What i do...
Biokinetics and Neural Manipulation Treatment
Firstly, I evaluate a person's physical condition by a number of movement screening exercises. I then compile rehabilitation exercise and a course of neural manipulation treatment, as appropriate.
Unlike our ancestors who spent 98% of their time on their feet, the modern world means we spend too much time sitting down. That means we are training all the wrong muscle groups in all the wrong ways. Tight, short and lazy muscles are what cause overuse injuries and 90% of the clients treated in clinic.
Bike fitting
​
Bike fitting for me should always start with a movement screening. This way i find out how your body functions and most importantly, It's dysfunction. Once we know how you function, we can look at how you function on the bike and make any changes required.
Following the fit stage, I'll take you through a number of corrective exercises to help correct your dysfunctions.
Bike fitting education
​
A number of fitters in the industry suggested that with my professional cycling background, the training and clinical work with biokinetics and neural function work, I should teach functional anatomy and bike fitting to fellow bike fitters. Over the past few years I've had the pleasure of educating shops across the country.
Gait analysis
This is carried out at Total Foot Health in Salisbury. Together with the team of lab technicians, podiatrists and myself, we analysis your running and/or walk gait, from there we can fit temporary orthosis and if needed, create bespoke ones.
Following the lab analysis, I run a movement screening to asses how you move. Work with you through corrective exercises and treatment to correct and improve your gait.
Bike handling and coaching
This is an on the bike exercise. First we'll discuss the areas where you feel you need help. This may be general handling issues, cornering, climbing or descending skills.
It may be focussed on race management, pace judgment, feeding or understanding your power output.
We then ride together and I'll make notes of areas that need focus and together, we work to correct them till they're no longer an issue.
Corporate treatment clinics
In my corporate clinic, I use a room (meeting room, rest pod etc) once a week for 30 minute sessions where I analyze and treat anyone in the office who requires treatment.
This helps them not only function better in everyday life but helps them work better.
Being in the same building means the time taken away from the office is minimized along with the amount of sick hours/days taken.
