    Dr. Datler is highly skilled, compassionate, and empathetic. During a consultation, he thoroughly evaluates the condition, providing clear and succinct explanations of the issue and its underlying causes. Additionally, he may incorporate acupuncture to enhance the healing process. Dr. Datler also provides guidance on rehabilitation exercises that you can independently perform, and he wraps up by sending you an email with comprehensive instructions. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

    Christoph was excellent. He addressed my back issues directly and set me on my way to recovery. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

    Christoph was incredibly informative, professional and provided excellent treatment for a repetitive strain injury I had sustained in training as part of my preparations for the London Marathon. With Christoph’s advice and support I was able to complete my first marathon within my target time. I highly recommend him!

    Known Christoph and been a patient with him for a long time. Great personality and supportive through out my sessions and treatments. Continuous improvement seen. Thank you, Christoph.

    I've been going to Christoph for over 2 years. Christoph is incredibly professional and personable and has helped with specific excercises and goals for general mobility and long term health. In addition to this, Christoph has worked wonders on a reactive basis (S1 L5 herniation) and stuck ribs due to poor thorasic mobility. Christoph doesn't pressure you into multiple sessions and you can tell it's his genuine intention for it to be a long time before you need his help again. 27 y/o male and avid gym goer. I've recomender Christoph to friends and family (both male and female).

    Ii have been working with Christoph for a couple of years now. Initially I had some difficulty walking due to pain in my lower back and latterly there has been pain in my middle and upper back especially on the left side. I do suffer from arthritis , kiphosis and osteoporosis. The care and attention and advice Christoph has given me has enabled me to continue with my main love of walking which I do 3 or 4 times a week. I would highly recommend him without reserve.

    Christoph is a brilliant osteopath based in London His use manipulations, acupuncture and targeted massage have always improved my issues I went to see Christoph for over the years. Due to the long hours of playing my instrument as a professional violinist Christoph has helped me with problems such as postural imbalances causing severe neck and ribcage pain, forearm pain due to repetitive strain as well as rotator cuff impingement. Christoph is amazing and I highly recommend him!

    Christoph is amazing. My boyfriend has been seeing him for a while as he has a slipped disc, and the sessions with Christoph have really helped him. I then booked an appointment for my lower back pain - Christoph made me feel very comfortable and he is super knowledgable. He sorted me out very quickly and shared some exercises for me to continue doing at home. My mum has also started going to Chrisoph’s clinic as she has a very stiff upper back and neck. He provided great help and also scheduled an appointment for her at the Rheumatology department of a hospital. She felt very at ease with him and wants to book in more sessions as she found it very helpful.

    I've been going to Christoph for a number of years for back pain and also a shoulder injury. He is very very knowledgeable and good at what he does. He explains why he's working on certain muscles and uses acupuncture as well (if you're happy to). He is very professional and will make you feel comfortable. He will also give you stretches to do to prevent further pain and provide a write up of these via email incase you forgot which is helpful. Overall I would highlyyyyy recommend going to Christoph for any kind of injury or muscle pain.

    Christoph is a craftsman in his field! He is a true subject matter expert that can resolve a number of pains in the body! He remains the best physio and osteopath I know (and I tried a lot). I only turn to him, and I trust him explicitly to resolve my muscle pains and do the full MOT, when I need to, on my upper and lower back- as I sit a lot at my desk and hardly have the time to move! I'm always grateful for Christoph, especially when the stresses of work just put further pressure on my muscles!

  • 5/5 eleana d. 6 years ago on Google
    I went to see Christoph with very tight shoulders in a lot of pain. He took a very detailed history of my condition, did a great job and really helped me a lot from session number one. He gave me exercises and followed up with me via emails. I highly recommend him!

  • 5/5 Dashee V. 5 years ago on Google
    The Best Osteopath in London! I have been coming to Dr Christoph for 2 years now and I feel like a new person each time I leave his clinic. As an endurance athlete I often suffer from injuries in various places, including dislocated SI joint, hip problems and a dislocated ribs in a thoracic spine... Dr Christoph has been able to treat every one of them, each time. He also offers acupuncture and his hands are truly magical. Always a positive attitude and a very pleasant atmosphere. You will also be offered a list of exercises you can do to help your problems and maintain your mobility. This is a best place you can go to! Very highly recommend!

    My second visit to Christoph and yet again I’m so impressed by his treatment and his processes. The results for me are completely incredible. He managed to get rid of excruciating pain in my shoulder in no time at all - amazing! The aftercare is also brilliant - lots of exercises to do in between visits.

    I have received treatment from Christoph for various injuries over the past 3 years. I had been suffering with Achilles strain and he helped to get me race ready for my first marathon. Christoph has a great approach, he not only treats your injury but reviews your entire posture and explains how you can continue to work and strengthen your problem area, he shows you simple stretches and movements that can help to keep you injury free. Christoph has also been treating me post pregnancy in helping with my posture and in regaining my core strength. Christoph is very professional and very knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 michelle di l. 1 year ago on Google
    Christoph is such a skilled practitioner. He has a really lovely manner and knows how to break things down into understandable chunks so that you can carry on the therapeutic exercises and stretches at home.

  • 5/5 Andrew N. 2 years ago on Google
    I have had several sessions with Christoph and have been 100% impressed with his professionalism and immediate results every time. He has provided follow up exercises to help between sessions, which he demonstrated and followed up with written instructions. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

  • 5/5 Ayoola S. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been going to Christoph for on going treatment on my neck and shoulder, and he is truly excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful, he's great at articulating what he's doing to fix your issues and what to do outside of the treatment. He always checks in afterwards, with things we discussed during. Brilliant with acupuncture. I instantly feel so much better afterwards. Couldn't recommend enough!

  • 5/5 Natalie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr Christoph is a genius! I had neck problems for years and actually told I could have arthritis before I saw him. After two sessions he fixed the problem that had been bothering me for 6 years. Now I see him for regular visits and always feel amazing! He is very professional and always makes me feel 100% comfortable in the session.

  • 5/5 Syann C. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend Christoph. I've had two sessions and saw significant improvements in a knee issue that's been ongoing for nine months and a foot issue ongoing for three months after just the first session. Following the second session my symptoms are minimal and I'm confident will be gone soon. Christoph is extremely knowledgeable, after a thorough examination he explained and demonstrated his diagnosis and focused on empowering me to address the issues at home rather than create a reliance on his services as other professionals I've seen have tried to do. As well as an excellent practitioner, Christoph is a pleasure to deal with. Cannot recommend highly enough.

  • 5/5 Queli C. 3 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend visiting this place. After moving I had a really bad lower back pain, couldn't move properly and was struggling to manage the pain. Within a session, my back pain was completely alleviated. What I loved about the session was how Dr Christoph explained and involved me in the treatment by making sure I understood what the initial problem was, how to improve my posture/core strength and giving me some home exercises. Looking forward to going back for my shoulder. Thank you so much.

  • 5/5 Jo F. 3 years ago on Google
    Christoph is simply a brilliant osteopath. I have physical challenges, in that I have a shorter right arm, fused discs in my neck, no proper ball and socket joint for my shoulder and scoliosis to name a few, so a very mixed up bag of musculoskeletal issues! Christoph worked with me to alleviate the pain I was initially presenting with. He also understood the permanent challenges I faced and helped me to adapt techniques to be able to work on these stresses and strains independently.

  • 5/5 Anne Vibeke S. 3 years ago on Google
    Christoph is the best thing that ever happened to my injury-prone runners' body! I have a herniating disc in my lumbar spine plus love running (a challenging cocktail!), and Christoph is the first medical practitioner to fully appreciate how this affects my particular musculoskeletal system and how to support me continuing to run. He generously shares his knowledge so you get a deeper understanding of how your physiology is connected; provides treatment to alleviate pain/tightness; and will suggest (plus demonstrate) specific exercises/practices to experiment with in-between treatment. All of this is based on his extensive knowledge, own experiences and by listening to his patients situation and what they want/need. In June 2020 I was waddling due to pain and by mid-November 2020 I ran a half marathon PR.This wouldn't have been possible if not for Christoph, his confidence (in me and the treatment) and care, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

  • 5/5 Ruby H. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been seeing Dr Christoph for a couple of months for a terrible twisted pelvis / hamstring piriformis injury, and his attention to detail has been so helpful in rehabilitation and recovery. Not only have the needling, muscle manipulation and other techniques worked well - he has taught me how to engage my core and strengthen my muscles to prevent further injury.

  • 5/5 Tiago A. 2 years ago on Google
    Best osteopath for sports injuries in London!

  • 5/5 Ana A. 3 years ago on Google
    I booked an appointment with Dr Christoph because of a persistent pain on my elbows when weaving and sometimes whilst working on a computer and I immediately knew I was in great hands - literally! Dr Christoph booked me in in short notice even though he is very busy, and took the time to do a full assessment and quickly identified the issue and proceeded with a treatment of massage and acupuncture. He was also very kind by giving me advice on how to improve my posture and techniques to implement on my daily routine. He also explained exercises to do at home and followed up my appointment with a detailed email also explaining all of these, which was very helpful to make sure I’m doing everything correctly. I saw improvement immediately after the first session and in a few days I could finally return to my hobbies with a lot less pain! I’m always amazed at how he manages to cover so many things in just one hour session and I always leave feeling a lot lighter and noticing how much it improves my overall health. His hands are truly magical and he is very knowledgable - I can’t recommend him enough!

  • 5/5 Alisa P. 2 years ago on Google
    My 14 year old daughter has severe anxiety, PTSD and a phobia of any kind of healthcare. Her behaviour in healthcare settings is quite extreme and most people have no idea what to do in the face of her reactions. Christoph has been absolutely remarkable with her. I find it hard to put into words how exceptional he has been in finding ways to work with her fears and manage to not only treat her but get her excited to come back and see him. His approach to her physical problems (which affect the use of her hands) has been superb and he is clearly very good at what he does. However, that would not be possible if it weren’t for his unique ability to connect past her mental health challenges and meet her where she is. I can’t thank him enough.
