The London Bridge Sports Medicine Group (LBSM Group) has expanded its team by welcoming three highly qualified clinicians to better support a growing number of patients across London and surrounding areas.
New to the practice are Sport and Exercise Medicine Consultants Dr Lewis Raiman and Dr Richard Antbring, along with MSK and Sports Podiatrist Maddie Tait. The LBSM Group caters to individuals at all levels of activity, helping them recover from sports-related conditions and optimise their physical capabilities.
Founder and Medical Director Dr Ajai Seth expressed his excitement about the appointments, stating: “I’m thrilled to welcome Lewis, Maddie and Richard to the LBSM Group and to be able to support a larger community of fitness enthusiasts in London and beyond. My mission has always been to keep people fit, active and away from injury and I know that they have that same philosophy, so they’re a really great fit for us.”
Ms Tait is already offering her services from LBSM Group’s clinics at Old Broad Street and The Shard. Her focus on treating lower limb injuries and prescribing orthotics enhances the team’s ability to support recovery and performance.
She commented: “I really enjoy helping patients improve their quality of life and achieve their personal goals, and working with Ajai, Richard and Lewis means I can bring ongoing support for our patients with complex foot and ankle injuries. I also perform gait and biomechanical assessments to help athletes improve their performance, and provide measuring and fitting services for our specialist orthotics and braces for those recovering from injury. So it’s a brilliant, varied and really interesting role.”
Dr Lewis Raiman has recently opened a new clinic for LBSM in Highgate, North London, offering additional coverage in that region.
Sharing his perspective, Dr Raiman said: “I’ve known Ajai for a long time and it made so much sense to join LBSM because of the infrastructure he’s built, and his passion for helping people keep fit and healthy aligns we mine, so I’m glad that we can now support patients in North London and Hertfordshire too.”
Meanwhile, Dr Antbring is heading up the new Mile End clinic in East London, while also seeing patients at the Highgate branch.
At the launch, Dr Antbring said: “East London has so many thriving local sports groups and facilities that I was really delighted when the opportunity came up to work with Ajai and LBSM to open a new clinic in Mile End, and see patients in Highgate, too. I’m committed to providing individual and personalised care and again it’s something that fits in well with the LBSM approach.”
The newly expanded clinical team will enable LBSM to deliver even more specialised care to patients from across the city.
Dr Seth concluded: “We already help thousands of patients recover from poor health and achieve their goals no matter how big or small they are, so to have them on board to expand our sports injury and performance medicine services is just fantastic.”
