After graduating from the Surrey Institute of Osteopathic Medicine in 2007, Dwaine has dedicated his career to the science of human movement and injury recovery.

Elite Sports Injury Specialist

Dwaine has a proven track record of working within multi-disciplinary teams for high-performance athletes. His professional portfolio includes:

• Professional Football: Providing specialist spinal assessments and treatments for Milton Keynes Dons (MK Dons) and Crawley Town FC.
• Rugby Union: Currently serving as the lead for injury assessment, rehabilitation, and match-day first aid for Heathfield and Waldron Rugby Club.
• Dance & Athletics: Managing complex injury cases across a wide variety of sports, from professional dance to football and rugby.

Clinical Approach: Structural & Holistic

Dwaine describes himself as a structural osteopath. His treatment philosophy is centred on the mechanical rebalancing of the body through a combination of:

• Manual Therapy: Utilising soft-tissue techniques, joint mobilisations, and manipulations.
• Multi-Disciplinary Synergy: Dwaine believes that combining treatments leads to superior results. He is an expert in Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), Dry Needling, Kinesio Taping, and Sports Strapping.

Your Journey to Recovery

Whether treating an elite sportsperson or a general patient, Dwaine’s priority is two-fold:

1. Immediate Pain Reduction: Using targeted manual techniques to quickly alleviate discomfort.
2. Long-Term Solutions: Working with you to understand your diagnosis. By identifying the reason an injury occurred, whether due to biomechanics or lifestyle, Dwaine provides bespoke rehab exercises and small lifestyle changes to ensure the injury does not return.
