ELITE PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR ALL RUNNERS
Over 15 years I have worked with runners of various ages, distances and abilities. From sprinters representing Great Britain, ultramarathon runners taking on challenges for charity or those new to running building up to their first race. Whatever the goal, I endeavour to ensure my clients achieve it by implementing the same physiotherapy assessment and treatments that I have provided to elite athletes.

Tim, Trail Runner
Tom is a master at sorting out the niggling knees that have come along in my 30's! I am an outdoor guide and runner so keeping fit is important to me and my work. Tom identified the issues and causes and explained them to me thoroughly. He has helped immeasurably and I could not recommend him enough.
Laura, Road Runner
Tom is fantastic, he has such a knowledgeable but friendly approach. Other health professionals had just told me to stop running. But Tom took the time to understand my hip problems and worked on a plan including treatment and home exercises. Crucially with some modifications I could continue to run whilst having treatment. Have recommended Tom to multiple running friends.
Rob, Track Runner
By far the best Physio I have been treated by. Tom's quick & extensive knowledge and treatment returned me back to competitive Athletics, after injury. I have subsequently felt stronger than before, and already achieving personal bests early on in the season.
