MSc Sports Injury Therapist. I provide injury assessment, identification & treatment for individual athletes and sports teams who take part recreationally or at an Elite level. Additionally i provide treatment for non-sports related injuries sustained from sitting at a desk, gardening e.t.c. I utilise a variety of manual therapy techniques (joint mobilisations, sports massage, trigger point therapy, taping with the development of sport/occupational rehabilitation programmes designed to increase strength, correct muscle imbalances, increase flexibility and muscular & cardiovascular endurance to return individuals to their sport/occupation. Injury prevention is done through a screening protocol to identify poor or incorrect movement patterns which are a result of muscle strength and flexibility imbalances. This can cause the body to overcompensate increasing the individuals risk of injury. This allows me to develop individual specific pre-habilitation programmes to aid injury prevention
