Jonathan Ellsmore
Jonathan has been working as a fully qualified Sports Therapist since 2007; treating a variety of people from football players, runners, golfers and cyclists, to those suffering from work-related conditions. He is also a qualified Personal Trainer.
I am a keen cyclist and in my spare time I can often be found whizzing along Surrey's lanes or wheezing my way up Box Hill or the like. Other sporting interests include golf and cricket, although I play far too infrequently to be any good! I have also rediscovered running, having recovered from a knee condition and will be taking part in triathlons.
A major interest of my sports therapy work is posture and it's effects on every-day function and sporting performance. Unfortunately, today's lifestyle - working at computers, driving cars, watching television, i.e. long periods of sitting - can lead to muscular imbalances which can result in aches and pains and injuries. Often, simply improving posture can produce profound improvements in someone's condition.
My highlight as a Sports Therapist so far was providing day-to-day support for a charity cycle ride of the entire 2007 Tour de France route.
