Athletic Performance & Therapy, The John Pounds Centre, Portsmouth (2025)

Based in Portsmouth UK, we can help you with whatever your needs. You may be an elite athlete, a gym goer, a running enthusiast, a dog walker, a post-natal mother, or simply suffering from aches and pains – whatever your age – APT can help. We assess, diagnose and treat by reviewing your everyday activities, your gait, and any other functional factors that might be causing your pain. Offering therapy via manual therapy and exercise-based interventions, and a host of different treatments, our aim is to get you moving pain-free. Using a holistic approach in our assessments and treatments, we aim to help you to understand why your body is hurting as well as helping you to move more freely. So we don’t only treat your symptom - we identify the cause of the problem.

Because your journey is as individual as you are. 💙

1. Don't rush the first 4-6 weeks. Your goals by week 4 are clear: a quiet knee, minimal swelling and pain, no redness or heat, full extension, >120 degrees of knee flexion, a normal walking gait. Start slow, then compound quickly

2. Not doing testing. The single biggest mistake people make is not testing.
(Here at APT, the Meloq EasyForce dynamometer is used).

l ask so many of my ACL patients/clients who have come to me three months post surgery in pain with failed attempts to run "have you done any testing" ..90% will say no. If you're not testing, you're guessing. Don't guess with your long-term health.

3. It's your quads until it's no longer your quads.
Shout out to Erik Meira for this one.

Post surgery, I want you to be able to do a minimum of 25 high-quality single leg sit to stands (squats) plus >80% of your BW for 5 reps on as sinqle leq extension.

Until you hit this, keep it as your number 1 I priority.

4. Rehab your whole body, or should I say, recondition it...
I am a big believer that every injury is an opportunity. In most cases, you getting injured is an indication of a breakdown in performance. Whether that's strength, power, mobility, conditioning, etc.
Your rehab is your opportunity to come back better than before.

5. Not doing plyometrics.
And don't kid yourself thinking some hops & skips are enough.

To truly regain your knee health, athleticism & and confidence, your plyos need to be dynamic, progressive, and ultimately HARD!

I have watched grow from a little boy to a young man. His dedication to his craft has been exemplary! Today, he came 3rd at a major competition after weeks of a reoccurring hamstring issue. Whatch this space... He's going to be the number 1, one day!!

Thank you to Sven Svensson for your kind words and your trust in me helping you.

For those of you reading this. These three sessions have spanned nearly three months.
I'm not one for weekly appointments. I measure and assess ( , ), and then guide the individual to rehab themselves.
As clinicians, we don't perform miracles in clinic... As renowned American surgeon Michael Ellis Debakey once said "Good information, is the best medicine!"
