REHAB. REDEFINED.

Think about it:
• Is your current clinic following up after your session?
• Are they invested in your goals?
• Or are you just another appointment on the list?

We work with Olympians and everyday athletes alike — because elite standards shouldn’t be reserved for elite names.

Don’t settle for average.

MOVEMENT ANALYSIS AT OPTIMUM DERBY 🏋🏼

This client was experiencing pain while squatting under load. Although we identified key areas during the clinical assessment, our advanced motion analysis software allowed us to further validate and refine our findings.

Swipe through the reps:
• Image 1 shows rep one
• Image 3 shows rep four
• The video captures how movement patterns evolved across multiple reps.

Following this detailed assessment, we created a targeted plan — and within just a week, the client began to feel the difference.

Struggling with pain or performance issues during movement? This is the level of insight that could make all the difference.

My story 📖

If you want more info please do read below but to summarise, these experiences cannot be just put into individual moments or individual memories but have formulated our current methodology at Optimum Derby, we listen to your thoughts, goals, aspirations and challenges or blockages. We will work with you to remove those challenges and utilise objective data to enhance your plan and programming.

It all started in 2012 when I graduated from University with a Sports Therapy degree, this gave me a platform to work on. There were pictures at university of placements with Tonga rugby, Samoa rugby, Gloucester rugby and my university graduation but I couldn’t find them amongst the albums.

2012/3 highlighted my first year working in football at Notts County on an internship, learning lots from more experienced staff and seeing injuries first hand.

2013 I left full time football for a clinical and consultancy role at Function Jigsaw. My first trip and maybe my love for travelling involved myself as a therapist on a London to Monte Carlo cycle ride.

2014 first work with GB snowsport to help reduce injury risk and improve the rehab pathway leading into 3 Olympics.

2018 involved a series of trips north to Edinburgh rugby to support their team in utilising objective data to reduce injury and optimise rehabilitation.

2019 was the first of a few trips with Jamie Green to Spa for the GT 24hr race. This was more about athlete support than injuries and rehab.

2021 was the inauguration of Optimum Derby, and the start of something new.

2021 also involved a rift of new roles with again athlete support and injury management being the key factors.

2022 was my first experience of professional cricket and what an eye opener that was. A new found respect for pro cricket. 22 also had work back at St George’s Park where things started with Notts County, corporate work and British Touring driver support.

2023 returned to GB snowsport for moguls working towards 2026 Olympics.

2024 the most happy year yet with our little addition to the team, Una.

That’s a wrap for the season with Moguls’s crew. 🇬🇧

World Championships in St Moritz was a great way to bring the season to a close.

Time off and summer training all in prep for the Winter Olympics in 2026.

SOME TESTIMONIALS FROM THIS WEEK

These are always great to hear from different clients, setting, sports and concerns. At Optimum we want to support all our clients, whether they are doing all of the big marathons or they’re learning to walk again post injury.

Picture 1 - completing the Tokyo marathon and all of the major marathons in under 2:50. Mark started his challenge after rupturing his ACL playing football 7/8 years ago. 🥇

Picture 2 - a little older testimonial but Dougie had a bad MTB crash whilst competing on the world circuit. Suffering with neck fractures and metal being placed in to stabilise. He returned to compete on the world stage and recently with Red Bull in Chile 🇨🇱

Picture 3 - another runner, this time just starting his journey to complete his first marathon and on the way he’s been to seek advice from Optimum. 🏃‍♂️

Picture 4 - another testimonial from this week and here Craig has had challenges with his diabetes for years and now has nerve damage in his legs. We spent most of the session discussing eating options and choices to manage his blood sugar levels. It’s the same applicable advice I used with my endurance athletes to not have too many peaks and troughs in their blood sugar levels. 🩸

Optimum are here to help your health problem, whether diabetes or spinal fractures we can certainly help you on your journey.

Guest lecturing 🏫

This week I presented to masters students at the University of Nottingham on the importance experiences and expertise I had learnt and accumulated over the last 10 years.

From British touring cars to the top of a mogul World Cup race, there are many similarities and crossovers. So many of the experiences in one sport are applicable to another and that outside the box tho king may just give that cutting edge.

Plenty of sliding this week for the last of my North American tour with moguls squad.

What an event at Deer Valley, spectacular event and spectacular show on the world’s hardest moguls course. Even just slipping down the side was a challenge.

A few weeks away from the slopes for me and back to the clinic and university teaching before World Championships in St Moritz in March.

An insight into the second competition in North America. 🇨🇦

Val St Come’s night race with had challenging weather conditions, dropping to -26 degrees at times. My red rubber mat became the most important piece of kit I packed along with the metal container as a “warm up” area. 🍁 a

Another great experience with some great skiing and progressions made towards the Winter Olympics in 2026. 🇮🇹

Onto the final show and biggest of the lot in Deer Valley. ⛷️
