About Dominic

Dominic is a Sports Therapist with experience across both clinical and sporting environments, supporting people through assessment, rehabilitation, hands-on treatment and one-to-one personal fitness training. His work includes sports massage, dry needling, taping, strength training, pitch-side support and tailored rehabilitation, with a strong focus on safe, effective recovery, improved fitness and return to activity.

He works with a wide range of muscle, tendon and movement-related injuries, helping patients understand what is causing their pain and what to do next. His approach combines clear assessment, progressive rehabilitation and practical treatment with structured exercise, supporting recovery, improved strength and long-term resilience.

Dominic has experience across the full recovery pathway, from early injury management through to return to sport, training and everyday activity. He has a particular interest in common sports injuries, training overload and the often unclear space between continuing to train and knowing when to pause. His clinical thinking reflects the importance of monitoring symptoms, strength, swelling, movement and confidence throughout rehabilitation.

His interest in sports therapy developed from a lifelong involvement in sport. Having grown up taking part in a wide range of activities, he developed a strong understanding of the physical demands of training and competition. This led him to pursue a career in sport-related healthcare, choosing sports therapy as the discipline that best aligned with his goal of helping people recover well, become stronger and return to doing what matters to them.

How Dominic can help

Dominic supports patients with a range of sports injuries, movement-related problems and fitness goals. Sports therapy is commonly used to help with muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendon overload and injuries related to training or physical activity. Dominic also offers gait analysis for runners and is qualified in soft tissue massage and dry needling, with additional qualifications in triathlon coaching.

Alongside one-to-one sports therapy and rehabilitation, Dominic delivers fitness training, strength training, Life Fit classes and Men’s Pilates. These sessions are designed to help people improve strength, mobility, balance, control and confidence in a structured and supportive environment.

Dominic is particularly well placed to support people with sports injuries, recurring niggles, overload from training, reduced strength or confidence following injury and those working towards a safe return to activity. His approach also suits individuals looking for guidance around rehabilitation, recovery, load management, fitness and performance-related concerns.

How Dominic works

Dominic takes a structured, assessment-led approach. He begins by understanding how the injury occurred, how symptoms are behaving, what the body can currently tolerate and what the individual wants to achieve. From there, he builds a progressive rehabilitation, strength or fitness plan tailored to the person.

Treatment may include hands-on therapy, sports massage, dry needling, taping, rehabilitation exercises, strength training and advice on training and activity levels. He focuses on creating a clear, realistic pathway forward, helping patients understand when to continue, when to modify and when to rest.

In classes and training sessions, Dominic provides clear instruction and appropriate progression, helping each person work at a suitable level while continuing to build strength, control and confidence.

His aim is not only to support recovery, but to reduce the risk of recurrence by addressing strength, movement patterns and load management.

What to expect

At your first appointment, Dominic will carry out a detailed assessment, including discussion of your injury, symptoms, activity levels and goals. This is followed by a physical assessment and an initial plan for treatment, rehabilitation or training.

Sessions are tailored to the individual and may include hands-on treatment, exercise-based rehabilitation, strength training, taping and practical advice to support recovery and progress between appointments.
Those attending Life Fit classes or Men’s Pilates can expect structured, supportive sessions focused on improving strength, mobility, balance and movement quality. Exercises can be adapted to suit different levels of experience and ability.

Dominic’s approach is clear and collaborative, helping people understand their injury or training needs, know what to do next and feel confident progressing safely.
