Ashley graduated from Coventry University and brings with him experience from a variety of clinical placements, including a specialist spinal rehabilitation placement at Stoke Mandeville. He also spent the 2023–24 season working within professional football at Solihull Moors FC, gaining valuable experience in sports injury management and rehabilitation. His passion for physiotherapy began long before university. Having experienced his own fair share of injuries growing up, as well as supporting his dad through two ACL reconstructions, Ashley saw first-hand the impact physiotherapy can have on recovery, confidence, and quality of life. Outside of the clinic, Ashley is a keen footballer, golfer, and more recently has taken up padel. He’s also a regular in the gym, combining strength training, conditioning, and injury prevention work to keep himself performing at his best.

And speaking of performing at his best, Ashley is part of the league-winning Newton-le-Willows FC squad. So whether it’s helping patients achieve their goals or chasing silverware on the football pitch, he understands the dedication, consistency, and resilience it takes to succeed. Ashley is passionate about helping people move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing what they love. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a long-term condition, or aiming to improve your sporting performance, he’ll work with you to achieve your goals.
