We have two space left for the highly praised 2 day course
From Injury to RTP in Youth Athletes

14-15th November 2026
Six Physio Mansion House

Do you feel confident that what you teach in the treatment room will transfer and be retained by the young athlete when thy return to sport?

Do you consider the cognitive and physical demands of sporting environments and understand how to establish capacity in both?

From Clinic to Chaos: Why Good Rehabilitation Must Transfer to Sport
An athlete can look excellent in the clinic and still struggle when they return to sport. So, what are we really measuring when we assess rehabilitation progress?

Sport demands far more than strength, balance and technically sound movement. Athletes must perceive, decide, react and adapt in a constantly changing environment — often under fatigue, pressure and cognitive load.

📰 In this week's Kids Back 2 Sport newsletter, I explore why good movement doesn't necessarily mean effective learning, and how we can bridge the gap between controlled rehabilitation and the unpredictable demands of sport.

Inside, we look at:
⚽ Progressing from restoring capacity to developing adaptability
🧠 Understanding cognitive load and dual-task cost
🎯 Why retention and transfer matter — and how we can build towards them

Read the full Youth Athlete Voice newsletter to explore how we can make rehabilitation more relevant to the real demands of sport.

The goal isn't simply to make rehabilitation harder. It's to prepare young athletes to adapt when the task, environment and decisions change.

Successful rehabilitation is not about producing an athlete who moves perfectly in the clinic. It is about preparing them to adapt, respond and perform when the demands of sport become unpredictable.

Do you create then that truly prepares athletes for the demand of their sport?

We need to ensure that athletes are not just looking good in the control of the treatment room but move well with unconscious competence when they go back to the multi sensory environment of sport.

How can we ensure that we achieve retention beyond the clinic door? One method is to use implicit learning via an external focus of attention

You don’t know what you don’t know
If you are not aware of adolescent anatomy and pathology then why would you consider many of the growth tissue injuries as part of your clinical reasoning.

Join me online or in person in Cambridge on October 3-4th to learn how to assess, diagnose and rehab sporty adolescents and get them safely back to sport

Last chance to get ticket for Train the Brain, Not the Sprain!

Changes in the can brain occur after ligamentous injury. Failure to address these changes may result in recurrent ACL and ankle injuries so join me for an online intro to neurocognitive rehabilitation.

Learn how the language we use can affect retention, how quickly we upregulate vision and how hard it is then to break that reliance and which patients might a higher dual task cost.

Simply making an athlete stronger is not enough - join us to understand the importance of training the brain not just the sprain.

All proceeds going to Manchester Children’s Hospital

Treating young athletes isn’t just about treating the injury.

🧒🏽 From Assessment to Return to Play in Youth Athletes
with Angie Jackson

📅 3–4 October
📍 Gymteq, Cambridge

A practical 2-day course designed to give therapists the confidence to assess, diagnose and rehabilitate young athletes as young athletes — not small adults.

You’ll learn how to:

▪️ Assess maturation and understand how it changes diagnosis
▪️ Recognise growth-related injuries, bone stress injuries, RED-S and serious pathology
▪️ Assess physical, cognitive and non-sporting capacity
▪️ Integrate neurocognitive rehabilitation into your treatment
▪️ Adapt rehabilitation to the individual child
▪️ Prepare young athletes for a safe, confident return to sport
▪️ Consider the impact of sleep, nutrition, stress and workload on injury and performance

Whether you work in private practice, the NHS, sports clubs or with developing athletes, this course will help you make better clinical decisions and get young athletes back to doing what they love.

Because children aren’t just smaller adults — and their rehabilitation shouldn’t be either.

After 39 years as a physio and over 30 of those years at the helm of Physiofit the time has come to hang up my boots and stop seeing patients.

I am excited for the next chapter to begin making time for more teaching, and hopefully squeeze in a little time for fun stuff too.

I still love physio as much as I ever did but I can only make the healthcare provision for young athletes better than how I found it years ago if I take more time to share my knowledge globally and support the next generation to be as passionate about sporty kids as I am.

It’s been so rewarding and thank you to everyone who has been a part of my physio journey so far from patients to doctors to colleagues 💥 🍾🎉🥳⛳️🎾

IS ACL INJURY A PERIPHERAL OR CENTRAL INJURY?

This months MSK Paeds Needs research review explores the latest evidence questioning whether ACL injury should be still viewed as primarily a peripheral musculoskeletal injury. Increasing evidence, however, suggests that ACL reconstruction is also associated with changes in the neural systems involved in sensory processing and motor control. Recent research has begun to examine whether these neural adaptations have functional consequences, particularly when movement is performed under increased cognitive demand.

The second paper explores the importance of cognitive-motor interference (CMI) which is described as the deterioration in motor or cognitive performance that occurs when cognitive and motor tasks are performed simultaneously reflecting competition for limited attentional resources.
