Heading into my 29th year of working in predominately musculoskeletal therapy and enjoying it as much as I did from the first day of starting training.

I have been very fortunate to work and continue to work in a wide variety of clinical settings and although the glamour of working in professional sports is always a highlight it is not until you are in the NHS or private practice settings where your day-to-day work is not usually with the fittest healthiest people in the prime of their careers but with those who are severely limited day to day often with health concerns coexisting and complicating any quick progression.

You get truly humbled when one minute you are dealing with someone who is at their highest level of fitness with some back discomfort and then the next patient comes through the door in there late 80s with an osteoporosis spine and various medical conditions (with often the same expectations and hopes of what you can achieve for them) which require you to adapt your techniques regularly and be prepared to change the direction of medical care quickley. This is my day to day.

Being a slightly “older” and experienced therapist I have a learnt a lot and still have the thirst for further learning. It is always a passion and pleasure to teach and pass on my stories/experience to fellow team member and students that I teach.

Introducing Callum Rogers:

Callum holds and Masters degree in physiotherapy and bachelors degree in sports rehabilitation and has previously worked in the Academy at Charlton Athletic Football Club and with Ramsgate football club as well within NHS settings.

I have personally known Callum for close on 20 years as he was a patient of mine when I worked in Ashford many years ago. Excuse the picture he’s a devout Tottenham fan so we have let him have his moment until we get him some Team Buckley merch and add him to the website !!

Callum has a specialist interest in Knee rehabilitation having suffered himself two Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures and surgical repairs during his football career which has led him having a specialist interest in the rehabilitation of knee injuries. These personal experiences have given him a unique perspective as a clinician—deepening his empathy, and reinforcing his passion for supporting others through their rehabilitation journey. He also enjoys treating and providing preventative rehabilitation in all aspects of musculoskeletal injury.

He has an eagerness to learn /develop and aligns with our values and culture that we have developed here at the clinic.

We look forward to having Callum in the team as we move forwards with new ideas and exciting projects.

Always a pleasure coming back to the University of Bath to teach on their renowned Master’s degree in Sports Physiotherapy

Manipulative techniques were very limited in much of my training except for in osteopathy where we taught from day 1 surface anatomy , palpation techniques and observed human anatomy at dissection labs. Manipulation techniques are often highly sort after by many patients and elite athletes that I have and do work with. When in combination with other modalities such as exercise rehabilitation can be an effective treatment for many.

I am now in my 13th year teaching these techniques at the university of Bath and have been teaching these techniques also within elite sports since 2009

Later in year I will open up this teaching to GP’s , consultants , chiropractors, physiotherapists and osteopaths looking to enhance their knowledge in this area.

Always appreciate the testimonials from my colleagues and for more details please look at my website https://www.teambuckleyphysio.co.uk/services/manipulation-teaching

Having worked with Andy on several occasions in both the elite competitive and teaching environments, I have always been impressed by his work ethic and dedication to both athletes and colleagues, ensuring he is sharing his wealth of knowledge, experience and skills. Andy’s expertise and delivery of relevant manual therapy and manipulative techniques embedded within clinical evidence-based teaching is excellent.

I have been teaching alongside Andy for a few years, and his sessions are engaging and adaptable to the learning needs of the participants. Furthermore, he is a highly professional, evidence-based clinician with excellent hands -on and manipulation skills.

Plantar fasciitis (PF)

is a classic repetitive stress type Injury that we commonly see in both a considered posturally normal foot , however , most commonly see it in those that demonstrate a pronated (flat foot type posture) that results in overstretching of the planter fascia during part of the walking/running gait cycle

The majority of PF cases are aged 40-60 years old and often present with pain when they first get up in the morning and putting their foot down only to ease after a few minutes of activity.

Patience - PF can be a very frustrating condition , however, the majority cases will settle overtime with appropriate activity modifications and therapeutic care.
