Dr Datler is at the top of his game treating athletes at the top of theirs. After a dancing injury as a child, my back pain is something I have lived with all my life and I've seen every kind of specialist for 35 years. I can honestly say that his knowledge, practice and all round demeanour as an intelligent and warm human being, surpass all other osteopaths I've seen. I went to his Bromley clinic, which, in beautiful, elegant surroundings, compliments his extraordinary expertise as an osteopath. I paid him a few visits a year ago and haven't needed him since, which says it all, until pulling my back moving house. The experience of his consultation and treatment is on a totally different level, teaching his patients that (in my case) back pain is inextricably linked to parallel muscles in the chest and treating this in conjuction with clicks to the precise zone of pain. I find the combination of manipulation and acupuncture especially relieving and he also provides meaningful exercises to do at home, in the hope he won't need to see you again soon. To say he comes recommended would be hopelessly inadequate. I cannot imagine going to any other osteopath ever again, even though I've moved out of the area. He's also in Blackheath.

Dr Datler has been amazing when I had a herniated disc in my lower back and was looking for an osteopath. I was told by others that I would never run or play volleyball again but he helped nurse me back to health. I managed by following his exercise regime and coming back for treatment in the Bromley clinic.

I ran and won (!!!) a half trail marathon in the mountains this summer! For ever grateful, thank you Christoph!!!

I’ve been seeing Christoph for over two years now for an ongoing back issue and I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough.

He’s helped me through countless flare ups during that time, always getting to the root of the problem quickly and effectively. What really stands out is how thorough and knowledgeable he is. He’s pointed out things about my anatomy and movement patterns that other specialists I’ve seen over the years completely missed, which has made a huge difference to how I manage my back long term.

The real testament to his skill was the week before Glastonbury. My back went into a bad flare up and I was convinced the festival was off the cards. After two quick fire appointments with Christoph, I was back on my feet and able to go. He genuinely saved my Glastonbury.

If you’re dealing with any kind of back problem, especially something ongoing, you’ll be in very safe hands with Christoph at his clinic in Bromley. He’s professional, incredibly skilled, and clearly cares about getting you back to doing the things you love.
