- Principle Osteopath

- Company Director of GD Health Clinics Ltd
- Clinic manager at GD Osteopathy & Sports Massage, Enfield
I have been involved in manual therapy since 2006 after making the decision to dedicate my professional life to helping others. As well as being an Osteopath and Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist, I’m also a husband, father and charity volunteer. I truly believe that the human body has the innate ability to seek health and wellness. Reducing muscle and joint tension and improving circulation enables the body to self-heal.
Since birth I’ve had a genetic eye condition which resulted in me being severely sight impaired. Osteopathy and Massage Therapy has been the perfect occupation. These professions are much more about what you can feel rather than see. A decrease in one sense results in an increase in another, the sense of touch that is so important for diagnosis and treatment has been my gift.
With a background in training and competing in Olympic Style Weightlifting for 10 years to Commonwealth Level. I now take part in Yoga, Running and Cycling.
Qualifications
I first completed a one year BTEC Level 4 Diploma in Sports & Remedial Massage from the North London School of Sports Massage. This was immediately followed by a four-year full-time Master of Osteopathy undergraduate degree at the British School of Osteopathy. In 2013 I also became a fully qualified Kinesio Taping Practitioner.
Interests
I am an avid fundraiser for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, raising nearly £11.000 for this great cause already. I have undertaken a 112km trek across the Sahara Desert and took part in the Bupa Great South Run 2013.
SALVATORE ALU
- Associate Osteopath
- Sports Massage Therapist
I’m an Osteopath who graduated from the College of Osteopaths in London with a Bachelors degree in Osteopathy. During this time gained additional skills and qualifications in medical acupuncture, taping and strapping and kineseo taping. Prior to graduating I worked as a personal trainer and a sports and remedial therapist in various health clubs across London, for over ten years and furthered my knowledge by studying courses in corrective exercise and exercise rehabilitation. Currently, alongside working in my clinic, I am a class tutor for T3 Education teaching sports massage therapy techniques.
My passion for Osteopathy began from my passion for football after suffering many injuries and seeing an Osteopath for treatment I was amazed with the results. This fascination led me to want to help others in pain with similar injuries and I enrolled onto a five year Osteopathy degree course. Alongside my studies I worked as the head sports therapist of a football team for two seasons. This helped me to apply and combine exercise rehabilitation skills with Osteopathic skills to provide excellent management and advice to athletes and patients.
My aims of treatment reflect my passion for playing sport and my importance of being active by helping my patients from athletes to the general public improve their function, movement and reducing their pain to improve their health and well being. I understand people’s anxiety and fears when it comes to injury and pain and it is my mission to put people at ease and in better health as quickly as possible.
Away from work, I’m an avid supporter of football and enjoy improving my Italian and spending time with my partner and daughter.
