Black Belt Rehab

JIU JITSU ATHLETE SERVICES

I offer specialist services for grappling and combat sports athletes to manage their pain and injuries. I understand first-hand the challenges of seeking health professional support from people who don't have experience in the sport or an understanding of the unique demands placed on athletes.

As a black belt with experience training and competing nationally and internationally, I understand the importance of mat time for your training progression and mental health. That's the reason I'll never tell you to stop training. We might agree that you need to take a few steps back in intensity and follow a return to grappling framework, but you'll never need to step away completely.

I worked for over 12 years in rugby, developing my diagnosis, treatment and rehab skills, and have 15 years of clinical experience in the UK and Australia. Much of my time is now given to my roles in education and research, but I'm fortunate to now focus my clinical time on working with combat sports and grappling athletes.

Here are a few reasons I'm well suited to working with grappling and combat sports athletes:

A black belt in Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu under Lachlan Giles
Master's thesis on injury prevention in combat sports completed, meaning I understand how to apply the research as it relates to injury prevention and performance enhancement for athletes in this sport
A current researcher in pain and physical activity, so I understand what's essential for physically active people to move past pain and injury
I have a solid understanding of the modern grappling game, including positional details which can contribute to injury. I can help you return to the mats sooner, with less chance of re-injury
Passionate about helping combat sports athletes spend more time on the mats doing the sport they love.
