Built on the mat, under the bar, in the clinic.
I came to physio the way most of my clients come to physio — through injuries that wouldn't get out of my way. A shoulder that wouldn't let me grip. A back that locked up in the middle of a meet peak. Months of doing what I was told and getting nowhere.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu has been the backbone of my life for over a decade. I roll most weeks. I've competed, I've sat out, I've come back from things I shouldn't have come back from. Every one of those experiences is in the plan I write for you.
The barbell came alongside it. Squat, bench, deadlift — the three lifts I keep coming back to. I've peaked for powerlifting meets, eaten low-back flare-ups, and stalled out for months chasing the wrong fix. Sport-specific rehab isn't a marketing line for me; it's the only kind I'd want to receive.
The plan respects the sport.
Hands-on therapy has a place. Rest has a place. Neither builds the capacity an athlete actually needs to get back to live rolling or a top-end lift. Tissue adapts to load. The nervous system desensitises through graded exposure. Both of those happen in the gym, not on a plinth.
My job is to find the version of training your body can tolerate today — and then widen that envelope every week until you're back to full send. That means modified rolls instead of no rolls. Tempo squats before max effort. Isometrics before dynamic work. Whatever it takes to keep you moving while we rebuild the ceiling.
For longer-running, stickier pain, the toolkit widens — pain neuroscience education, nervous-system desensitisation, neurological drills, movement reframing. The principle stays the same: keep exposing the system to what it's been avoiding, in doses it can handle.
I roll. I lift. The plan I write is the plan I'd want handed to me.
Trained for athletes, by an athlete.
Below is the formal side — degree, registration, ongoing CPD. The mat and bar are where I keep most of it sharp.
Inside a multi-discipline floor.
The clinic sits inside a gym that runs CrossFit, Hyrox, striking martial arts and Brazilian jiu-jitsu under one roof. That setting is a feature, not a backdrop. Most rehab happens five metres from the equipment you actually train on, with coaches and training partners in the room.
If you're a CrossFitter pulling through a cranky shoulder on toes-to-bar, a Hyrox athlete with calves that won't hold up to wall balls, a striker with a hip that's not loading on the kick, or a grappler with a knee that gives up half-guard — you're who this is built for.
