Joe graduated from Coventry University in 2022 with a First-Class degree in Physiotherapy. He began working within the NHS in a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist role, gaining experience in the assessment and rehabilitation of acute and chronic conditions, as well as elective and traumatic surgeries. Joe’s skills and knowledge have been widened through exposure to professional football, having also worked in physiotherapist roles at Coventry City F.C and Newcastle United Women’s FC.

Joe’s background is strongly linked with a passion for sport and performance, which he developed through a 6-year youth career at Nottingham Forest Football Club, and later a football scholarship in Florida, USA. Stemming from this, Joe now has keen interest in athletic performance testing within physiotherapy; a specialism facilitated by state-of-the-art technology available at JP Physio.

Joe’s aim is to facilitate people to perform and feel better in sport and in life. Since relocating from Derby to Newcastle, Joe enjoys spending free time trekking in the hills or by the coast. He is now happy to call the North-East home but feels the number 9 shirt at Real Madrid would still be considered and insists a late bid can’t be ruled out!

Matthew graduated from Teesside University in 2021 with a degree in Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation before completing a Master’s in Physiotherapy in early 2023.

He began working in private practice as a Sports Rehabilitator, treating both athletes and non-athletes alike, before transitioning into occupational health. He now works as an MSK Physiotherapist with Durham County Council, helping individuals manage and recover from musculoskeletal conditions.

His passion for physiotherapy was sparked by a personal experience with an ACL rupture that sidelined his football career. While football is now in the past, he continues to stay active through running and strength training.

With a strong interest in both sports-related injuries and persistent pain conditions, Matthew is dedicated to helping patients optimise their performance and recovery. He prioritises clear, honest, and evidence-based advice, ensuring patients receive guidance that is both practical and relevant to their rehabilitation journey.
