Paul now runs a bespoke clinic in Hexham, Northumberland and has a unique setup for clients to personally experience his elite level physiotherapy, medical acupuncture, biomechanics, ultrasound imaging, shockwave therapy and injection services.

The move away from running large busy clinics and fast paced daily clinical work has been challenging at times, but new ventures in the healthcare industry require the full scope of his expertise. When not in the clinical setting, Paul’s time is spent consulting for a wide variety of healthcare companies all over the globe. Paul travels a great deal and can be found teaching, mentoring or treating the very best in class across all continents.

As an ex-international athlete himself – representing Great Britain from 1988 – 2003 in kayaking – Paul fully understands the needs and challenges faced by sports enthusiasts at every level.

Having amassed a great deal of sport-specific clinical knowledge and expertise whilst treating multiple stars of sport and entertainment, as well as working with Olympic teams on request, Paul has also worked with a vast array of general medical conditions, ranging from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME) to Osteoarthritis.

Paul is a best selling Author of two books, ‘Running Free of Injuries’ and ‘The Runners Expert Guide to Stretching’. A father of three, an avid swimmer and a very average road cyclist(!), he does what he can to continue to compete and favours the 10km swim distance (The swimmers marathon) to most other forms of competition.

Paul is the Official Physio for the TCS marathon and writes for a plethora of publications including Runners World, The Guardian, The Times and has been on TV many times as the resident expert.

Coming to see Paul at Hobrough Healthcare is often the final attempt for many people, to get to the bottom of their injuries. Paul is used to seeing complex cases and patients who have already invested a great deal in their journey to become pain free.

“This is my last attempt – if this doesn’t work, I will give up!” is one of the most quoted statements from patients in the Hobrough-Healthcare clinic. His success rates are phenomenal, with client success stories adorning his first book, Google reviews and Facebook (which are always gratefully received).

In clinic, you immediately notice the personalised signed Olympic vests hanging on the wall, from some of the best athletes the world has ever seen all of whom have benefited from Paul’s knowledge and skills at some point in their pursuit of excellence.
