Free Online Support for all Front Line Blue Light Workers!

As my way of supporting those who we are relying on most during this difficult time, I would like to extend my free online service which is currently available to my clients, to include all those who are front line blue light emergency workers, including  Paramedics, Police Officers, Nurses, Midwives, Doctors and Fire Fighters.
As a very proud father to Chloe (featured above) who is a paramedic, I know all too well how hard you are all working, and your dedication to providing the highest care despite the currently challenges isn't going unnoticed, and I hope that by providing online & telephone advice for current aches & pains (including sending video self maintenance exercises) may provide some support.
This is such a tough time for you all, and it is vital that you look after yourselves so please don't hesitate to contact me directly, and you don't need to have been a previous client of mine, as this is open to you all as my way of appreciation for your hard work and dedication.
Regards Chris

£10 to each official London marathon fundrunner for their charities!

With my son Adam and daughter Chloe!

The tough but correct decision.

It's such a shame that the London marathon has been postponed until later this year.
I manage the NSPCC Soft Tissue team for the London marathon and I have also run 3 marathons raising money for ChildLine, so I know all too well how much the charities rely on the income generated from this event, which is the largest annual single day fundraising event in the world and unfortunately there is no guarantee that it will be on later in the year although fingers crossed it will!
With this is mind, I would like to support the Oxfordshire based London marathon official charity fundraisers by donating £10 to their charities for every full priced treatment they have with me, right up to the day of the race (or announcement of cancellation, but hopefully not).
All you need to do is bring proof of your official charity place with you and right at the end of your treatment I will pay £10 to your charity straight away, so that your charity receive their money now when they need it the most, it's a simple as that!
This is for new and regular clients and starts now, so it's a great way of maintaining your training in the healthiest condition possible, whilst supporting your charity during this tough time!

London & Brighton marathons postponed.

London marathon NSPCC Soft Tissue team

The tough but correct decision.

I have been the manager of the NSPCC Soft Tissue teams for the past 8 years supervising the 30 therapists at the London marathon post race reception for the NSPCC fund raisers and also for the Brighton marathon too, and it's so sad to see these great events postponed due to the current health concerns.

This is such a shame for all those who have trained so hard for these events, but it is obviously the correct decision as these events can be run later in the year.

I would like to thank all those who had volunteered for the NSPCC Soft Tissue teams for these marathons, and I hope that everyone stays safe and healthy and I look forward to seeing everyone later in the year.

My clinic in Headington remains open, and I am continuing to take every precaution with cleanliness, as I always have, to ensure the most professional environment available for my clients.

Return To Normality After The FA Cup

Now it’s back to business!

After a very exciting night under the floodlights yesterday, it is back to my clinic for the next couple of days before returning to Oxford Utd on Friday to help the team physically prepare for Saturday's league game.

It is always a highlight to share the experience of a large occasion with Oxford Utd, and yesterday was no exception.  To see the players all give 100% on the pitch over 120 mins is so rewarding for the medical team, and although the FA Cup run was a nice distraction, it is back to business and concentrate on the league and our aim of promotion this season.

Due to Friday's extra session with Oxford Utd, and I am also attending an athletics meeting on Saturday, mean that my clinic spaces are more limited than usual this week, so please let me know asap if you would like to book an appt.

Enjoying Success With My Team!

With My Headington Youth U16’s Football Team

I am a very proud coach & shirt sponsor of Headington Youth U16's Football Team and seeing them win their quarter final against a Witney A League team 3-1 to progress to the semi final of the Oxfordshire FA Youth Cup is one of those days where all the time, money and stress of organising & sponsoring a youth sports team pays off.

I am so lucky to have a team made up from players who enjoy playing alongside their team mates win, lose or draw!

Headington Youth U16’s Qualify for the Oxfordshire FA County Cup Quarter Finals!

I am one very proud Dad, coach, kit sponsor and general 'taxi driver' seeing my Headington Youth football team qualify for the last 8 of the Oxfordshire County Cup yesterday beating Thame Colts 4-2!

I run the team to encourage a relaxed and fun atmosphere for the lads to enjoy playing their game and although it isn't the winning that matters it is always fantastic to see them get their rewards playing the game as it should be played!

Returning to lecture at Oxford Brookes University

Full use of the props.

In full flow!

2019 Midwifery Lecture for Oxford Brookes University Midwifery Students

I was honoured to be invited back to Oxford Brookes University to deliver my 'Birthing Positions for Midwives' lecture and workshop for the 3rd year midwifery students.

This was designed by me last year to express the importance of keeping an aligned posture whilst working as a midwife to prevent back pain caused by the various positions midwives work in just prior to graduating and starting on their long and rewarding careers.
