Senior Osteopath

Stephen Makinde

Clinic location : Harley Street and St John's Wood

I specialise in managing and treating conditions that have previously not responded to surgery, physiotherapy or osteopathy.

I am often called upon for my expert opinion and skills in helping solve some of the more difficult cases we see at the clinic. I trained at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) in Hampstead, London, where I undertook a full-time degree course in Osteopathic Medicine and Naturopathy. I also have an MSc In Neuro Movement Disorders. 

I previously taught on the undergraduate course and I have also taught overseas on the postgraduate conversion course run for international students. I firmly believe that anatomy and evidence-based information are at the core of any good practitioner.

More about Stephen

As well as my undergraduate training, I have an MSc in Neuroscience from Queens Square, London. I find this is an added bonus to understanding, treating and managing a multitude of clients’ problems in a much more comprehensive way, as I have a good understanding of the complicated nervous system. I have completed numerous courses and I keep up-to-date with current issues within the field of medicine. I am able to use a multitude of techniques such as cranial osteopathy, medical acupuncture, functional positional release, MET, PNF, manipulation and many others. I also have experience with working with clients who have suffered from chronic and recurrent pain. I come from a strong sports background and continue to follow my passion for sports by treating many top level professional athletes, such as sprinters and long-distance runners, long and triple jumpers, tennis players and golfers. I love the gym environment, as I am able to work closely with personal trainers, biomechanics specialists and physiotherapists, making sure I get to the core of clients’ problems and keeping problems from reoccurring. My training as an osteopath and clinical neuroscientist has indeed helped with my evidence base and problem solving, leading me to understand the importance of a thorough case history to formulate the best approach to a problem. I am one of the lead practitioners at the clinic and as you can imagine, through working with international royal families, premiership footballers (Arsenal, Chelsea and QPR), champion sportspeople and TV celebrities, I am very much in demand as a top specialist in my field. I believe a professional and kind manner, fused with a good old-fashioned hard working attitude, helps me to be more than competent when it comes to improving your health and performance.
