Introducing Callum Rogers:

Callum holds and Masters degree in physiotherapy and bachelors degree in sports rehabilitation and has previously worked in the Academy at Charlton Athletic Football Club and with Ramsgate football club as well within NHS settings.

I have personally known Callum for close on 20 years as he was a patient of mine when I worked in Ashford many years ago. Excuse the picture he’s a devout Tottenham fan so we have let him have his moment until we get him some Team Buckley merch and add him to the website !!

Callum has a specialist interest in Knee rehabilitation having suffered himself two Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures and surgical repairs during his football career which has led him having a specialist interest in the rehabilitation of knee injuries. These personal experiences have given him a unique perspective as a clinician—deepening his empathy, and reinforcing his passion for supporting others through their rehabilitation journey. He also enjoys treating and providing preventative rehabilitation in all aspects of musculoskeletal injury.

He has an eagerness to learn /develop and aligns with our values and culture that we have developed here at the clinic.

We look forward to having Callum in the team as we move forwards with new ideas and exciting projects.

Always a pleasure coming back to the University of Bath to teach on their renowned Master’s degree in Sports Physiotherapy

Manipulative techniques were very limited in much of my training except for in osteopathy where we taught from day 1 surface anatomy , palpation techniques and observed human anatomy at dissection labs. Manipulation techniques are often highly sort after by many patients and elite athletes that I have and do work with. When in combination with other modalities such as exercise rehabilitation can be an effective treatment for many.

I am now in my 13th year teaching these techniques at the university of Bath and have been teaching these techniques also within elite sports since 2009

Later in year I will open up this teaching to GP’s , consultants , chiropractors, physiotherapists and osteopaths looking to enhance their knowledge in this area.

Always appreciate the testimonials from my colleagues and for more details please look at my website https://www.teambuckleyphysio.co.uk/services/manipulation-teaching

Having worked with Andy on several occasions in both the elite competitive and teaching environments, I have always been impressed by his work ethic and dedication to both athletes and colleagues, ensuring he is sharing his wealth of knowledge, experience and skills. Andy’s expertise and delivery of relevant manual therapy and manipulative techniques embedded within clinical evidence-based teaching is excellent.

I have been teaching alongside Andy for a few years, and his sessions are engaging and adaptable to the learning needs of the participants. Furthermore, he is a highly professional, evidence-based clinician with excellent hands -on and manipulation skills.

Plantar fasciitis (PF)

is a classic repetitive stress type Injury that we commonly see in both a considered posturally normal foot , however , most commonly see it in those that demonstrate a pronated (flat foot type posture) that results in overstretching of the planter fascia during part of the walking/running gait cycle

The majority of PF cases are aged 40-60 years old and often present with pain when they first get up in the morning and putting their foot down only to ease after a few minutes of activity.

Patience - PF can be a very frustrating condition , however, the majority cases will settle overtime with appropriate activity modifications and therapeutic care.

Despite its annoying sound 🙂 -
Shockwave therapy is audible, low energy sound waves which target specific damage tissues within abnormal tendons. This is considered to increase blood flow to the injured are reducing pain, stimulating cell regeneration and healing.

Shockwave is commonly used for conditions which have may not have responded to traditional therapies and treatments.

Patients still need to be assessed as to they’re suitability for shockwave as there are some contraindications (see bottom of the post here). It is also important to note you must carry on with rehabilitation on the advice of your therapist and not rely solely on shockwave to restore strength and mobility.

It is commonly used for the following conditions:

> Achilles tendinopathy
> Patella tendinopathy
> Calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder
> Plantar fasciitis
>Proximal hamstring tendinopathy
>Tennis and golfers elbow
> Trochanteric hip pain often known as glute medius or Trochanteric bursitis

We offer competitive prices for shockwave therapy and some private health insurance companies will cover the cost (please check with your individual provider or ask us)
