What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a non-invasive therapy that helps relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve function for people of all ages. At our Chiswick clinic, we treat a wide range of issues, including back and neck pain, sports injuries, joint problems, and posture-related discomfort. Using tailored techniques like articulation, muscle energy, and advanced massage methods, we support healing, prevent re-injury, and help athletes return to sports. Whether you’re recovering from an acute injury or managing chronic pain, our osteopathy services aim to improve your well-being and get you back to the activities you love — pain-free.
Benefits of Perturbation Training
Perturbation training involves exposing the body to sudden, unpredictable disturbances—like unstable surfaces or unexpected forces—to improve reactivity, balance, and neuromuscular control. It’s commonly used in rehabilitation to reduce injury risk and enhance movement stability.
In the perturbation bench press, continuous instability increases activation of the trunk and stabilizing muscles, helping support joints and improve overall control during lifting.
Who benefits?
-
Untrained individuals: Improved stabilizer activation, balance, and strength.
-
Older adults: Better physical and cognitive function, with reduced fall risk.
-
Athletes: Used as an accessory exercise to enhance performance and stability.
