A curated collection of sports physiotherapy articles focused on rehabilitation, performance and return to sport.
Start here.
These articles reflect how I think about movement, rehabilitation and performance—drawn from clinical practice and elite sport.
Using the Reset–Reinforce–Reload Strategy
This outlines how I progressed athletes from restoring movement through to performance during my time with the China Women’s Volleyball team. It’s a practical framework for deciding what to do next—not just what’s wrong.
Regional Interdependence in Action
A case-based example of how symptoms often sit downstream from the real problem. This is about learning to follow the pattern, not chase the pain.

Jumping Performance
Developing speed, elasticity and movement efficiency for jumping sports.
Jump Performance Series (4-part)
This series builds a structured view of jumping—from capacity and control through to elastic performance. It’s less about drills, more about understanding what actually changes output.
Want to apply this to running and conditioning?
Return to Running & Load Progression
A structured entry point into running for those returning from injury or deconditioning. This is about building capacity progressively—not just getting through distance.
The 3-Speed Approach to Faster Running and Better Health
How would you like to reduce your 2-mile or 3km running time by double-digit percentages in 7 weeks? Read on...
Injury Resilience & Load Management
Bulletproofing the Volleyball Shoulder
Shoulder resilience isn’t built through isolated strength alone. This explores how load, position and control interact in overhead athletes.
Bulletproofing the Volleyball Knee
Knee robustness comes from how force is absorbed and transferred, not just how strong it is. This reframes how we approach “protection.”
Mobility & Movement
Improving movement quality through targeted mobility and control strategies.
Hip mobility isn’t just range—it’s usable motion under load. This piece looks at how to maintain it without creating instability elsewhere.
Thoracic Mobility — Giving It an Assist
When thoracic movement is limited, the body finds a way around it. This explores how to assist motion without forcing it and creating compensation.
The Role of Mobility Interventions in Handling Chronic Stress
Moving in ways that are both enjoyable and non-threatening are effective are playing a role in reducing stress hormones. This article explores the hows, whys and whats on this topic.
Clinical & Systems Thinking
Expanding how we interpret movement, behaviour and rehabilitation.
Exercise as Medicine & Behaviour
This goes beyond dosage and into behaviour—why people engage, disengage, and how that affects outcomes. It’s as much about psychology as physiology.
Visceral & Lymphatic Considerations
An introduction to factors often ignored in standard musculoskeletal models. Not a replacement for MSK thinking—but a layer that can explain what doesn’t fit.
Coaching & Communication
Movement change isn’t just about the exercise—it’s about how it’s delivered. This explores how feedback shapes outcome.
Building on Part 1, this looks at how to refine communication to create consistent and repeatable movement changes.
