with gym workouts and constant daily exercises. Took me 2 years but I’m currently pain free with their help!
Thank you do much for your nice review and advice.
You are right, although the car majority of people will get a good relief already from the first treatment, most people will need follow ups, and some chronic or complicated issues will require infrequent treatments over a longer period of time.
We also encourage change of postures, exercise etc. for people to actively getting better themselves.

Fantastic experience: I can speak nothing but high praise of Torben and the staff at the clinic! He's been helping me massively with my plantar fascitis, going from barely being able to walk to going back to my favourite exercises over a few months. He's also improved my sleep with regular adjustments and is always a friendly character! I would go anyway for a regular adjustment :)
Thank you so much for your nice words, Francesca.
It is a pleasure to looking after you and your foot.
Plantar fasciitis can be so painful and relentless as you might feel it all the time when you are on your feet.
Luckily they usually respond well to manual treatment of the feet and legs with osteopathy or physiotherapy often we will work on your back and posture as well.
We are used to dealing with elite level sports people, and this is a problem we often encounter.
All the best, Torben, Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic.
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting the clinic for more years than I care to remember. Whenever I need fixing, it’s my first port of call, and always guaranteed exceptional treatment and care. I genuinely cannot recommend the clinic highly enough. It deserves 6 stars
Thank you Paul, for your nice words!
You are right, it's been so many years, where you once in a while pop up from nowhere with interesting issues from pushing yourself to the limit in your physical activities.
But it's good to see that you are in such a good shape as always.

Fantastic experience: Torben Hersborg Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic I have no hesitation in recommending Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic. I having been seeing Torben Hersbourg regularly over the past few months for problems with my knee. Torben’s kind, warm, empathetic and gentle personality combined with his positive and caring attitude is a top combination. His treatment involves body manipulations which -rather like visit dentist- has the potential to be alarming and off putting but his straightforward and calm manner inspires trust and confidence. After each session my body feels lighter. Torben cares about my wellbeing and progress and always requests me to report back to him personally by phone after a session. I particularly appreciate that Torben being an exceptionally fit man in his 60’s -still competing in judo at international level- gives it as read, that I as an older person, who has always been fit, active and enjoying good health need not settle for anything less than a complete recovery.
Thank you so much for your really nice words, John.
I am very happy that our progress has been good.
Occasionally, I reach out with a call or a text, but it should generally not be expected of me.
Interestingly, you mentioned me still competing at international level in judo.
Apart from it being my passion, it gives me the physique and coordination needed to do a precise, effective manipulation and altogether being able to do a physical job.
I try to use my own fitness regime as an inspiration for others to push their fitness a bit too, as the fitter you are, the better your body is protected.
All the best, Torben,
Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic.

I appreciate the holistic approach they take, integrating various techniques to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of my issues.

Fantastic experience: I had a session with Manmohan at this clinic last week while on holiday in London. I was feeling quite ill and Manmohan was absolutely amazing in listening carefully to my ailments and acting quickly, with a mix of craniosacral and classic osteopathy. So many thanks. The front desk staff was very welcoming and nice, gave me clear and helpful information.
Thank you, Vero, for your nice words about your osteopath.
He is a very caring osteopath, and very experienced in dealing with most musculo-skeletal problems.
We hope that next time you are in London and see us, it will be for a check up rather than an emergency.
All the best, Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic.
Fantastic experience: I was really suffering from neck and back pain and I went for treatments with Torben over the last 2 months and my conditions have almost gone. Finally! Highly recommended. On top of that Torben is very friendly and funny and he is calm and secure doing his job. The clinic is very clean and bright and the ladies at the desk are really helpful and sweet, they all really make you feel welcome.
Hi Georgia.
Thank you so much for your nice words about your osteopathy treatments with Torben at the Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic.
We are very delighted that you have had so much improvement in your neck and back pains following the last two months of osteopathy.
Also thank you for mentioning our receptionists, who are very important to us, as they are the first point of contact for our clients, who often are in pain and may be nervous too.
They keep everything running smoothly and calm.
Osteopathy for back pains often include some adjustments that are usually completely pain-free but makes a spectacular clicking sound as the stiff joint frees up.
This is when most people feel an instant relief.
It usually allows the muscles around the affected joint to relax.
The osteopath can also use soft tissue massage and stretches, some use dry needling.
Your osteopath often follows up with exercises and advice on posture etc.
They try to explain everything as you go on, but please also ask questions about your treatment, their advices and anything relevant.
All the best, Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic.
Fantastic experience: Torben has helped me enormously over the past two and half years. He has taken the trouble to visit me at my home. I am 89 years of age and his treatment has extended my mobility. He is very caring and conscientious.
Thank you very much for you nice words, Elizabeth.
It is always s pleasure to come and visit you after a day in the clinic.
I really enjoy our chats as well as looking after you.
Apart from the pleasure of seeing the improvements during each visit, I get a lot of inspiration from your lifelong experience.
We do the occasional home visit when people for a reason or other cannot make it to our clinic.
Sometimes it is for an acute lower back pain, where people literally are lying on the floor.
Sometimes it is when people are too busy to come to the clinic.
But we need to plan accordingly to the schedule of the practitioner as well, as a home visit usually takes a fair bit of time due to the travel.
For a home visit, please enquire through the reception and then you will be contacted personally by the practitioner to organise the specifics.
All the best, Torben, Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic
Fantastic experience: There are no words to describe just how fantastic and magical this place is : I suffer from neck and back problems and have seen Torben on more than one occasion - I could not recommend him enough! The first time I came I was in horrendous pain and unable to lift my arm or move my neck much but after the first session I felt a great relief in that area and the pain was gone so fast I couldn’t believe it… I have seen many osteopaths and chiropractors in London but this is now the only place for me… I also never experienced anything but the best care from everyone there
Thank you so much for your nice review, Mia.
We are so happy that you get good relief and recovery for you locked neck and back.
Following is a little general about what osteopaths treat:
Most people will know that osteopaths deal with neck and back pains.
Not everybody know that we also deal with all sorts of ailments, such as shoulder injuries, sprained knees and ankles, tennis elbows, RSI and wrist injuries - literally anything to do with joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments anywhere in the body.
Many headaches and migraine symptoms are caused by neck tension, which usually can be freed up quite easily.
Osteopathy also deals with visceral problems although it is advisable to check with a GP if there is any concerns.
All osteopaths are individuals though and have their preferred ways of working and their own skill sets, so usually you will have a lot of joy with your first choice of osteopath, but if it doesn't work completely to your satisfaction, please tell them, so they can change techniques or try another one for a different approach altogether.

Fantastic experience: Thank you, Torben, for fixing my knee pains, which I have had for 25 years. The osteopathy treatment and personal care is top class. He makes me feel comfortable. The whole clinic staff are friendly and helpful.
Hi Andrea.
Thank you so much for your nice words.
We are very happy to get you back on your feet (knees).
Many people just think about osteopaths treating back problems, but it covers literally the whole body.
Osteoarthritis is a wear and tear joint condition, which causes the smooth cartilage lining the joint to wear away.
Damage to this lining causes friction, making movement more difficult and leading to pain, stiffness and inflammation.
It is like not having oil in your car.
Over time, the cartilage erodes and bony growths develop, which makes these symptoms worse.
We will release muscle tension around the affected joint, to improve the range of movement and encourage better joint health by helping blood flow to and from the area.
This will reduce pain and inflammation and also increasing flexibility.
We will also work to help the function of related areas of the body, to make sure that movement and loading is balanced as evenly as possible.
The most talked about joints are the knees and hips are the most commonly affected joints, and are often the most debilitating, most often requiring replacements.
Please always try osteopathy or physiotherapy prior to surgery, as often it can help a lot.
Arthritis can happen in most joints – and we can usually help the other joints too, whether it is a thumb, neck, elbow, back, wrist etc.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy that my friends recommended Torben for osteopathic treatment. In just a few treatments, I can move much better than I have been able to for years.
We are so happy to being able to looking after you Cecilia.
We have done a few treatments close together and now making the intervals longer.
When patients have chronic back problems, we tend to treat with short interval at first to speed up the recovery and also to stabilise the effect of the treatments.
When the pains and discomforts have reduced to a manageable level, we can increase the interval between treatments and focus on the long term underlying stiffnesses and strains.
Exercises are also an important part of the recovery tools plus advice on sitting posture, lifting techniques, mattresses, pillows (after all, we spend approximately a third of our lives sleeping).
We might also get into advice on diet and supplements (such as vitamins, minerals etc.).

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Rita for sports massages for a few years now, she is the best in the business and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Amazing technique, pressure and I always leave feeling amazing. I recently bought a voucher for a friend to see Rita for a sports massage and she texted me afterwards: “Ok - obsessed with Rita. That was incredible. Probably one of the best sport massages I’ve ever had. I feel I can tackle a 24 hour flight now! I was so tight and she knew exactly. Thank you.”. I have got all my friends and family onto her and everyone rates her 10/10. Highly recommend :)
Hi Rose.
Thank you so much for recommending Rita to everybody.
Rita has got many years of experience, and used to looking after International athletes and weightlifters, and she has got the strength to go deep and the touch to go soft - but always the feel of what exactly each muscle needs.
A good therapeutic massage relies on the sports massage therapist being able to assess the state of the muscles in question and focus on the right techniques and pressure.
Each individual muscle injury requires an individual approach.
Our sports massage therapists treat people with muscle problems and don't do the common 3 strokes on this leg and three strokes on the other leg unless people ask for a relaxing beauty massage
We wish you all the best and looking forward to seeing you again.

Fantastic experience: Torben is still one and only that osteopath that will fix you in no time, and Alex, therapy she provides is beyond words! Thank you all for putting me together and getting smile back on my face. You guys are amazing!
Thank you so much for your review of Alex and Torben.
In particular for mentioning our shiatsu practitioner, Alex, who specialises in the energy side of the human body.
For those, who don't know much about how Alex uses her shiatsu:
Shiatsu is one of the most exceptionally relaxing treatments available today.
It’s a form of bodywork that can bring about an incredible feeling of release from both mental and physical pain or tension.
SHIATSU, literally meaning finger pressure, was developed in Japan and is based on traditional Chinese medicine.
The holistic full shiatsu body treatment combines the use of acupressure points and massage. Shiatsu shares the same philosophy and aims as acupuncture and is the massage part of this oriental treatment, hence not using needles.
Shiatsu influences and balances the chi (energy which flows through your body).
The shiatsu therapist in London, Alex, works up and down the meridians feeling for excesses and deficiencies of energy.
The shiatsu treatment is here performed on a treatment bench, although some places performed on the floor.
During your first shiatsu appointment an assessment will be made in order to tailor the treatment to your needs.
A shiatsu treatment can induce a deep state of relaxation and will certainly energise you.
Shiatsu can be used to treat specific problems such as back pain, insomnia, migraine, stiffness, sports injuries, digestive problems, menstrual problems, and depression.
You can expect an emotional release during your shiatsu treatment followed by an extraordinary state of relaxation and wellbeing.
This emotional release can include crying like a baby, as locked-up emotions get released - there is no physical pain or discomfort during her sessions.
This release is followed by a feeling of lightness, which is otherwise rarely experienced.

Positive experience: Called 30min before appointment to advise I had realised the appointment was earlier than I had in mind so I would not make it, this of course entirely my fault for not checking, however even after apologising the receptionist instead of being more customer service centric and giving me my options decided to complain how disrespectful I was by calling last minute and giving me a bad attitude over the phone as the "therapists blame them when cancellations happen", also how "you're going to be charged you know". Really shows a bad internal culture, shame as probably the therapist would have been great, they were recommended by a family member but after this I'm put off, I have of course paid their late fee, to me is not about the money but the service which was non existent in this occasion. Review Update: Received a call from the therapist to apologise, was also invited back to the clinic, thanks for reaching out.
Thank you for your updated review and for trying to visit us in the first place.
We are sorry if our receptionist was harsh to you.
As the principal, I was told about the situation.
I have to be honest, that it is similar to if you miss your flight, you also miss the money that you paid for it.
As the practitioner was fully booked and we had to turn patients away, an important treatment slot was actually wasted because you were not organised.
One of the potential patients that we could not fit in was in a lot of pain and really needed to be seen, so we hope that you realise that our receipting was upset.
We hope you are well and managed to find some relief elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Coco (sports massages) and Fabio (Osteopathy) for several months now and they are both amazing. As a regular gym goer who cross trains and who is not always the best at the recovery part, the two of them have done an incredible job in making sure that any niggles I have picked up along the way do not advance and recover quickly. In the last fews weeks ahead of my first powerlifting competition I hurt my back quite badly and right up to a few days before I feared I would have to withdraw, but with a combination of their treatments and following their advice I was able to compete without pain or discomfort and even hit a PB on my deadlift. Coco and Fabio really know their stuff, experts and great at what they do, also extremely friendly and easy to talk. Highly recommend.
Congratulations with your new PB, David!
Many come and see us for their injuries and others come to get help to performing better in competition.
We are happy that we could do a double for you.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience meeting with Ange. He’s very easy to talk to and quickly understood my symptoms. After careful consideration, he was able to provide the required treatment and exercises helping me feel more like myself again. Highly recommended! I have also seen Fabio and Martin for separate issues who have also been excellent.
Than you do much for your nice words about our practitioners.

Fantastic experience: This is the best best ever Osteopath ever. I myself go Tobin, he is the best ever. He’s blessed with this amazing gift to heal all issues. I’ve been registered with this clinic over 6 yrs. He treated myself when I could not stand up straight, I was screaming in pain when I crawled in with Tobin’s help to get through is door. Honestly after 15 mins I was able to touch my toes and I walked out as if nothing had ever happened. He treated my daughters feet as her toes lock and he gently pulled each toe and you could hear the clicks, it did not hurt her but what difference she felt after the pain and discomfort at and she could wear the shoes and trainers. She liked to this day. She’s been absolutely fine we’re just going back for an MOT . I told Tobin and I’m sure he remembers this, that he has to God as he laughed. I know he isn’t, God , but I was just so amazed & shocked how he he able to assessed and release my back issue Tobin is a calm beautiful person who said it’s a gift he had as a young child. I’ve sent sooo many people to him. The reception team are lovely. There are other great osteopaths that work there but for me I don’t go to nobody else besides Tobin.
Thank you sooo much for your lovely words, Caroline! It is always a pleasure to see you - and thank you so much for all your referrals.
I will keep doing my best for your family and friends,

Fantastic experience: I booked an appointment with Andreas following being involved in a very minor car accident and having neck/shoulder pain as a result of this. I’ve had four sessions so far and the pain has improved. I feel completely at ease during the appointments and Andreas takes the time to explain what he’s doing and how it should help. Would highly recommend this clinic and Andreas.
Thank you do much for your nice review of Andreas, your osteopath in London.
Var accidents often cause a whiplash that can be a major impact to the spine as the head gets strongly lashed backwards and forwards.
Sometimes it causes arthritis if left without treatment so we are happy that you are better already.

Had a constant, sharp, intense, excruciating pain in my lower back the last 2 days which left me unable to lie down, sleep or breathe without pain. Booked an appointment online this morning at 3.30am for 10.30am today and within twenty minutes the amazing Andreas had worked his magic and eased everything. By the time I got home I was finally able to lie down. Absolutely fantastic. I first came here in 1999 (and 2018) and saw the wonderful Torben. The service and treatment is still as outstanding as it was 25 years ago and I can't recommend the place enough.
Thank you so much for your review of your experience with Andreas.
And thank you for remembering us 25 years after you first came to us.
We are happy that you got better so quickly and that you managed to get a morning slot with short notice through our online booking.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend. Went twice to get an injured shoulder looked at. I was treated by Ange who was very thorough and reassuring, really relieved my soreness, and gave me good advice about that and another issue I had with my Achilles. I will definitely be visiting again the next time I hurt myself.
Ange is both an osteopath and a physiotherapist, so he is able to combine the two therapies for the best results. We are so happy that you have enjoyed your care and treatment so far.

Fantastic experience: What can I say about David’s approach to treating injuries. This osteopath is a genius. He’s developed this great fusion between osteopathy and Pilates, he calls it osteolates. I have been treated by osteopaths around the whole world but David’s approach is amazing. David offered me first class treatment at the clinic and put together an exercise plan that really made the difference. David sent me really useful videos, pictures of rehabilitation exercises to help me recover from my injury. I am so happy to have found him:)
Thank you so much, Elissa, for your nice review of your osteopath, David.
It is actually a great approach he has developed and we are happy that it also works for you.

Fantastic experience: Great service, many thanks to Torben and his magic hands. I had been suffering with a bad back, which prevented me from doing a couple of physical exercises and I was in some discomfort with back pain for several weeks. Following treatment from Torben, I was immediately realigned! My posture had been corrected, and with it my strength returned, I was no longer restricted in movement and my suffering with back pain was gone. Excellent service!
Hi Julian.
It was really nice to see you yesterday - and thank you for review number 400!
We are so grateful for all the effort everybody have put in to tell about their experiences at our clinic, our osteopaths, physiotherapists, avuncular, sports massage practitioners, shiatsu, tui na etc.
Have a great weekend, Julian.

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic and I am so grateful I have found it. I have suffered from lower back pain for years and after seeing Torben at the clinic for just a few appointments a few years ago I am now completely fine. I could hardly walk from pain when I got in for my first appointment and half an hour later I walked out feeling I had the mobility of a ballerina. He is now treating me for a knee injury and again, after just the first appointment, I am feeling so much better. I would recommend this place to everyone!
That is really good to hear.
Thank you for your nice words, Eva!
All the best Torben,
Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic
Fantastic experience: Was initially recommended to see Torben for a recovering fracture ankle, and he worked some kind of magic. Since then he's worked on some other issues I have and has been successful where other therapists have not. I highly recommend Torben if you are in need of pain relief.
Thank you for your nice words Kate!
Our osteopaths literally deal with all sorts of injuries and issues of the whole musculoskeletal system.
Keep well and see you next time.

Fantastic experience: I came to the clinic as recommended by a trusted friend. I suffered from back and neck pain for over 6 months and can’t seem to get better with physiotherapy. I didn’t want to go to any osteopathy clinic as it is spine related problem. I received the treatment from amazing and brilliant Torben Hersborg who has treated lots of world champions and sportsmen. After the first treatment I felt million times better, and kept improving after only 2-3 sessions with him. It helps me so much to get on with my life, and I feel liberated from the pain and constant discomfort. I would strongly recommend to any friends who have back and neck pain problems. It works immediately and you will feel the difference straight away. I am very grateful to amazing Torben Hersborg and his clinic.
Thank you so much for your review, Amy!
And thank you for already sending your friends to us.
We are so happy that your back is finally getting better and hope it will stay good.

Fantastic experience: I got hit by a car! And hurt my shoulder. I had a long standing problem with that shoulder for about 13 years. Every now and then I would overtrain (which would not take much overtraining) and then I would have to cease my activities for weeks or even months. Falling on that shoulder aggravated the issue and I finally decided to seek help with a professional who would not just tell me to do an MRI and then not see anything serious in the results. Ange was that professional! He took care of my shoulder using various methods and techniques, taught me how to treat my shoulder, and my body overall, without making it fail periodically and showed me effective exercises so that I could quickly and properly strengthen my shoulder and get fully back on track with my training ASAP. Ange saved me from months of not training and UNwellbeing! Thank you so much, Ange! Now I know that I don't have to just wait if I have any musculoskeletal issue. There are plenty of things I could do to accelerate the recovery. Our sessions were awesome and I enjoyed our conversations! I'd also like to wholeheartedly thank Andreas and Coco for fixing my back and chest pain! I first came to the clinic with my rhomboid muscle pain and was referred to Andreas. I had too much tension in that area and with the little stretching that I did it could not keep up with my training schedule. He did the "magic" (over several sessions) and the pain went away. He also pointed out the patterns of my life that are contributing to the development of the tension in that area and when I follow his recommendations the pain does not appear. When I do not follow them I come to Andreas again and he resets my back. However, last time I really messed things up and went one step further to get sports massage from Coco! That time I messed up my right chest muscle as well. Coco's treatment made me feel like I have a new set of back and chest muscles. Thank you all, you wonderful healers!
Thank you so much for your big effort in writing your review for your physiotherapist, Ange!
But most important is that you finally did something about your old old injury - and we hope everybody who reads your review will see that even if injuries can be helped with the right treatment and care.
Ange is one of the few physiotherapists in England who is also a registered osteopath so he can combine the two sets of skills in his treatment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been having lower back problems on and off since my younger days playing sports and finally decided to go ahead and set an appointment with Torben, and just after my 1st treatment I can honestly say I already felt relief and improvement, definitely will be back for more treatment. Torben was very professional and knowledgeable that you feel comfortable the whole treatment. I highly recommend Torben and Central London Osteopathy to everyone.
Thank you so much Randolf.
It was great to see you and looking forward to see you when you're next in London.
Have a nice trip back home.

Fantastic experience: Once again Coco did her magic. Already feel so much better! The receptionist on duty was really helpful and a great customer service! The website however needs a complete revamp with better user experience and interface. It feels it is stuck in the 80s, with clashing colours and fonts making it hard to read and navigate. It does a disservice to the clinic! A more slick webpage with better functionality would help tremendously.
Thank you so much for your review and advice.
We are so happy that you enjoy coming here (despite the website...)
The website was actually made by the principal osteopath who thought that all the other clinic websites all look the same and that we should have something less boring, more colourful and lively to reflect how we are.
But it might have gone a little overboard...

Fantastic experience: Superb osteopathy practice. Chiara got to the source of a problem that has bothered me for years and her support and expertise keeps me well and improving. Jenny and the reception team are unfailingly warm and helpful. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Caring professionals who know what they’re doing! I’ve been a patient at this clinic since 2002 and no matter where I live in London I’ll always make the journey for treatment! From Torben to Fabio, Chiara and Diluka everyone I’ve seen leaves me with an assurance that I am in the best of hands!
Thank you for your nice words about your osteopaths here.
It has always been a pleasure to look after you whenever you have some issues or for a check up.

Fantastic experience: After years of useless therapies in other structures. I found you thanks to a friend, and now I've been seeing Fabio Basile since months now, I use to go there every time my lower back pain comes back, and every time he manages to make it disappear in a couple of sessions!! Furthermore the rest of the staff is super kind! I don't know what I would do without you!! GRAZIE MILLE!!
Thank you so much,Ciro, for your review of your osteopath, Fabio.

Fantastic experience: Torben saw me for an emergency appointment (on Boxing Day!) when I woke up with a lot of back pain and limited mobility. Helping me regularly over the following weeks, I quickly recovered and he is now helping me with other ailments! His swift and effective treatment was a huge relief for me and am incredibly grateful for the care and support he has provided. Would recommend to anyone!
Thank you Lucy for your nice words.

Fantastic experience: I’m a regular to see Robert G and after 20 years of back issues, he’s found the perfect balance of treatment for me to keep my back in the best shape its ever been and, most importantly, with zero pain. Everyone is great there, and Jenny on the front desk is always so welcoming. I can’t recommend this place enough.
Thank you so much for your nice review Olly.
Rob has been with us for about 20 years now and is one of the most experienced physiotherapists in London.
He is very much hands on and uses adjustments like an osteopath, acupuncture, applied kinesiology and craniosacral techniques which makes him a very holistic practitioner.

Fantastic experience: I have been treated by Chiara for the past months and I can confidently say that she is amazing at her job. She is highly competent and goes beyond to make sure she is giving you the best service and tips to tackle your specific issue.

I highly suggest this clinic as a reliable source of competent treatment.

Fantastic experience: Having treatment for the past few months with Alex Evans has been great. Alex is such an intuitive practitioner. She has a profound understanding of body/mind, and is an expert therapist, drawing from a range of treatments including shiatsu, acupressure and cranial. Highly recommended!
Alex has been with us for over 20 years... for god reasons.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Fabio for lower back problems and he’s been absolutely great at both treating any immediate pain and guiding me with a long term plan. He really takes care of his patients in a more holistic way rather than just treating the single symptom. He’s provided me with good recommendations for a physio to help with the strengthening side. I’ve had experience in the past with other osteopaths who have not been able to provide any physical relief or reassurance that I can be helped. The team at central osteopathy are very friendly and I wouldn’t go to any other osteopath now!
Thank you very much, Aarti, for your nice review of your osteopath, Fabio and colleagues in our clinic!
We put a lot of periode into giving the best osteopathic treatment af possible and giving the best experience as possible.

Fantastic experience: Jenny at the reception desk is amazing, efficient and always accommodating! She works wonders and move mountains to get you sorted:-). Susana, the physio, is in one word a magician! I always feel energised and pain less walking away:-). I have started seeing her after I suffered from sciatica, but since then (five years ago) I have been seeing her regularly every so three weeks, so that she can keep me in shape and sort any potential problem before it even starts:-). She just looks at you and knows instantly what has been happening to your body:-). She is simply amazing!! Oh, and when you go see her - she likes a good chocolate:-)).
Thank you for your nice words, Tereza.
You are right, your physiotherapist, Susana, is a real magician and she has been with us for over 25 years!

Fantastic experience: In January 2023 I started seeing Ange for high levels of lower back pain. Not only was Ange compassionate, he was professional, kind and very knowledgeable about physiology. He gave me targeted treatment and exercises to continue with at home and due to his expertise my recovery is now complete. Thank you Ange, I am so grateful for what you've done, I can't thank you enough. I have already recommended Ange and the clinic in general to friends and colleagues and I will continue to do so. Also thank you to receptionist staff who are friendly, welcoming and professional. I should also give 5 stars and say a huge thank you to Martin Buschman who gave me an amazing sports massage and relieved my pain from some very tense muscles!
Thank you for your nice words about your physiotherapy treatment from Ange - we are so happy that you are getting on really well - and thank you for also recommending your friends.
Ange is one of the few practitioners who have a degree in both physiotherapy and Osteopathy (the latter in the process of being recognised in the UK) - but you can already now benefit from the combination of his skills.
Fantastic experience: This clinic, and Torben specifically, was recommended to after dealing with a year-long piriformis issue. After two sessions with Torben, he discovered problems with my back and misalignment, made multiple adjustments, and I am now almost completely pain-free for the first time in a year. I cannot recommended Torben enough for anyone struggling with recurring pains that couldn't be corrected by other osteos or physios. Thanks to Torben, I am now back running as well as I ever have for a long time.
Thank you so much for your review, Timothy!
We are very happy that you are getting on so well and grateful for you spreading the word about Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic and Torben in particular.
Fantastic experience: I saw Ange, who completely relieved my pain in 4 sessions. He listened carefully to my description, asked follow up questions to quickly pinpoint the area. He explained the physiology as he went, which demonstrated how thoughtful he was being in the treatment and his expert knowledge in the field. His bedside manor was exceptional and professional, preparing me for when I might feel something, and asking my how I was doing continuously. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Ange!
Thank you for your nice words about your physiotherapist, Ange.
He has been in the clinic on and off for many years in-between doing further studying.
We have always kept his room free instead of getting another practitioner in for the reasons that you so well described.

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, one of the top healing experiences of my life. Torben is THE osteopath to know and try, not only in London but in the World. He is not only a knowledgable, skilled and talented practitioner, but a gentle wise spirit. I have also had sessions with Sifu, the acupuncturist, who is again one of the best experiences i have had, that really helped me release what no longer serves me, and realign my back and whole bodymind. I have also had 2 sessions with Alexandra Evans who really helped me release alot of the past hurt i was holding onto in my body. I cried for more than 40 mins. It was cathartic and catalytic. Torben's daughter is also training to become an osteopath following the footsteps of her dad. Reception is also very friendly and helpful. Usually it is Joy, or Ralph, or Carolina who answer the phone and politely and kindly greet you at the door. Do not think about it, BOOK now and thank yourself later. Well worth the money. Invest in your wellbeing.
Thank you Azure for your recommendation of our little clinic.
I think you have explained the importance we put into working as a proper team.
Osteopathy and physiotherapy are the "backbones" of Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic but we have quite a few therapies that compliment really well.
Alexandra, who has worked in our clinic for over 20 years uses shiatsu for chronic issues and often those that have previous emotions connected to their physical issues - but please be aware that although her treatments are very gentle the effect can be overwhelming.
Sifu (meaning Master in Chinese) has worked with us for well over 15 years and is also unique in his approach using a system that goes back thousands of years to improve the circulation of blood and energy in the body to enable it to heal itself.
We are so pleased that you managed to combine the different therapies to get the best results.
Fantastic experience: I came to the Central London Osteopathy & Sports Injury Clinic to address sharp shooting pains down my back and leg. 5 short visits, each spaced a bit further apart in time, has resolved the issue for me. The clinic staff are friendly, professional, and know what they are doing - highly recommended.
Thank you for your nice words about your osteopath treatment at Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic.
We are so delighted that your shooting pains are much better.
Fantastic experience: I came in to the clinic to see first Andreas and then Ange for a foot injury. I REALLY lucked out finding these wonderful people and receiving their support through this process. Over the past 3 months, they have helped me increase my body awareness significantly, educated me on my physiology, and taught me to listen to my body and set appropriate goals to stay injury free. All of this with a compassionate, tailored approach! I really cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Ange and Andreas for all that you do!
Thank you Rachel for your lovely review of our physiotherapist, Ange and osteopath, Andreas.
We are so happy that they have helped you so much.

Fantastic experience: I decided to turn to a physiotherapy after suffering for months of lower back pain. I had an appointment in the beginning of Dec 22 with Ange. He was very professional, polite and knowledgeable. I felt an immediate improvement and relief after the appointment. The pain magically disappeared and hasn’t returned since. I can’t stop wondering how such a stubborn pain that persisted for months had gone just after one session with Ange. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend the clinic.
Thank you for your nice review Miroslava.
We are so happy that your are feeling much better.
Our physiotherapist, Ange is also a qualified osteopath in France and we can't wait for him to get his title accepted in UK as he manages to combine his two educations with great success.

Fantastic experience: I started suffering from sciatica pain not long after giving birth. As I moved away from East London a few years ago, I decided to visit a local osteopath hoping they would help. However, after attending a couple of sessions there, the pain increased significantly to a point where I could not walk nor sleep. I called the London Osteopathy Clinic and asked to see Torben - who helped me several years ago with similar issue - and was able to get an appointment quickly. Torben is a miracle worker. In a few sessions, he was able to diagnose and treat the pain (SI join pain) and I was able to walk again without crutches after a week. I cannot thank him enough and won't ever hesitate to call again if I feel any pain. This practice is excellent and worth the travel. I highly recommend it and will never go anywhere else (lesson learnt!). Thank you!
Thank you for your nice words, Jessie!
I am flattered that you did the travel to come back to see me.
I am so glad that you could drop your crutches so quickly but luckily a S/I joint problem often responds well to manipulation.
Keep well and all the best Torben,

Fantastic experience: Torben is my first choice for any physical injury. My son badly sprained his ankle on exercise in the military, I took him to see Torben after having appointments with other physios and he fixed it first time and my son had instant relief. Torben is first class which is why he's so many people's go to man when you desperately need treatment.
Thank you for your nice words.
It was great to are you guys again after such a long time.
Luckily it seemed to be a little misalignment of the ankle bone that we could put into place quite easily.
I am sure he will will got on very well in the marines.

Fantastic experience: I started to see Fabio for my lower back pain a couple of months ago, and he is honestly a miracle worker. After 20 years of back pain, I am now pretty much pain free, and he is really friendly and kind too and explains everything very well. I have already recommended him to some friends, and will continue to do so! The receptionist is also really lovely and friendly, can highly recommend this clinic - the best!!
Thank you for your nice review, Vanessa.

Fantastic experience: I am so upset at the amount of money I have spent on Chiropractors and Osteopaths. I should have listened to my brother and booked time in with Torben years ago. He is thorough, attentive and doesn’t waste time. Thank you Torben and I’ll be seeing you again real soon!! Don’t delay - make YOUR appointment today!
Thank you for your sweet review, Seline.
Your brother and I go back many years ago I am really happy that he finally managed to drag you in.
I am so glad that you feel the difference already after our first session today.

Fantastic experience: Recommended by a friend, after trying other avenues to fix my increasing lower back pain. Amazing results, after one session Torben unravelled all the knock-on problems, knee, neck, hips, spine, as well as sorting my lower back. I have been in constant pain for 5 months and even unable to swing my leg over my bike without wincing. Thanks to two sessions with Torben, who assessed the problem immediately, I'm now much more mobile and almost as good as new! at 50+ I thought this might not be possible. Now I'm able to swim, cycle and return to ballet classes pain free. Looking forward to session No.3 in a month's time, as I'm much improved after each visit.
Thank you for your nice words Sarah!
It is a pleasure working with you and I am looking forward to seeing you next month to make it even better.

Fantastic experience: Fabio, Fabio, Fabio! I wish I had stumbled across this guy earlier! I've been suffering a lot of pain for the past 9 to 12 months, I had physio sessions, chiropractors, and nothing of progress... I had 2 Sessions with Fabio and it literally fells like I've been given new legs! I could not recommend highly enough, and definitely will be back.
Hi Yuri.

Fantastic experience: I suffered from migraine over the weekend due to extreme tension in my upper back and neck. I got an appointment directly on the following Monday with Andreas, who managed to release most of the tension in the first session - and the last bits during a second session two days later. During the sessions he explained what he was doing and why, which I found extremely interesting. I would definitely recommend him!
Thank you for your nice words, Kai - and thank you for using us!
Andreas who is an enthusiastic osteopath and also loves treating sports injuries is very happy to have met you.
Neck problems very often is the cause of headaches so our osteopaths and physiotherapists have got a lot of experience in helping them with gently freeing up the neck and advising how to avoid them coming back, so we how this is the last you feel from these.

Fantastic experience: Ange was incredibly observant, attentive and helpful when I attended at central London oesteopathy recently. I booked my first session when experiencing high levels of pain and I left with such noticeable improvement which only increased during the days that followed. Ange made sure to see me within a few days to check in on my recovery and his treatment was very targeted and helped massively once again. Over the course of just three appointments, I am so impressed at how much my back has improved and how Ange kept me calm and at ease throughout.
Thank you, Lucy, for writing this nice review of your physiotherapist, Ange.
Ange had in fact also qualified as an osteopath in France and is now going through the registration process in England., so he mixed the two therapies to great effect.
Back pains can really be bad and affect your life.
Luckily it is often mainly the case of freeing up done sick joints.
Working from home in a poor chair, not getting out and move about, bending wrongly or doing a wrong lift are some of the causes of back pains that require treatment.

Fantastic experience: Amazing service! I am pregnant and woke up with terrible burning pain in my pelvis. My midwife recommended me to take pain killers, which I didn’t want to take. And my doula told me to go to osteopath. So a friend recommended me this clinic. And they booked me in same day few hours later. Came in with terrible pain, couldnt walk properly, couldn’t sit, couldn’t bend my leg. Torben did few magic movements - and NO WAY - everything was fixed! I can’t believe I suffered for 3 weeks of pain when it could be done much earlier! Thank you again! Amazing service, fast and very helpful! Life changer
It was great to meet you Ekaterina.
During pregnancy your pelvic ligaments go slack so the pelvis can easier expand during birth.
That unfortunately makes it more unstable so it can get twisted and move wrongly causing extreme pain even.
Luckily it is often possible to correct with some gentle osteopathic manipulation.
All the best Torben
Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic
Fantastic experience: Life changing!! That may seem overboard but it’s really not. I saw Torben on Monday as I have been suffering with chronic neck pain, continuous and sometimes debilitating headaches. I couldn’t get through a week without having headaches every other day if not for a few a consecutive days. I work as a sports therapist so these issues were starting to take their toll in my work life and home life. I need to be fit and able for my job (and life!) and I was starting to really struggle, to the point I’d be in tears a lot of the time from discomfort and pain. All I can now say is, the tears have been from absolute relief! I haven’t had one headache since I visited Torben and it’s been nearly a week. Not even the heat / sun has triggered my headaches, I’ve been able to treat my own clients and not go home in pain myself! Although I have no headaches or neck pain, I have another session booked with Torben and I can’t wait. I seriously can’t put into words how highly I recommend him!!! Thank you so much Torben.
Thank you for your detailed review, Aishling.
It was a pleasure to meet you and next time will get you even better!
So many headaches are caused by neck issues and respond well to osteopathic treatment.
Looking forward to see you again on Monday.
All the best Torben,
Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic.
Fantastic experience: I normally don't write reviews but after I was treated by the osteopath Torben Hersborg, I felt compelled to write something to share my extremely positive experience. I was initially treated by another osteopath but after the first session, I started suffering from extreme pains, headaches, nausea and lack of appetite. I was ready to go to A&C as the osteopath I was treated by could not be contacted and it was New Year's eve. Luckily enough for me the Central London Osteopathy and Sports Clinic was open and that day I had my first session with Torben. Immediately after that all the symptoms caused by treatment by the previous osteopath started disappearing and this way I managed to celebrate the New Year like a normal human being! I continued been treated by Torben and after a few sessions my initial symptoms started disappearing. As I had no prior experience with osteopathy, at first I thought that every qualified osteopath would do the job but I was wrong. I found out the hard way that unless the osteopath has a huge experience knowledge, talent and truly caring about the patient, there is a high probability that the outcome could be devastating. Torben is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and has the ability to evaluate one's body condition and weaknesses at a glance. This way he tailors his treatment around each individual's needs. His movements are fast, confident and always effective and knows exactly where to press and at what strength. He truly cares about people and can be easily contacted in case of emergency. Reception at the clinic are very helpful and in general their ethos is very positive, friendly, helpful and flexible. Thank you very very much!
Thank you so much for this long review.
We are honoured to look after such a nice guy and you fully deserve the best!
I am sure that your other osteopath would have been able to fix you up again if the clinic didn't close down for the Christmas period
All osteopaths go through a vigorous training.
With anything physical whether it's training or treatment the body can react in different ways at first.
Obviously we are different in approaches and how we do it so sometimes you need to try different ones to find the one that suits you best.
All the best Torben

Fantastic experience: Torben was recommended by a good friend of mine. He has a vast amount of experience and is intuitively intelligent when it comes to treating the body. I would definitely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Torben more. I was in and out of A&E for a month with horrible pain and numbness down my right side, barely able to walk for weeks without help, and the doctors I saw had no clue what was wrong. After a few sessions with Torben I'm running again completely pain free!
Thank you for your nice words Tahani.
it is a pleasure to help you.
Often when normal medical examination do not show any obvious problems it is good news.
That could mean that there is no structural damage but merely functional disturbances that could be helped with osteopathic corrections.

Fantastic experience: A dear friend recommended I should use Central London Osteopathy for issues I was experiencing on/off with sciatica over the years, which was triggered recently. I made an appointment last week Thursday online and was able to see Daniel Collis, the following day. I was so impressed with the way in which he was able to diagnose my back issues, in a kind,friendly and down to earth manner. I now feel so much more informed about what I need to do based on his treatment plan and left feeling pain free! I would thoroughly recommend Daniel as a professional practitioner if you want to get back on track !!
Thank you for your nice words Laura.
We are very happy that you got better so quickly.
It is true our online booking is very convenient and you can book whenever it suits you.
We are so pleased that you met Daniel who is in our opinion a great osteopath with a great personality.

Fantastic experience: David Canevaro fixed in 5 minutes what other therapists couldn't do in 5 years !! Expert treatment and a pleasure to deal with. I also saw Coco for a Sports Massage which was extremely effective. I highly recommend this centre and it's therapists.
Wooow!
This is a wonderful review.
Thank you!
We are really happy that you finally got some relief.
David is also a Pilates instructor so he combines his osteopathy with Pilates exercises to maximise the treatment effect.
He has around 20 years of experience.
Coco has been with us for about 15 years and she is herself a competitive BJJ fighter so she understands the difference between a relaxing massage and one to help muscular injuries and performance enhancement.
Fantastic experience: Dan came highly recommended to me and I was able to make an appointment on the same day. I had this headache coming all the way up from my neck which felt really stiff and painful, also pain radiated down my back. Probably due to my poor posture at work but I just could not get rid of the pain and discomfort. Dan sorted me out in two appointments. My neck mobility was back after first appointment, headache completely gone the next day. He gave me few exercises I could do while sitting in the office etc. This made a positive difference as well. Dan is really amazing, easy going and friendly and as an osteopath 5 stars! I've seen osteopaths in the past but whatever relief from my pain I had afterwards, it lasted few hours only. Seeing him allowed me to avoid taking painkillers and that is a huge plus for me! Would definitely recommend!
Thank you for telling about your osteopathy experience with Daniel.
So many headaches are related to neck tension and neck problems but many don't realise this and just take painkillers to relieve their headache.
We often see headaches improve instantly with the neck being adjusted.
Kristina, we are so happy that you are feeling good again.

Fantastic experience: Admittedly, the idea of visiting chiropractors and osteopaths makes me nervous. My first question for Torben was if he'd ever paralized anyone.. Obviously his answer was No. After maybe 10 minutes, my mind is changed. The immediate difference was very shocking, and not only am I not paralized, but my neck and shoulders move better than they have in a long while.
Thank you for your review and it was great to meet you.
I am glad that you highlight that you were a bit nervous before the treatment but ended up enjoying it.
It happens that people are nervous when about to have a physical treatment by someone you have not met before.

Fantastic experience: Daniel is fantastic! I've been coming to see him for the last 6 months and it's been a great experience. He takes everything in to consideration when treating you and takes a detailed history. He also remembers all of this information each time, even with months between appointments. I cant' recommend him enough for how skilled, professional and friendly he is. He will put you at ease straight away!
Thank you Rachel.
We are so happy that you are better and that you recommend Daniel.
It's true he is literally boosting with positive energy and really wants to get people better with a combination of osteopathy and advice.
All the very best, Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic.
Fantastic experience: Torben is a genius. I’m a lifelong martial artist with all the bumps and bruises to prove it. Torben is a recent find through a recommendation from a friend and he is absolutely first class. I have had all types of physio, massage and alternate treatments to fix issues and Torben’s methods have had unbelievable success for me. He is first class, do not hesitate to visit him. Oss.
Thank you for your nice review
Being an elite judo player myself I know where you are coming from and the reason I became an osteopath was that I was not happy myself with treatments for my own injuries and uninterested practitioners when I was young.

Fantastic experience: I came into see Torben to find some relief from the aches and pains of my scoliosis. Already after the first session, my back felt a lot better and my strength in my legs was restored. I am currently undergoing a few more sessions in fairly quick succession to maintain the improvements gained. I can only highly recommend the Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic. Very knowledgeable and very professional.
Thank you for your nice words Maya.
I am so happy that you were sent to me by a spinal surgeon who is a great fan of osteopathy.
It looks like there will even be more improvements ahead.

Fantastic experience: My fiancé was in extreme pain from a lower back injury on a weekend trip to London. He had been typically told by an NHS GP to dose up on extremely strong painkillers that had horrible side effects and ‘see how it goes’ without proper diagnosis. Nothing was touching the pain. Being far from home (Teesside) and in desperation for some help, a google of osteopaths in London and one quick call to Torben’s clinic later my financé Jason was diagnosed within 5 minutes of arrival and being clicked and cracked by the absolute gentleman (and wizard!) that is Torben. He managed to squeeze in 4 sessions for Jason in two days to help him, even coming in early on one day. The improvement is utterly remarkable and I can’t quite believe it! It’s no wonder his patient list includes top international and national athletes. Torben’s google reviews speak volumes and I am very pleased to add to his 5* rating. The cost was VERY reasonable for such an outstanding clinician. Torben, you are a star! Thank you so much for your help.
Thank you for your nice words.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
I find that when there is an absolute urgency in getting people better it is possible with very frequent treatments which I mainly use for elite athletes who injured themselves during competition and need to be ready for next round.
I hope to see you when you are next in London.

Fantastic experience: As a personal trainer, I’m glad to have met Fabio! We have worked together over the past few years to help clients achieve pain-free results with a combo of rehab and strength training. Fabio is an amazing professional and we’re now great friends as well.
You push them... we fix them...
Thank you Felix for working closely with our sports osteopath, Fabio.
When people train, it is a fine balance between maximal progress and straining a bit.

Fantastic experience: Went to see Torben because of back pain, and he was amazing, no more back pain and I can even touch my toes which I could never done before. Very friendly, made me feel at ease, couldn't recommend it more. I'm seeing again next week. 5*
Thank you Manuel for your nice words.
It is a pleasure to meet you and I hope you will get even better!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Torben with a sore ankle and various other complaints a couple of months ago. After a few treatments the persistent ankle issue and smaller aches and pains were all treated successfully. The clinic is clean and Covid precautions were taken very seriously. I do some high impact sports so I am very happy to have found Torben and CLOSIC as I will be visiting again. Highly recommend.
Thank you Matt,
We are so happy that your ankle is good now.
Ankle sprains usually respond really well to gentle osteopathic adjustments.

Fantastic experience: It was a miracle. I've been in pain for almost two months, before a friend convinced me to see Mr. Torben. "He is the best" he said, and he really is. Not only he's kind and professional, but immediately understood what the problem was and fixed it in just one session. It was an immense relief to feel my body being mine again.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Sara.
This is why I love my job - often you see instant results when something is blocked and just needs to be freed up with an osteopathic adjustment.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this Clinic. The treatment and professional support provided by Torben Hersborg (Principal Osteopath and Founder) has been exceptional. I have initially approached the clinic with a number of issues including neck pain, back pain in multiple areas. Torben has helped to treat these issues that I had. His attention and professional knowledge are outstanding. Highly recommend.
Thank you for these nice words Irina!
It was great to see you again today.
All the best, Torben,
