Offering a unique contribution to resolution of your

Running Injury

Three important strands woven together.

As a Totally Committed Therapist  I have a keen personal interest in running injuries, resolving your problem matters to me.

As a Dedicated Coach, I understand your training and  racing, I can offer practical advice to help you return to full fitness.  

As a Fellow Runner, I know exactly how you feel.

How can I help you?

Together we'll discuss & understand the history and background of your injury.

Evaluate and understand the nature of the problem.

The majority of running injuries fall into the "overuse" category.

In addition to treating your injury problem - providing therapy to hasten your recovery - it's usually necessary to look at other factors that may have contributed to, or caused the problem

Issues such as training history,  recent changes in training load, your running gait, biomechanics and running shoes will feature in this. We'd need to consider muscle weakness, imbalances or areas of muscle tension as well.

You can expect:

• A full assessment
• Treatment to assist your recovery
• A recovery plan
• Self treatment advice
• Training advice
• Orthotics, if needed.

Many committed runners have a regular Sports Massage.

This serves as a useful early warning device to find and eliminate any injury issues before they become critical.

Why not consider it for yourself?

Regular treatment also carries the benefit of speeding up recovery from hard training, enabling a faster adaptation and improved training progression.

Weekly massage is tremendous,once a month or once a quarter can pay significant dividends.

UK Athletics pays for our high performance athletes to have frequent massage, they don't give their funds out lightly, so it's an indicator of the esteem in which Sports Massage is held at the top level of our sport.

Discounted rates are available for athletes who take regular treatments.

Preferential rates are enjoyed by:

Want to know about me as a runner?

Involved in athletics since 1982 as a middle distance and endurance runner, still training, still competing, still enjoying it, still obsessed, if you race, we've probably lined up together.

I've been involved in coaching for many years and have worked with a great many super people, making friends and helping others to achieve their goals.

Currently engaged with UK:Athletics in the latter part of my own Level 4 High Performance Coach education pathway I contribute regularly to the learning programme of other sports coaches.

This is me, looks like I'm in the lead, and they say the camera never lies.
