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.
