A few years after a serious accident while on board a fishing boat, Nicol came to see me to explore what could be done to help.

We discussed the options and expectations around treatment, and carried out a thorough assessment of movement, strength and control to make sure it was safe and appropriate to progress.

Nicol had developed a number of compensatory movement patterns and muscular imbalances. We therefore took a combined approach, using hands-on treatment alongside targeted strength and mobility training.

Fast forward to now, and Nicol is in a much better place, feeling significantly more comfortable day to day and, importantly, while playing golf.

It’s been great to see

What is Sports & Remedial Therapy?

It’s a question I get asked a lot at SD Sports & Injury Clinic.

A lot of people assume it’s “just a sports massage,” but it’s so much more than that.

Sports & Remedial Therapy focuses on assessing, treating and managing muscle, tendon and joint problems. Whether you’re an athlete, someone who enjoys staying active, or you’re simply dealing with everyday aches and pains, treatment is tailored to your individual needs.

At SD Sports & Injury Clinic, sessions may include:
• Hands-on soft tissue therapy and massage
• Joint mobilisation techniques
• Stretching and mobility work
• Injury assessment and rehabilitation
• Advice on movement, posture and activity
• Exercise prescription to help you recover and stay stronger

One of the biggest strengths of Sports & Remedial Therapy is how well it works alongside physiotherapy and strength & conditioning.

Physiotherapists are experts in structured rehab and of diagnosing injuries/ medical conditions, while strength & conditioning coaches focus on improving performance, resilience and long-term physical capacity.

As a Sports & Remedial Therapist, my role complements both by helping reduce pain, improve tissue quality, restore movement and support your body throughout the rehabilitation and training process.

When these approaches work together, you often get the best results:
✔️ Better movement
✔️ Reduced pain and stiffness
✔️ Improved recovery
✔️ Greater strength and resilience
✔️ A lower risk of future injuries

Recovery isn’t about one treatment or one profession having all the answers. It’s about using the right combination of skills to help you move better, feel better and get back to doing what you enjoy.

At SD Sports & Injury Clinic, I believe in working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals and coaches to ensure you receive the best possible care.

If you’re not sure which approach is right for you, I’m always happy to have a chat and point you in the right direction.

CELEBRATING THE WINS 🙌🏻

Sometimes I’m very guilty of not being in the
Moment, celebrating the wins and reflecting on how far my small therapy clinic has come.

This weekend I took a group of students through their practical exams to become qualified sports massage therapists.

The progress since they started has been unreal.

On the drive home, I got a chance to think about the opportunities I’ve had, it’s been some journey and I’ve been very lucky to build a great client base, and I never feel like I’m at “work”.

I’ve had the chance to work with world class athletes, work with clients on various fitness/ health/ life goals.

Now I’m helping the next wave of the SMT’s take their step into the industry. Very grateful.

This is all down to the support from my family and especially my partner Heather, who always gets behind anything I attempt, and believes in me, when I’m having doubts that I can pull something off.

Also to the amazing friends I’ve made within the industry, that have given me opportunities that I’ll never forget.

And lastly but most importantly to my
Clients, for always putting their trust in me
And what I do, thank you!!

It’s always appreciated and never taken for
Granted.
