Over the years, I have developed a special interest and set of skills to help athletes and keen sports-people  optimise their performance, recover from injury and develop pre-habilitation programmes.

 

My approach is to design treatments and management plans tailored to the very specific needs of the athlete, in partnership with the athlete. This specifically involves:

 

• Mechanics: teaching the foundation of functional movement principles and reviewing specifically with the athlete. I specifically look at the interaction between the athlete’s technique and mechanical load on the whole body.

​

• Movement control: help the athlete to optimise their movement control through individualised skill sets. I specifically look at optimising the technique of the athlete in order to optimise the loading of the body in a controlled manner. 

​

• Strength and Power training: looking at specific skill sets which can be easily integrated into the athlete training programme to optimise the functional movement principles. 

​

• Return from injury: specific treatments and advice covering movement control, strength training and technique to help the athlete return to competition and prevent re-injury.

​

• Programming: help to identify periodisation for pre-season and in-season training loads.

 

I like to work closely with the athlete so my input optimises the athlete’s training sessions, performance and helps with injury risk reduction.

 

I take the time to share my knowledge with the athlete as I believe empowering the athlete is key in their success.
