Samuel Harry
Performance and Rehabilitation Coach
Samuel graduated in 2015 from St. Mary’s University with a degree in Sport Rehabilitation. During his studies he gained vital knowledge in functional rehabilitation exercises and hands on treatment. He is also keen runner, competing nationally in 800m as well as various events up to half marathons.
Samuel strongly advocates personal, individually prescribed exercises to help alleviate pain, such as strengthening activities and working on weaknesses; an excellent recovery and enhanced quality of life will then follow. He specialises particularly in functional injury rehabilitation, running coaching and in-depth injury assessment.
Samuel believes in working closely with his colleagues to achieve the very best outcome for his patients. He runs a range of programs concerning treatment and individual exercises with particular focus on tailored maintenance.
training pre-professional programme, I sustained severe patellar tendinitis to the
extent that I had to stop dancing completely for over 18 months. When I started
working with Samuel I had more or less given up hope: I had worked with more than
half a dozen highly recommended physiotherapists, sports science majors,
acupuncturists and chiropractors – all of whom gave up on my case. I worked with
Samuel both as my rehabilitation specialist and as my sports massage therapist and
less than two months after I started treatment with him I successfully re-auditioned
and was accepted into the Conservatoire.
I continue to see Samuel on a weekly basis – mostly for massage though he regularly
advises me of new exercises to add into my daily practice. He is constantly thinking
of new ways to better approach my healing and has really spent a lot of time making
exercises more dance specific. Samuel consistently goes over and beyond the call of
duty to make sure my body works optimally; with the intensity of the program I am
doing, there is always an area of me that has developed a restriction by the time a
week has passed and without fail I leave him feeling like I have a new body.
What ever your problem, whether you struggle with posture, tightness or stress or if
you are a high class athlete looking to improve your game, Samuel is an excellent
choice.”

Scott Wilkie
Sport Rehabilitation Therapist
Originally from Ireland, Scott is a BASRaT certified sports rehabilitation therapist. Indeed, sport has always played a huge part in his life, having competed at a high level in hockey in particular. This has provided him with a good understanding of the importance of keeping your body in peak condition and injury free. It’s also the reason he has chosen to work in this field.
Unfortunately, in 2010 Scott suffered an injury that changed his sporting life and kept him out of the game for four years. Although it is something he will never fully recovered from, it has given him the drive to help ensure other people don’t go through a similar experience. He now works tirelessly in assisting people with their lives post injury.
Scott completed his Master’s degree in Sports Rehabilitation at St. Mary’s University in Twickenham. During this time he gained a wealth of experience in clinical environments as well as in a wide variety of sports, including rugby, football, GAA and athletics.

With 5 years’ experience working as a musculoskeletal therapist, Scott now specialises in injury assessment, deep tissue/sports massage, dry needling and rehabilitation. However, these techniques are not solely reserved for sports-related injuries but also tightness in the neck, shoulder pains, postural tensions and tensions due to office work. All of these can benefit hugely from rehabilitation treatment.
Scott thoroughly enjoys his work and believes in a multi-faceted approach to make sure all of his patients receive the best outcomes possible. Having worked at Optimal Spine and Sports Dimensions for over a year, he has gained a wealth of experience in clinical environments. He is also very popular with both clients and staff members alike.

Sabrina Danzig
Sport Rehabilitation Therapist

Fascinated by the body’s capacity to heal itself given the right treatment and exercise, she is also a firm believer in muscle memory and teaching people to look after their bodies correctly to reduce injury.
Having ice skated since a young age, Sabrina has always been interested in sports and exercise. She is now a synchronised ice skater, proudly competing in British and International competitions including the Junior World Championships.

Using different methods to re-start the healing process and getting individuals back to full health is what truly drives her.

Mikael Porath Petersen
Doctor of Chiropractic
Mikael decided chiropractic was his future after suffering a severe back injury. He graduated from the Anglo European College of Chiropractic in 1997 and immediately started working with professional athletes, including the Danish National Football team. Mikael is always prepared to be challenged, one of his latests latest projects is an Olympic swimmer with a nerve irritation, which reduces her muscle strength. Mikael is convinces that she will soon be on the podium.
Sports Chiropractic Demonstrated the Potential
Working with such an array of professional athletes made Mikael realise that chiropractic doesn’t simply relieve pain and restore nerve function, it is also an incredible catalyst that allows the body to express its true potential once the spine is free from nerve interference.
The last decade has seen Mikael’s career focus on the general public, especially postural improvements and the effect of gait/foot mechanics on spinal function. Mikael truly loves his profession and when asked what he would do if he had not become a chiropractor, says “I would be a chiropractor.”
Education is Key to Community Health
Mikael gives regular health talks to companies, schools, sports clubs and special interest groups throughout London, in addition to his weekly Posture and Health talks at the clinic. “I find” he says, “that education is the most important part of my job as a chiropractor. We are creating so many health problems for ourselves, many of which can be prevented or at least partly prevented by a slight change in lifestyle.”
Mikael is often complimented for his bedside manner, which he explains is a result from working weekends for two years in his youth as a nurse at an old peoples’ home in Denmark. Today, Mikael continues to travel the world attending seminars given by leading chiropractic researchers and practitioners.
Mikael lives by the motto that the best doctor of chiropractic knows what to do, how to do it and why to do it.
