I have been involved with physical exercise and therapy for over 30 years. I worked initially in private sector fitness and health centres then spent 14 years instructing physical training in HM forces. During this time, I studied constantly, loving to learn new things, and gained qualifications in Sports Therapy, Sports Massage Therapy, and a BSc degree. I have worked in professional sport and more recently in my own practice. I continue with my studies to this day and recently gained an MSc in Mental Health Science with a dissertation on Movement Therapy as an intervention for mental health illness. I also hold Diplomas in Treatment & Management of Injuries, Movement & Analysis Performance, and Sports & Remedial Massage.
My aim is to assist you in getting the best from yourself, whether that be in daily living activities or competitive sport.
Testimonials
'Doug was able to correct a long term shoulder problem that I'd had. Highly recommended'.
'My whole treatment plan was explained so I knew exactly what we had to do'.
'Very good'.
'Doug brought an holistic approach to my treatment. His knowledge of emotional wellbeing (he has a MSc in mental health) was incorporated into my physical treatment plan'.
'Doug was highly recommended following unsuccessful/inconclusive appointments with various medical therapies. He offered a constructive and staged approach with his treatment concentrating on both physical and psychological aspects. It's now been over 2 years since my treatment and despite various negative life events, my previous symptoms have all but disappeared or if any arise, I am now able to take measures to control them based on Doug's valuable advice'.
