"It all started with a love for sport a long time ago now and over five years as a professional golfer based at Little Aston Golf Club in the West Midlands. Then after a long period in the world of sleeping globally I was then given the chance to apply my knowledge, to my my local football club Manchester United in 1997. Working alongside Dave Fevre the physiotherapist at the time, helping Gary Pallister combat his severe postural concerns. From that point things just took off. I supported the England Squad in the world cup 1998, have been involved with many leading premiership clubs, the national squad again at Euro 2004, 2006 cup final, as well as a few key business professionals along the way.
Even a few bizarre media moments,like being asked to appear on "ready steady cook" I have  the green pepper apron to prove it and lost to a crooked red pepper...

Recently sleeping recovery management in sport has become an even more important issue to protect performance. My client base now is far more varied providing new experiences and knowledge all the time and now includes, Professional Football, Cricket, Rugby, Cycling, Cyclo Cross, Triathlon and Olympic athletes across many disciplines on a growing international basis.
The work I do is somewhat unique but the reward I get is experiencing the immediate benefits an athlete discovers from some simple and practical changes"
