Dwaine Ford

Dwaine Ford qualified as an Osteopath from the Surrey Institute of Osteopathic Medicine in 2007. He then went on to complete his Master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Medicine at Queen Mary University in 2016. He now runs Sussex Physical Therapy based at The Clinic at Borde Hill in Haywards Heath.

Dwaine has worked with elite athletes from a wide range of sports, from dance to football including Milton Keynes Dons and Crawley Town. He is currently working with Heathfield and Waldron rugby club, carrying out injury assessment, rehabilitation and match day first aid.

Dwaine treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal disorders including spinal, joint, ligamentous and tendon pain for all ages and physiques, including elite sports people. The first priority with any patient is to reduce their immediate pain and then work towards a long-term solution. Dwaine believes it is important for patients to understand their diagnosis, so they can address the reasons why the injury occurred. This might involve making small lifestyle changes or carrying out some rehab exercises to rebalance the body.

Dwaine has become an expert in a number of treatments including Dry Needling, Kinesiology Taping and Shockwave Therapy. He has found that using a multi-disciplinary approach can often get much better results.

Dwaine is a member of the Institute of Osteopathy and he is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (registration number 6628).
