Michael Andidorou Registered Osteopath & Naturopath

Founder of Village Osteopathy & Sports Injury Clinic (est. 2006)

With a strong background in both osteopathy and naturopathy, I am dedicated to providing holistic healthcare solutions that address not only the symptoms but also the root causes of various conditions. After relocating from London, I established Village Osteopathy & Sports Injury Clinic in 2006. I graduated with a four-year Osteopathic Medicine degree from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in London in 2006 and am fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council. Additionally, I am recognised by major health insurance companies, including BUPA and AXA PPP.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping a diverse range of patients with a variety of ailments, including but not limited to low back pain, disc injuries, work-related injuries, sports injuries, chronic pain, headaches, migraines, osteoarthritis, nerve entrapments, and posture-related issues. My patients span from adolescents to the elderly, with a focus on providing individualised care to support their overall well-being.

My treatment approach is grounded in the belief that understanding the root cause of an issue is crucial to effective recovery. I employ a holistic, integrated approach to patient care, combining osteopathy, sports massage, medical acupuncture, exercise, posture, and ergonomic advice. By addressing the body as a whole, I aim to restore balance and optimise function, helping my patients not only recover but also prevent future injuries or discomfort.

A particular area of passion for me is the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries. I have worked with many athletes, providing tailored rehabilitation programs for complex and challenging cases, often with great success where other therapies have not yielded results. This aspect of my practice has led to strong patient referrals, including from local GPs and other specialists, as well as through medical-legal companies that handle car crash-related injuries and personal injury claims, such as Premier Rehabilitation, Injury QED, and Elite Rehab.

To ensure the highest standard of care, I prioritise continuous professional development. I regularly attend CPD seminars to stay current with the latest advancements in osteopathic medicine. As part of the regulatory requirement, osteopaths are obliged to complete at least 30 hours of CPD annually. Additionally, I provide my patients with preventative strategies and guidance on maintaining long-term health, including correct lifting techniques, posture improvement, ergonomics, dietary advice, and exercise recommendations.

My goal is to help patients maintain a pain-free, healthy lifestyle and to offer a holistic approach that empowers them to take control of their health for the long term.

Osteopathy is a holistic healthcare approach that emphasises the interconnection between the body’s structure—primarily the musculoskeletal system—and its function. Founded by Dr Andrew Taylor Still in the late 19th century, osteopathy is based on the principle that optimal health depends on the proper alignment of bones and tissues. When misalignments occur, they can disrupt the body’s normal functioning, leading to pain, inflammation, stiffness, and other health issues.

Central to osteopathy is the belief that the body’s structure and function are intrinsically linked. Osteopaths assert that if one part of the body is restricted or misaligned, it forces the rest of the body to compensate, which may result in further dysfunction. By restoring alignment and balance, osteopathic treatment allows the body to heal naturally and efficiently, minimising wear and tear.

Osteopaths take a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment. They begin with a detailed medical history followed by a thorough physical examination to identify the underlying causes of the condition. Treatment is then tailored to the individual’s needs, with a focus not just on alleviating symptoms but also on addressing the root cause of the issue.

Manual techniques, including gentle manipulation, stretching, and massage, are employed to reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, improve posture, and enhance circulation. The aim is to create an environment in which the body can heal itself and restore optimal health and well-being.

This approach avoids the use of drugs and surgery whenever possible, instead relying on non-invasive methods to encourage natural healing. Osteopathy is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as back and joint pain, headaches, and sports injuries, as well as to promote general health and wellness.

In summary, osteopathy offers a holistic, patient-centred approach to healthcare that focuses on the integration of the body’s systems, seeking to restore balance and function through manual therapy and preventative care.

One of my biggest areas of interest as well as a passion of osteopathy is treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries.

I have helped patients recover with sometimes very complex and challenging cases which, by patients own admission, other therapists have been unable to help with. As a result, the majority of my work comes from personal recommendations or other professionals including local G.Ps, and other specialist.

I also receive work through medical legal companies who deal with car crush related injuries and personal injury claims; these companies include Premier Rehabilitation, Injury QED, Elite Rehab.

To keep my knowledge updated and to ensure I provide the best care for my patients I regularly attend CPD seminars to keep up to date with the latest developments in medicine. All Osteopaths are obliged to continue to update the knowledge through CPD, the minimum number of hours is 30 hours a year.

To further help your recovery I give advice on maintaining a realistic level of health. To prevent future recurrence, this includes advice on correct lifting techniques, posture, ergonomic, diet, orthotic and exercise advice. My approach is  taking a preventative approach in order for you to maintain a healthy and hopefully a pain free lifestyle also providing a holistic approach to healthcare.
