My Journey
Welcome to my page. My name is Nikhil Dodhia and I am offering a mobile Sports Therapy service. I graduated in 2017 with First Class Honours in Sports Therapy before going on to complete my Masters in Strength and Conditioning in 2018.
Along the way I have had the opportunity to work with a number of individuals from amateur sportspeople all the way through to professional and world class athletes in various sports. I worked 1 year within Wheelchair Basketball which provided me with valuable experience. The opportunity arose to work with the national UAE Paralympic Wheelchair Basketball Team when they arrived in the UK for their tour. I was the sports therapist for 2 years within a semi-professional football team providing pitch side first aid, injury assessment, treatment and rehabilitation to players. While completing my Masters, I undertook a placement at a professional football club where I would plan the players gym programmes and take their gym sessions. I also gained experience working with the England Netball squad as well as providing therapy treatments at Basketball tournaments. Additionally, I volunteered at the British Transplant Games in 2018 providing treatment to British Transplant athletes across a multitude of sports.
As a keen sportsman myself, I have been out of action due to my fair share of injuries, so I really do know how it feels when in recovery and the physical and psychological implications it can have on our daily routines. On my very first day at University I dislocated my shoulder 5 minutes into the trials for the Hockey team. It was so bad that I went on to have surgery a few months later, so I ended up spending my whole first year in a sling, with the rehab being mentally and physically draining. My goal is to help as many people as I can, whether that be getting them back to sport or just daily living by covering all areas during rehabilitation making them more functional and stronger than before they were injured, thus reducing their risk of re-injury.
Thank you again for visiting my page and if you have any questions please feel free to drop me a message at any time! :)
