About Tim Trevail

I'm a clinician, senior academic, researcher and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt based in Melbourne, Australia.

​

My clinical work has focused predominantly on sport and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. I've worked across private practice and sporting environments in the UK and Australia, including more than a decade in rugby, with experience spanning acute injury management, rehabilitation and return to sport.

​

More recently, I've increasingly focused my clinical work on jiu-jitsu and combat sports athletes through Black Belt Rehab.

​

Education and research

Alongside clinical practice, I work in higher education and am completing a PhD investigating physical activity and persistent musculoskeletal pain.

​

My academic interests include sports and exercise medicine, rehabilitation, pain, physical activity and healthcare education. I particularly enjoy translating research into practical information that clinicians, coaches and athletes can actually use.

​

 ​Qualifications include: 

• PhD(c)

• MSc Sports and Exercise Medicine

• PG Dip Learning and Teaching

• BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy

​

Professional Memberships: 

• Sports Medicine Australia (full professional member)

• Myotherapy Association of Australia (associate member)

• Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy

​

Jiu-jitsu

I've trained in martial arts for more than 20 years and hold a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Lachlan Giles. That experience strongly influences my interest in helping grapplers navigate injury without losing sight of the demands and culture of the sport.
