Frequently asked questions
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
From a common symptoms point of view, we see different types of patients compared to a doctor or a physiotherapist. Typically, we split them into two camps, where either they are individuals that have let their strength or physical capacity drop too low for a number of factors, whether they be a medical, lifestyle, recent acute injuries like musculoskeletal injuries or even issues around mental health. That's one type of patient.
Or we have those that are pushing towards a new goal, and that can be everything from elite sportsmen and women – and we see a number of professional athletes at Pure Sports Medicine – to the person who has never felt they're able to play tennis or never felt they've been able to run 5K or have never felt they've been comfortable in the gym, essentially looking for the physical tools and looking for the map and we're there to help them find it. This is typically what I see when it comes to patient symptoms. It's quite a wide spectrum.
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
I do everything from a basic introduction to exercise and training for people who are elderly or people who have pre-existing medical conditions like arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis. That includes planning and structuring their exercise, so it fits into their everyday life and supports their overall physical condition through to long-term training plans for marathons, Iron Man and seasonal support (supporting someone throughout a competitive season for team sport athletes and professionals, and that includes things like strength, mobility, injury prevention, endurance training, you name it).
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
I work a lot with endurance athletes and teams sport players, such as footballers and rugby players. In recent years, I've taken a keen interest in helping those with rheumatological conditions, to plan and structure their exercise to allow a continuing benefit from exercise and to avoid overtraining and burnout.
I do a lot of work with injury prevention and movement quality, as well as improving fitness characteristics, such as strength, mobility, power and endurance.
