Injury prevention to maximise performance

John qualified as a Physiotherapist from the University of Birmingham in 2013, prior to completing a degree in Sports Science and Outdoor Activities at the University of Wales in Bangor.

Following qualification, he worked in London both for the NHS as a Senior Physiotherapist as well as in semi-professional sport for Rosslyn Park Rugby club before moving to Leeds to co-establish a sports clinic with the University of Leeds, working with their Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) athletes. He switched to working in full time professional rugby with Yorkshire Carnegie and then Premiership rugby side Newcastle Falcons until joining CSPC in December 2021. Alongside his work with CSPC, he also works with UK Athletics, GB canoeing and England Rugby.

John has a strong interest in injury avoidance in order to maximise performance through a combined approach of strategies including, load monitoring, strength and conditioning and biomechanical assessments. He uses this alongside hands on treatment strategies such as manual therapy, strapping and soft tissue treatments.

Outside of work, John has always been an active sportsman previously playing rugby and representative standard cricket, badminton and cross-country running. He is now often found out in the hills either climbing, fell running, mountain biking or skiing.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Over the years I have worked with a number of the physios at CSPC, I have found them to be up to date with their thinking and treatments, willing to share their knowledge with one and other and clients. I always recommend CSPC to friends and clients. They have helped hold body and soul together, thank you.

I am absolutely delighted with the shockwave treatment I have received at CSPC physiotherapy Clinic and the results it has produced. Each session has measurably reduced the size of my bursitis to the point it has almost gone, with corresponding improvement in my range of movement and comfort in the affected area. It has also ameliorated calcification in my shoulder. A great big thank you to Alison and Julianna for your help!

I cannot believe how well I feel. Four years ago, I felt consigned to the ‘rust pile’, today I feel ‘shiny’ and ready for the next challenge. CSPC can seriously alter your way of life …for the better.

Within the one hour appointment I received hands on treatment that relieved most of my pain and by the evening I was breathing and moving pain free. By the following morning I was back to ‘full dad duties’ much to the surprise of my partner, who with seeing how quickly I had recovered, started to think I’d made it all up to have a good rest!

After a long car journey to Leeds, I arrived with some discomfort in my upper back that worsened over the next day to the point that I could hardly breathe or move without feeling excruciating pain.

I’d done a gym session a week or so previously and had felt some discomfort in my back but rested and thought nothing of it. A long car journey combined with caring for two young children resulted in me having excruciating back pain and if it wasn’t for getting an emergency appointment at CSPC physiotherapy clinic I would not have made it home and probably checked myself into A&E!

Thanks CSPC physiotherapy for getting me back to my best – super quickly!
