Laurence, shoulder injury, CrossFit

"While my long journey continues, we have reintroduced many once-inaccessible exercises and I trust Pete's expertise completely. Previous professionals…could not help me progress at all over long periods of time or lacked a good understanding of CrossFit and the range of exercises."
Persistent shoulder joint issues including tears of the rotator cuff, impingement and recurrent sub-acromial inflammation can be the bane of overhead athletes.  MRI scans, shoulder surgeon opinions, and steroid injections preceded Laurence working with Pete's sports rehab expertise. He's now back working overhead with barbells and more.
"Pete was recommended to me by my local CrossFit Affiliate."

"I have had shoulder problems for two years with an MRI showing a  small cuff tear, tendonitis and bursitis. I’d been treated for over 18 months already by two physios and an osteopath. This relates to over-training my shoulder in loaded and overhead positions. Since then I have seen Pete on average of once every two or three weeks for approaching a year."
 
"I have been very impressed with Pete’s understanding of my situation and his clinical skills.  He has a good understanding of the broad range of workouts that CrossFit requires as well as the level of intensity and repetition these can require. Pete undertakes  HIIT himself and he also has family connections to the CrossFit sector ."

​"I would certainly recommend Pete as a physiotherapist for CrossFit athletes."
 "While my long journey continues, we have reintroduced many once-inaccessible exercises and I trust his expertise completely."

"My technique in several CrossFit staples has improved significantly under Pete’s supervision as we have broken them down and focused on improved  control in order to prevent future irritation of my shoulder."
 
"Compared to my previous experience of physiotherapists/osteopaths I would say Pete offers an excellent balance of technical knowledge with a pragmatic and results focused attitude."

​"Previous professionals I have used for periods as long as 6 months with weekly appointments have either been technically competent but strongly risk adverse, and therefore could not help me progress at all over long periods of time, or lacked a good understanding of CrossFit and the range of exercises my shoulder injury impacted on. Neither of these can be said of Pete."
