What people have to say about
Kintsugi Physio and Coaching services:"I can't thank Brad enough for the incredible help he's given me with my lower back injury. Not only is Brad a skilled professional, but also truly cares about his clients' well-being. He was able to assess my injury quickly, providing personalised exercises and treatments that made a huge difference in such a short period of time. The progress I've made has been amazing, and I feel stronger and more confident than ever. I highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for effective and compassionate physiotherapy. You're in great hands!"

"Working with Brad to rehabilitate my rotator cuff injury has been nothing short of amazing! I’ve always been reluctant to stick with physio as I didn’t really see the results with previous injuries but after Brad’s guidance and plan put in place for me, I am recovering faster than I expected. Seeing major improvements week by week! Highly recommend!!"

"Brad has been very helpful in rehabilitating me after my knee surgery.
He has a thorough understanding of the mechanics of the human body and has helped me in ways that no other professional physiotherapist has been able to.I’ve always performed to a fairly high standard in sports and recreation and have worked with quite a few physios; Brad has helped me more than any.
He explains things clearly and with such depth of knowledge I really feel I understand my body better because of his advice.
I particularly understand how to walk better which is something we all obviously take for granted!I get the feeling my life is going to be very much improved because of all that Brad has taught me about my knee and the way I move. I cannot thank him enough. My whole experience has been amazing. I’m very grateful for all you’ve done."

"Brad has been instilling confidence and belief in me from day 1. His patience is second-to-none, his technical knowledge and the way he imparts this to me makes complete sense during our sessions together. Before I met Brad, I was an unfit person with little motivation - Brad always believes in me, is cheerful, inspiring and understands when I have “bad days”, aiming to achieve a positive outcome by the end of each session.I have recently been diagnosed with a lifelong health condition and have started training with Brad again after a period of inactivity - he has taken me “back to basics” and it feels like we are on a journey together with him beside me every step of the way.Brad is a very easy person to get along with - he is a very good listener and takes the time to really understand my issues before working hard to resolve them with me. I always feel better for having worked with Brad during our PT sessions.He is motivated by getting a good outcome for his clients every session. Brad is passionate about helping his clients to reach their goals. I have no hesitation in recommending Brad."

"Working with Brad has been an absolute delight. From the outset, Brad adeptly identified my unique goals, needs, and challenges. He crafted a bespoke plan that laid out a clear and straightforward path. Regular check-ins and readily available assistance have not only guided me but propelled me to consistently surpass goals and achieve milestones.Brad's perpetual motivation and encouragement create an uplifting atmosphere throughout the entire process. His willingness to share both experience and expertise adds an extra layer of value to the collaboration, making the journey not only effective but also enriching.This to me is some crazy changes in such a small period of time! The confidence it’s installing is awesome and the performance output so far has been really exciting!I definitely see more and more how much of a mind set this is rather than just being able to physically do something! Forming that habit and making it a life style change is so impressive.If you’re looking for a PT who offers a personal, bespoke and professional approach Brad is the person for you!"

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help with my knee injury. Your online consultation made a massive difference. I was able to keep snowboarding and mountaineering throughout the season because of your advice. You're incredibly good at both explaining and actually helping, and I really appreciate how you followed up to check on my progress. That level of care means a lot.
You saved my ski season and will definitely be my go to any time I have an injury.
l'll definitely be recommending you to anyone in need of a great physio!"

"Brad is an excellent physio who has a high level of knowledge, quickly and easily found the problem in my hips and gave me a series of exercises which have helped me to get better and get back to training better than before. Furthermore he was able to adapt the exercises to focus on key mechanics within my sport.
Would 100% refer him to anyone especially athletes recovering from an injury."

Online Coaching
Getting into the best shape of your life is hard —
but it doesn’t have to be complicated
and staying motivated shouldn’t feel like a daily battle.What we look like, what we feel like, and what we're capable of doing is determined by our movement, food, sleep, and habits. If the lifestyle you're living isn't enjoyable or sustainable long-term then the results you get from all the hard work won't be long-term either.The majority of my in-person PT clients stayed with me for the whole 5 years I ran my business and private gym, because quick-fixes and the results don't last, but the results from sustainable lifestyles do.Online coaching is for you if any of these feel familiar:
- You are motivated and ready to start getting results but you don't know where to start and would like to skip the trial and error of every fad diet and "revolutionary new training program".
- You know what to do, but no matter how hard you try; you can't get yourself to stay consistent and would benefit from someone to help you with accountability.
- You're already doing well but want to take your performance to the next level.
- Like to be able to workout independently rather than 1-to-1 with a personal trainer.With online coaching you will:
- Build a lifestyle around doing exercise you enjoy, eating food you love, and sleeping like a baby to recover well enough to be ready to go again the next day.
- Improve your relationship with food and understand how to lose/gain weight sustainably whilst enjoying what you eat and fuelling for optimal performance.
- Optimise your training to build muscle, strength, power, speed, mobility, and cardiovascular function.
- Sleep well and recover properly."From the outset, Brad adeptly identified my unique goals, needs, and challenges. He crafted a bespoke plan that laid out a clear and straightforward path. Regular check-ins and readily available assistance have not only guided me but propelled me to consistently surpass goals and achieve milestones."Online Coaching cost:
