Conditions treated
Pick the area and you'll find what's likely going on, how I treat it, and people I've already helped with the same problem.
Why a sports therapist
Sports Therapists, Physiotherapists and Sports Massage Therapists. Thery are all slightly different and here I explain each one so you can decide who best to see.
That's me
A Science based degree. Qualified to assess, clinically diagnose, treat and rehabilitate complex musculoskeletal injury with a hands on approach including the use of Sports Massage, joint mobilisations, electrotherapy and exercise rehab
Broad medical
A medical based degree covering areas such paediatrics, cardiac rehab, neurology and musculoskeletal. Excellent for hospital rehab, but often a more hands-off approach in clinic.
Massage only
Great for tight muscles and recovery. Level 5 Therapists are trained in basic assessment but not able to clinically diagnose injury. Good for generic massage treatments and basic injury management
Long-term back pain
A lot of the people I see have already tried physio, massage and months of painkillers. Over 20 years I've built my own treatment protocols, combining manipulation, dry needling, soft tissue work and targeted rehab, for exactly those stubborn cases.
How I treat back pain →How it works
Assessment & diagnosis: We talk through what's happening, then I test movement, strength, posture and breathing mechanics to find the cause, not just treat the symptoms and pain.
Treatment starts in your first session: soft tissue work, manipulation and mobilisation, dry needling or taping, whatever the problem needs.
You leave with exercises to rebuild strength and a plan to stop it coming back, whether that's race day or just getting through the working week.
Case studies
Within only a few sessions my back pain had as good as vanished. He explains things clearly and does not blind with science.

If you are wondering whether massage makes any difference – it's settled. It needs to be part of any endurance athlete's kit bag.

About Gary
I’m Gary Ling, a fully registered member of The Society of Sports Therapists.
Also a Buteyko and Oxygen Advantage instructor.
I spent a decade in the head physio role within non-league football and five years with Southend United’s Centre of Excellence before focusing on the clinic full-time. I specialise in treating, rehabilitating and conditioning professional, amateur and recreational athletes from young children to the more mature patients.
As a Buteyko instructor I also treat patients whom suffer from breathing related conditions such as Asthma, Anxiety, Sleep disorders, COPD, ADHD, inflammatory conditions such as IBS and Fibromyalgia and general breathlessness issues.
As an advanced Oxygen Advantage instructor I work with athletes and sports people to help them enhance their athletic and sporting performance by optimising their breathing and respiratory habits and fitness.
No long questionnaire. Just a rough idea of the problem and the best way to reach you.
