WORKSTYLE

Sports' Therapy focuses on improving the condition of the
body so that it can better respond to the demands made on it by
one's own style of living. Whether overactive or too sedentary,
the skills of a Sports' Therapist can deal with both acute (recent)
and chronic (long term) conditions. Injuries can be treated,
rehabilitation programmes planned and relief from long term pain
delivered using these modes of treatments.

It is as much the therapist as it is the therapy itself that ensures the benefit of the treatment. I will endeavour to understand your condition and explain to you its causes and the potential outcomes. I feel it my responsibility to encourage as much self management from yourself as you are comfortable with.

I have been a professional and qualified sports' coach (rowing) and personal trainer for some years, working at the University of Oxford and elsewhere. I have wide experience of the effects of work, training, overuse and underactivity on the body.

It is a part of the therapists' duties to make appropriate referrals to other healthcare providers within and outside the NHS. I maintain close contact with local resources to ensure any recommendations are made with confidence.

EDUCATION

I have qualifications in massage, sports' coaching, personal training, fitness instruction and other related subjects. In order to keep abreast of current developments and maintain my memberships of professional bodies, I attend regular conferences and lectures on sports science, nutrition and other relevant topics.

CLIENTELE

Although I do deal with some athletes and competitively active people, I have many clients over the age of 70 who find my work, advice and support a valuable aid in improving their mobility, relieving their discomfort and motivating them to expect - and get - more from their lives. Most clients come from personal recommendation. I depend on my reputation and effectiveness to ensure my livelihood. I hope that I may be of use to you or someone you know. Please do get in contact to discuss your special requirements.
