Alasdair is our Sports Therapist (BSC) and member of the Society of Sports Therapists. He graduated in 2011 and has been practicing ever since. Alasdair is also a keen runner and involved with local athletics clubs, so has lots of experience working with runners. He has worked with multiple international athletes including GB mountain runners, marathoners, snooker players, cyclists and climbers. Being based in a Crossfit Gym, he has also worked with lots of cross fitters of all levels and understands the high intensity and strength required to progress in Crossfit.
He has a key interest in working with people suffering from overuse sports related injuries such as achilles pain or anterior knee pain. As a current County level runner himself, Alasdair understands the needs of runners and other athletes to return as quickly as possible and also understands the psychosocial implications of not being able to participate in your chosen hobby/sport/activity, which can be a massive part of people’s lives.
Since graduating, he has specialised in sports injury management and prevention with a focus on return to sport aims. However, he has also gained a lot of experience working with elderly patients and assisting in rehabilitation, or ongoing exercise maintenance following orthopaedic surgery.
