Biography
John is a keen runner and is active in the London running community. Due to his love of running, he has specialised in running-related injuries and has presented to many running clubs in the city on how to reduce the likelihood of injury, cadence and more. He also enjoys treating knee and shoulder injuries.
John has taken on many long-distance races, such as marathons and half-marathons, and when training he’ll run over 100km per week, so he understands the demands running places on the body, as well as the correct strategies to undertake when training with or around an injury. He also understands what its like when you are unable to run due to an injury and the toll that can take both physically and mentally.
John has gained extensive experience through working in multiple settings in the NHS as a Senior Physiotherapist, where he supervised Junior Physiotherapists and Physiotherapy students. He also has comprehensive experience working in private practice and sport including athletics, Gaelic football, football and rugby.
During his treatments, John uses a variety of techniques including hands-on treatment, individualised exercise prescription, acupuncture, dry needling, and running gait analysis to achieve the best possible outcome for his patients, and following the successful completion of a non-medical prescription masters module, John is a qualified independent prescriber and and can therefore prescribe medication within his own scope pf practice.
He enjoys skiing and is a fully qualified sailing instructor having sailed for many years in the West of Ireland where he grew up.
