About:
My name is Sarah, I am a physiotherapist with more than 6 years of experience working within multiple clinical setting including the NHS, with a focus in Trauma & Orthopaedics. I have previously worked as a clinical team lead in the orthopaedic and surgical teams within an acute hospital setting. I have experience in private practice, including university settings and health clubs, working with sports performance students and multiple sports teams.
I like to work closely with each client to create treatment plans that fit their specific needs, whether it’s recovering from an injury, managing long-term pain, or improving overall fitness.
I am passionate about helping people stay active, combing practical treatments with advice to help everyone achieve their health goals. I have a special interest in post op recovery helping clients regain strength, mobility, and confidence after surgery, including returning to sport. I enjoy pilates, which influences my practice by incorporating core strength and functional movement techniques into recovery plans.

Mark Allen
Sports Massage Therapist
About:
Mark has been practising as a sports massage therapist since 2016. Following in his father's footsteps, he quickly saw how effective sports massage could be, as a young middle-distance runner, he received regular treatment that kept him in peak condition and injury free.
Qualifying as a level 4 sports massage therapist in 2018, he has since completed a wide range of training programmes, including kinesiology taping, ultrasound and shockwave therapy. In addition, Mark now teaches level 3 and 4 sports massage therapy at a training provider in Kent.
Mark's interests include spine and knee injuries, which he finds to be the most common areas of dysfunction and injury that he encounters in patients.
As a therapist, Mark's biggest achievement is working with world light-welterweight boxing champion Josh Taylor while working at the university in 2019.
"He was preparing for the fight that would ultimately make him a superstar, and I feel privileged to have played a small part in helping him achieve that."
In his spare time, Mark enjoys weightlifting, playing Playstation, and spending time with his young family.
