Physiotherapist. Former strength & conditioning coach. Straight talker.
I'm a chartered physiotherapist (MCSP) and HCPC registered, based in Benton, with a background in personal training and strength & conditioning spanning over a decade.
That background shapes how I work. I don't just treat the injury. I help you understand it and build back stronger. Whether you're dealing with a long-standing issue or something more recent, you'll get a proper assessment, a clear plan, and hands-on treatment from someone who's worked with bodies professionally for years.
Alongside the clinic I work at Northumbria University as a physiotherapist, clinical educator and mentor, helping train the physiotherapists coming through behind me. Teaching keeps you honest. You cannot explain something clearly unless you properly understand it, and that feeds straight back into how I work with patients.
Physio with Dean is a solo clinic, which means every appointment is with me, every time.
Treatment without a clear diagnosis is guesswork. Your first appointment is a thorough assessment, and you'll leave knowing what's wrong and why.
If you need three sessions, I'll say three, not ten. And if physio isn't the right answer for you, I'll tell you that too and point you in the right direction.
My S&C background means your plan doesn't stop at "pain-free". It gets you strong enough that the problem is far less likely to come back.
