Welcome
Hands-on care for musculoskeletal pain
Balham Sports Clinic is the practice of Neil, a registered osteopath and sports massage therapist based in Balham, South London. Neil combines sports massage and osteopathy techniques — and, where appropriate, western medical acupuncture — to help people experiencing musculoskeletal pain and injury.

Availability in Balham
Having worked in Balham for several years, Neil has moved to Surrey and now travels to the Balham clinic roughly one day a week to see patients. Because appointment times are therefore limited, it is best to get in touch ahead of time to arrange a suitable slot.
