Sports Therapy
Sports therapy for injury assessment, rehabilitation and return to activity. One-to-one and tailored sessions for your needs.
From first assessment through to a full return to activity. Built like a journey of care, not just a one-off appointment.
A thorough initial assessment to identify the problem and build a plan to fix it. Where we start.
Soft and deep tissue work to ease pain, tension and restricted movement. Flexible for your needs.
Structured, hands-on sessions to rebuild strength and mobility after injury, at the right pace.
A range of Gym-based training once your body is ready to build back up safely, building a resilient body.
My interest in sports therapy started on a football pitch. Years of playing football came with the usual run of injuries, and dealing with them firsthand is what pulled me toward understanding the body properly. I started to learn about not just how injuries happen, but how people actually get back to doing what they love.
That curiosity took me through my degree, where I studied at the University of Gloucestershire. Alongside that, I gained hands-on experience working with Cheltenham Town Football Club, supporting players through injury in a professional football environment, which is something I've always aspired to do.
I'm also a Personal Trainer at CLC Health & Fitness Centre, which pushed my interest further, from not only treating injuries, but helping people build stronger, more resilient bodies so they don't end up back at square one.
No hidden costs. Start with an assessment if you're not sure what you need and we'll build a plan from there.
Not sure where to start? The initial clinical assessment covers everything, drop me an enquiry first.
Fill this in and I'll get back to you directly. Responses expected within a day. No commitment, just an initial conversation.
