Congratulations to Jo Calvino who finished 4th in Melbourne. Always the worst position to finish in, but we still think it was a fantastic achievement. Oh, and we forgot to mention that Jo set 4 new British records in doing so! 21 March 06 - John Osman finishes 7th. Another fantastic achievement. Well done John.
Good luck to John (Can) Osman and Jo Calvino in Melbourne. Both regular clients here at Addington Palace, we have our fingers crossed for you guys. Tim and Kemila.
Good luck to Sarah Claxton, Mark Findlay and Janette Qwakae in your quest to conquer the world indoor title 2006, from Kemila & Tim at the Sports Injury Clinic.
Shani Reinford, previously ranked #1 in u17 womens high jump, has achieved a personal best of 1.78cm in the womens u20 indoor meet on saturday. Shani recovered well from a badly strained hip flexor muscle, with treatment at the sports injury clinic, now just a few cm off qualifying for the world indoor junior championships in a few weeks time. Good luck. Kemila. (hmmm a star for the future?-Tim)
After 68 days, 15 hours and 19 minutes, Chris Martin achieved the sensational feat of rowing solo across the Atlantic, and finishing first solo crosser. Chris had his thrills and spills, including surfing at 16 knots down a wave (yes in a rowing boat!), capsizing, losing his water filterer, rowing next to sharks, and getting a bad back. But help was at hand as soon as Chris got back to Blighty and he knew there was only one place to come - into the clinic to get it sorted! A truely remarkable achievement, and I strongly urge you to check out his website (see news lower down) and read his weblog which is very good indeed. Photos to follow.
Congratulations to kemila as she has recently been signed up to physio with some of Britains best sprinters/hurdlers and coach. The top sprint group, who train in East London, have already sent a few of their sprinters over to the clinic for treatment and rehab and the results have been very good.

An awesome achievement for Jon Will to win the 2005 World United Martial Arts Federation European Championships in the 65kg class. It looks like the swiss ball training came in useful!! (see photos page). I've diagnosed Jon with a cracked rib so its 6 weeks rest now.

England star Eoin Macmahon contacted The Sports Injury Clinic with a badly damaged bicep tendon which he needed fixing in a hurry. A trip to A&E and the doctors advised him it would take 3 months which is about right for this sort of injury. 4 weeks later Kemila has got him 100% fit with three weeks remaining before England v Scotland on the 27 November. Twice weekly sessions of rehab LASER and soft tissue work has done the job. Nice one!
Tim had the most fantastic day courtesy of Rita Livesey of ECCO shoes where he had the pleasure of assisting Colin Montgomerie around 18 holes of The Grove, Herts. Colin was in great form (probably because Golf Nurse was also there) and everyone had a brilliant day! See photos.
Jo Calvino, Britains no1 female weight lifter, and British Champion more times than i can count, finished a very respectable 4th in Perth last weekend. Jo consulted The Sports Injury Clinic with an acute lower back injury which she needed fixing fast. And fix-it we did. 7 days later she was as fit as a fiddle and as happy as larry. We are now looking after Jo in preparation for The Commonwealth Games in Perth in March 06.
