Exceptional injury analysis allowing reduced injury and enhanced performance.
As Injuries are complex and multifaceted, our Initial assessment, will focus on understanding the history and the mechanism of injury and how the bio-mechanical impact your sport / lifestyle places on your body. This is followed by completing a full musculoskeletal assessment, which helps identify the source of the exact issues.
Our assessments, diagnosis and treatments are completed through a combination of methods that may include: manual therapy, manipulation and dry needling; modalities such as IASMT, taping, Cupping, Ultrasound, TENS and exercise prescription. Education plays an important role, and our teams goals are to return you to your optimal function and strength, while educating you about your injury. This allows you to independently maintain a healthy body without the constant supervision of a therapist, which is key in reducing recovery times and optimising performance and movement.

An example of the typical Injuries we treat are:
• Ligament and joint Sprains and Strains
• Muscle Strains and tears
• Tennis / Golfers Elbow
• Running Injuries – Plantar Fasciitis, Shin Splints, Achilies tendinopathies, stress fractures etc.
• Bio-mechanical irregularities
• Illiotibial Band Syndrome (ITB)
• Sciatica
• Pre and Post Operative rehabilitation.
• Rotator Cuff Injuries
• Spinal Disk related Injuries.

My journey into physiotherapy began when I qualified from the University of Herfordshire with a first class honours degree. Since then, I have worked as a rotational physiotherapist at Medway Hospital and even worked as an acute respiratory physiotherapist in intensive care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although this experience gave me great insight into acute illnesses, different neurological conditions and orthopaedic injuries; I knew my clinical skills could be pushed further. Thus I made the move to outpatient physiotherapy, where i have solidified and become experienced in diagnosis, treatments and rehabilitation for those with musculoskeletal issues and joint pain.

I have a keen interest in the body’s biomechanics and skeletal system and love educating and empowering clients to in understanding their diagnosis.

I have a passion for strength and conditioning fitness, so you may have seen me in a few SISU classes!… I believe this enhances my understanding of how musculoskeletal issues can impact on your whole lifestyle and not just movement in isolation. I enjoy using strength and conditioning techniques as a means of treatment to empower clients and enhance overall health.

Outside of physio (and the gym!), I enjoy snow sports, spending time with family and friends … plus the occasional bottomless brunch or two !

Meet John

Founder, Sports Therapist, Movement specialist, PT, Rehab guru and Run Lab technician.

John has a huge passion for movement correction and performance optimisation. After qualifying from university with a BSc(hons) in Sports Therapy, he moved to the USA to further his education and knowledge. On returning a few years later he launched 8th Element with the sight to create an ‘all under one roof’ hub, where expert assessments, advice, treatments and education can be provided to everyone of all abilities at an affordable cost.

Alongside the management of the hub and his continued thirst for knowledge, John assesses Injuries, provides treatments and rehab using a wide range of modalities, including soft tissue and imbalance correction. He loves identifying postural weakness, imbalances and restrictions that are the contributing factors to injuries and performance deficits. Once identified, the rehab, release and education begins.

Over the years, he’s helped a huge range of workers and athletes from those who have been told they can’t be helped to those looking to shave off tenths of a second from their PBs.

As well as Injury assessments and rehab, John is proud to be able to offer and run the rare markerless 3D run lab. One of only a handful in the UK, its abilities are pushing technology to the edge, allowing for injury prediction, prevention and understanding while also allowing for performance enhancement.

I have worked within the sporting world for over 12 years now, my love for coaching started with and continues to be with gymnastics. My own sporting background is as a martial artist, training up until my early 20s when a hip injury resulted in me stopping. As a result of this I have continued my career within sport as a coach and further developed my skills within the world of sports injury and rehabilitation.

Over the past 7 years I have gained qualifications in advanced sports massage therapy using different modalities of soft tissue techniques to aid recovery, exercise rehabilitation and more recently strength and conditioning coaching.

I am a firm believer that working together, empowering and motivating patients to participate actively in rehabilitation through education and guidance is the most successful way to tackle injury or achieve a goal. An ethos I strive to implement into each session.

Over the last three years I have been lucky enough to gain experience at both ends of the spectrum, working with national level gymnast helping with injury prevention, recovering and general strength and conditioning programmes. And also with the general public within GP settings as a physio assistant, helping people recover and manage with more degenerative MSK scenarios such as osteoarthritis and long term joint replacement rehabilitation.

I’m very much looking forward to putting this all into practise at 8th element working and along side the experienced team at hand and the amazing clients.
