Spine and chronic pain. Fifteen years in sports medicine and the person we send the difficult backs to.
What he treats
Lower back pain that has outlasted two or three previous courses of treatment, disc-related leg pain, and necks that flare up every few months without an obvious trigger.
How he works
He spends the first half of an assessment on history, because a back that hurts in the morning is a different problem from a back that hurts after an hour of sitting. Treatment is hands-on where it helps and loaded rehabilitation everywhere else.
Outside the clinic
Fifteen years of covering rugby touchlines left him with firm opinions about returning to contact sport too early.
