Special Interests:

Before life as a physiotherapist, Rob studied a BSc (Hons) in Sports Science, graduating from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge in 2005. This provided him with opportunities to work with talented college athletes, testing physiological limitations and providing training data to improve athletic performance. Rob completed a dissertation on blood lactate threshold and its relationship to distance running. After completing his Sports Science degree, he moved to the Northwest and worked within the fitness industry for a few years, gaining Register of Exercise Professionals level 3 status. He provided a personal training service to athletes, tailoring exercise programmes to golfers, runners and cyclists. Rob naturally progressed by studying Physiotherapy at Manchester Metropolitan University. Rob completed his dissertation on soft tissue release techniques and their role within muscle imbalance. Since graduating in 2009, Rob has worked in several private practices, a private orthopaedic hospital and within the NHS, gaining knowledge, skills and qualifications including Pilates. During that time, he completed rotational NHS posts within neurological and orthopaedic wards, as well as musculoskeletal outpatient departments. In his latter years in the NHS, he has worked as a First Contact Physiotherapist for Queen Square Surgery in Lancaster.

In January 2015, while still working within the NHS, Rob started RGB Physiotherapy and Sports Injuries Clinic based in The Centre @ Halton which, by 2016, became Fairway Physio, moving into larger premises within Lancaster Golf Club. Previously working across multiple sports within physiotherapy and the fitness industry gave him the skills and experience to train and rehabilitate athletes who require mobility, stability and rotational power. Rob has since completed the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) level 1 body-swing connection certification, allowing him to deliver the highest quality golf specific screening to our clients. Rob likes to treat patients with a combination of hands-on therapy skills and progressive exercise rehabilitation that allows patients to move better and perform better than before their injury.

Outside of work, Rob married his wife Daphne in 2011. They travelled around Asia for a year on their honeymoon, and have two gorgeous girls who keep them busy. As a family, they love to walk and head to the Lake District as often as possible. Rob plays golf and squash as much as he can and likes to get out for a cycle ride in the Trough of Bowland every now and then.
