Sports Osteopathy , Physiotherapy & Sports Therapy Rehabilitation

An ankle sprain is the same whether it was acquired playing sport or not. However, the key difference is that a sportsperson may require a more intensive approach to rehabilitation in order to get them back to their chosen sport safely and effectively, as compared to a person that is more sedentary. Our sports-specific therapists can provide the appropriate treatment and sport-specific exercises to get you back to your chosen sport safely and effectively.

We often use technology such as game ready ice compression units , Squids , power meter , force plates , foot scan where necessary to ensure biomechanics and power deficits are indentified and restored for a safe return to sport.

Jamie Staff, Olympic Gold Champion 2008 Team GB

I was first recommended to Andy over 3 years ago. After a few sessions Andy had me back and competing in no time at all. The great thing about Andy and his Team is that they don't give you any nonsense, you just get facts and told exactly what to do or avoid if necessary. I regular visit the team, by having sports massage or further physio treatment throughout the year to help keep me competing at the highest level.

“Having worked with Andy on several occasions in both the elite competitive and teaching environments, I have always been impressed by his work ethic and dedication to both athletes and colleagues, ensuring he is sharing his wealth of knowledge, experience and skills. Andy’s expertise and delivery of relevant manual therapy and manipulative techniques embedded within clinical evidence-based teaching is excellent. Andy is passionate about his profession and this comes across in his relaxed but focused approach.”

Having worked together during my playing days at Gillingham Football Club, Andrew has helped me recover from many injuries including rehabilitation after my knee surgery. I regularly refer players and friends to him.

Mark Patterson, Gillingham Football Club Centre of Excellence Manager

Having worked with Andy at both his clinic and at Fulham Football Club i have learnt a great deal from Andy. He allowed me to observe him work when i was still at university and the knowledge he imparted was invaluable. He has been a mentor to me and i cannot thank him enough for the continued support i receive. I have recommended a number of people to Team Buckley and every one of them has a glowing reference of Andy and his team.
