About

Claire Slater-Gallon
Registered Osteopath & Physiotherapist BSc (Hons)
Claire is a full-time physiotherapist, osteopath and strength and conditioning coach, passionate about helping people move better, get stronger, and reach their full potential. She believes that how you move - and what you believe about your movement plays a vital role in keeping you strong, resilient, and with less pain. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple reminder to move, and that reminder can make all the difference.
Claire runs her busy practice Get Strong physiotherapy & osteopathy, based in Kew, Richmond. She works with a wide range of patients, but sees a large number of runners and has a particular interest in treating running-related injuries - especially those involving the foot and ankle.
For Claire, treatment always begins with movement: ankle mobility, up-and-down motion, and getting the whole body moving through the ankle. While strength work and plyometric exercises are an important part of recovery, she believes it starts with restoring natural, functional movement.
"My interest in movement began when I saw the real lasting benefits it gave people. No matter their fitness levels, it was always the simplest, most basic movements - quick and easy to do - that made the biggest difference."
