Most athletes and committed sports enthusiasts have good body awareness and often they have acquired better-than-average knowledge on training and nutrition. However, in an area where the difference between winning and losing can be as little as one hundredth of a second, fine-tuning is everything!

Whatever your chosen sport, your body will serve you better if it is strong mobile and balanced — performance increases and injury time decreases if your physical optimum can be approached.

Margaret Papoutsis has many years' experience in the field of sports-orientated therapy which covers a wide area of potential improvements:

Osteopathy will mobilise and balance your body, and can prevent and treat injuries.
Pilates-based exercise can improve power, co-ordination and posture, and help you develop that Olympic-standard stomach!
Sports Nutrition can analyse your diet and suggest ways of optimising your nutrient intake. Specialised supplementation can be of great benefit.
Performance Energetics using Psych-K™ can help to reduce 'nerves' and improve confidence. This can be the crucial factor for many competitors. However talented you might be, if you don't believe you can win, then you probably won't.
Reiki healing can be an invaluable aid to rapid injury resolution and recovery after exertion.
Our Pulsed-Electro Magnetic Energy (PEME) machine can improve healing outcomes, and is invaluable in the treatment of tendonitis, bursitis, repetitive strain injuries and fractures. It is a therapy much used by boxers, not only to ensure rapid wound healing, but to encourage stronger scar tissue formation. This can significantly reduce the chances of re-injury in a vulnerable area.
Cupping can be of great help when addressing the problem of tight, knotting and tender muscles. It also speeds the clearance of local bruising and swelling after injury.
