Stephen Makinde – Clinical Director and Senior Osteopath
My name is Stephen Makinde and I am the clinical director of the Perfect Balance Clinic Athlete services.
I will let you into a secret, well its not a secret really, especially to those around me and clients I have treated….I don’t settle for second best. This really does help me have the vision to deliver and achieve results with my clinical practice and alongside my team which are extra-ordinary.
They may not be perfect but there is no harm in trying to get close to it.
I am very passionate about what I do and listening to what goes on around me. I think I over think things…but I always try and bring things back to its most simple form.
I am very proud of what we have created in Perfect Balance Clinic and indeed the Athlete Services program. The concept of providing exception care to athletes and people trying to achieve great things in their sport, has been remarkably well received.
Thank you to my team and thank you to everyone that has helped achieve this.

Aaron Trim – Athlete Services Sports Therapist
My name is Aaron Trim and I am a Sports Therapist and Athletes Services co-ordinator. My journey began at the age of 12, where I fell in love with Health and Fitness and wanted to assist in healing others.
One of my passions of working in the clinic and a within Athletes Services, is to fully assess patients in all stages of rehab and to use a hands on approach in aid to progress the patient through injury.
As a Sports Therapist, I am deeply involved in clinical assessments of athletes, and offering professional advice both from a practitioner and athletes point of view.
Being an athlete myself, I have experienced “highs and lo’s“. Being one of the best and wanting to work to my true potential has always been an ambition. Compteting for over 15 years has driven me to finding out ways to keep myself fit, stronger and a more focused athlete.
Since joining Perfect Balance Clinic and Athlete Services, I have been able to influence patients and athletes in the journey of rehab and fitness. Building a friendly and comfortable relationship with the client is the most important aspect of my position in Athlete Services.
Steve Grant – Health and Performance Nutritionist
My name is Steve Grant and I am the Health and Performance Nutritionist for Perfect Balance Clinic Athlete Services.
Since graduating with my Sports Studies degree back in 2005 and then qualifying as a nutritionist shortly after, I have gone on to work with, advise and support a number of athletes, ranging from international medal winning athletes & professional footballers to many weekend warriors who love competing in their sports and want to achieve the best possible performance they are capable of.
Nutrition plays a significant role in how well our body is able to function and perform. Our body is constantly utilising nutrients to allow our cells to produce energy and do their thing. When nutrition is sub-optimal you can see a breakdown in someone’s ability to function and perform at his or her best.
My approach is to deliver a service that is both health and performance based. I look to create a foundation nutrition plan that we can build on and have available to me advanced athlete specific lab testing to help us optimise nutrition protocols further.
