NTERVIEW: A Triangle of Football Osteopaths — Anderlecht, Antwerp and Liverpool
Osteopaat Vlaanderen recently brought together the cream of Belgian football osteopaths for a training course on sports osteopathy . That left them wanting more. So, it is high time to dig deep and let three osteopaths working with football teams speak in detail. Tim Wattez is Anderlecht's resident osteopath, Robin Thys recently guided Royal Antwerp FC to the double (cup and league champions), and Frigyes Vanden Auweele is making waves as head of osteopathy at Liverpool. Purple and White against The Reds at the Bosuil, then? Not at all; this trio has a winning mentality on the pitch but a shared passion for osteopathy off it. A roundtable discussion, then, on football, injuries, the role of the osteopath, and so much more.
