Hi, I’m Chris: sports therapist, nutritionist, sports enthusiast, all-round healthy living advocate and personal trainer for Loughborough & surrounding villages.

My vision is very simple:  “To make you feel good about yourself by helping you to move well, eat well and ultimately live well.”

I specialise in injury rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, personal training and nutrition.  I’m equally passionate about all of them and each one plays an integral part of the journey to a fitter and healthier you.

I like to empower my clients using my knowledge from formal education and 11 years in industry, as well my lifetime of playing sport.

Since completing my MSc Sport Therapy, and as a committed personal trainer, I continue to keep up to date with the latest research in the academic fields of health, nutrition and injury rehabilitation.  I enjoy learning but more than this, I enjoy learning how to solve problems and make improvements for myself and others.

My aim is for you to trust your body and to feel confident in your body’s ability, whether this is to play a sport or just carry out day to day activities. My experience includes guiding elite athletes through strength and conditioning programmes, injury diagnosis and treatment following incidents and accidents, nutritional programmes for DeMontfort University sport scholars as well as weight loss and fitness programmes for those looking to live better.

As a child I played any sport that was on offer. As a teen this became a more focussed effort towards tennis, badminton and football and today, 20+ years later, I still play football and tennis on a weekly basis.

It hasn’t all been plain sailing. As a teenager I started to suffer with reoccurring back pain and started a cycle: pain relief – physiotherapy – back playing sport.  The issue was never fixed permanently.  It was only at university when I received my first personalised strength & conditioning programme, from the now England Men’s football team Strength & Conditioning coach, did I understand the problem. I had never conditioned my body to play sport. Since this first programme, I have continued to build a solid foundation that allows me to excel on the football pitch and tennis court. I was finally able to move well

I also understand that sometimes life gets in the way of good habits. I have only had one relapse with my back injury since implementing that first programme 15 years ago and it’s no coincidence that it occurred at the same time as becoming a new dad.
