I want to dedicate this editorial to an inspirational osteopath who I have known since I started sportEX and who tragically passed away
on the 15th December last year. Jonathan Betser was just 46 years old when he died, after an 18 month battle with cancer. He was married with two children and my deepest sympathy goes to his family for the loss of both a husband and a father.

In my first 6 years of sportEX, I worked closely with the Jonathan through the Osteopathic Sports Care Association, an association that he founded and which was just one of the many contributions he made to sports care. As a result of our shared goals, OSCA was the first association to provide sportEX medicine to its members, a group of people that Jonathan advocated for tirelessly. I always remember leaving meetings with him, feeling a weird contrast between mental exhaustion and sheer exhilaration (I’m sure I wasn’t alone in this experience)! The man was a human dynamo quite literally - he did everything at speed! He was involved in the London 2012 preparations, ran multiple private clinics, worked for many GB sports teams including GB Gymnastics and on top of that was one of the most generous and giving people that I’ve ever met. Jonathan, thank you for all you achieved on behalf of sports care, and for the integrity, honour and kindness you showed as a person. Our industry will be a much poorer place without you.
