Meet Sarah

Online Performance Physiotherapist

Sarah works with runners and endurance athletes to move from injury → performance — returning stronger, smarter, and more resilient than before.

With a special interest in running-related and lower limb injuries, she specialises in rehabilitation and structured return-to-performance following complex, persistent, or recurrent issues.

Holding a PhD focused on ACL reconstruction outcomes, Sarah combines research-level insight with over 10 years of international clinical experience across NZ, Australia, and the UK. From recreational athletes to elite sport, she brings a thorough, analytical approach to solving complex cases.

Special Interests
• Lower limb rehabilitation & performance
• ACL reconstruction & complex knee injuries
• Running-related injuries
• Return-to-sport planning
• Injury prevention & performance optimisation

Sarah is currently Lead Physiotherapist at Team Bath (UK), supporting athletes across endurance, rowing, and team field sports.

She works remotely with athletes across NZ and internationally via structured online consultations and rehab planning through ASCEND.

Outside of work, you’ll see her training for her next triathlon race, lining up at endurance events or somewhere on a trail run ⛰️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♀️

Meet Ed

Physio & Performance Coach
Founder of Ascend

I help athletes and active individuals move from rehab → performance — building strength, speed, and confidence beyond pain.

As both an athlete and a coach, I understand the physical demands of sport and frustration of injury, bridging the gap between recovery and performance.

Special Interests
• Running mechanics & sprint development
• Return to sport/ performance
• Movement analysis
• Strength & conditioning integration

Outside the clinic, I’m usually busy sprinting & jumping around and building sandcastles at the track or trying hard just to be an average golfer ⛳️🏌️

Strength alone doesn’t automatically become better movement.

Many rehab programs rebuild muscle — but stop before the body relearns how to apply force under real-life demands.

Running, sport, and daily movement are elastic, timed, and coordinated.
Without transfer, strength stays trapped in the gym.

Good rehab doesn’t end at pain-free.
It finishes when strength shows up in movement.

That bridge is where performance is rebuilt.
