Meet the Team

Meet James Collinge, our director and lead clinician. After completing an undergraduate degree in Sport & Exercise Therapy, he went on to complete two master’s degrees in Physiotherapy and Strength & Conditioning, creating broad foundations to his philosophies of assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation from injury. For over more than 10 years James has been fortunate enough to support many professional athletes from a variety of sports; from Rugby Union with Team GB Sevens, England U20s and Sale Sharks; Rugby League with Leeds Rhinos and Football with Leeds United Academy. 

Alongside working full-time as a physiotherapist in elite sport, he has always maintained his commitments to private practice, regularly treating patients with recreational, occupational, and everyday life-stressors leading to injury. James delivers his unique insights and experience working with numerous athletes in different sports to every patient journey, ensuring the restoration of pain free function and the most effective return to sport or work.

Meet Alex, our women’s health, and Pilates specialist. Alongside her commitments to private practice, she works as a senior physiotherapist in the NHS as part of the Women and Children Team. Her role requires her to treat a varied caseload of ante-natal and post-natal patients presenting with pelvic health related issues, post-surgical management following C-section and paediatric populations suffering from musculoskeletal issues. She is qualified in matwork and pre/post -natal Pilates from the APPI and regularly uses reformer Pilates as part of her practice.

Prior to completing her master’s degree in Physiotherapy, Alex studied Sports & Exercise Science at undergraduate level and has a background in elite sport representing England in Netball. She incorporates this additional knowledge in her management of sporting injuries back to performance for her private patients in clinic.

Ben brings over a decade of experience as a physiotherapist in full-time professional sport, most recently working for Team GB as a lead clinician during the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games. He has also spent time within Rugby League with the England Youth Programme, Leeds Rhinos, Castleford Tigers and Huddersfield Giants where he led the medical department.

Ben has an extensive portfolio of postgraduate qualifications, achieving masters level certificates in Strength & Conditioning and Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging, as well as modules in applied clinical anatomy, injection therapy and the independent prescribing of medicines, all achieved whilst training under Olympic sports physicians. These qualifications allow him to use diagnostic ultrasound at the point of care to aid an accurate diagnosis and management plan, which may require the prescription of medicines that we can provide you with or deliver direct to your door within 24 hours of your appointment.

Ben also uses ultrasound scanning within our injection service to visualise the injection needle as it enters the desired structure in real-time to ensure that the injection therapy has the greatest possible effect on improving pain, inflammation, and joint function in his athletes in sport and with private patients that he sees regularly in clinic.
