my Story
I have been in and around sport and training for most of my life. I competed in tennis and powerlifting before finding bodybuilding, and when I eventually stepped on stage it was not because I had a point to prove to anyone else. I wanted to test myself. I wanted to know what I was actually capable of when I pushed my body and mind as far as they could go. Bodybuilding gave me that.
Along the way I picked up injuries, as every athlete does. And what those injuries taught me had nothing to do with resting. What they taught me is that I was never going to stop training, and I suspect most people reading this feel exactly the same way. The standard advice to rest and wait it out never sat right with me as a patient, so I stopped giving it as a physio. Instead I learned how to train around pain, how to keep moving while the body heals, and how to actually get stronger through the process.
Why RC Phys exists
Over ten years of practising physiotherapy, I have worked with all kinds of people across all kinds of goals. Athletes, weekend warriors, people who just want to move without hurting. What I kept seeing was a gap between what physios were telling people to do and what people were actually going to do. Most people are not going to stop training completely. They need someone who understands that and can work with it.
RC Phys is where my experience as a physio, a coach, and a competitive athlete all come together. It exists because I believe you should not have to choose between recovering and training. With the right knowledge and the right approach, you can do both.
