Millie Edwards

Senior Therapist

I’ve always been active playing in a variety of different sports teams including badminton and netball. Through my own experiences with chronic injuries and long rehabilitation journeys, I developed a deep understanding of the physical and emotional challenges that come with injuries.

From this I discovered my passion for helping others and explored the field of sports therapy, which has ultimately led me to where I am today. Being able to help others through their recovery and support them in continuing the activities they love to do.

I studied at Bournemouth University where I gained lots of valuable experience, working with Saints U21 academy team and working alongside the team here at Active Motion, where I had the opportunity to follow individuals through their journey from initial assessment all the way through to returning to sports or everyday activity. Being a part of that process and witnessing the real and lasting impact of personalised and consistent care was incredibly inspiring, now working here I aim to continue to maintain this standard of care to future patients.

I’m a friendly and approachable person who always aims to create a welcoming, supportive environment for every patient. Whether it’s helping someone get back to the activities they love or simply live day to day pain-free.

Lewis Grossert

Senior Therapist

I have been with Active Motion for over 5 years now and in that time I have seen well over a 1000 patients. This has involved helping a variety of different musculoskeletal injuries all over the body. I would say the most common things I see include: lower back pain, Sciatica, Plantar Fasciitis and Trochanteric Bursitis.

Racket sports will always be one of the things I enjoy the most. Especially badminton and padel. I also love strength training in the gym and spending time with my wife and son.

My main goal with clients is to always provide the best possible experience. Focusing heavily on building a good relationship and trust with my clients. I will never see my patients as just an injury and will always work with them to improve their overall quality of life, no matter the circumstance

Owen Simmons

Therapist

I am dedicated to helping people move better, recover from injury, and return to the activities they love. I graduated from Bournemouth University with First Class Honours in Sports Therapy and hold a Level 4 Sports Massage qualification as well as an Emergency First Aid at Work (Level 3) certificate.

Sport has always been a huge part of my life — from playing football since the age of five to competing in table tennis, tennis, and basketball. That lifelong involvement inspired my passion for understanding human movement, performance, and rehabilitation. It’s what drives me to support others on their recovery journeys and help them regain confidence in their bodies.

My clinical experience has seen me working across Dorset and Hampshire, with a variety of clients and conditions. I also spent the 2024/25 season with Oakmedians RFC in Bournemouth, providing pitch-side first aid, pre-match taping, injury assessment, and sports massage.

Active Motion has helped me develop my expertise in aches and pains such as sciatica and plantar fasciitis. As well as long-term pain management for chronic conditions. I take a holistic and person-centered approach, focusing on the whole individual — not just the symptoms— to achieve lasting results and build trust throughout the recovery process.

I’m known for being friendly, approachable, and professional, creating a supportive environment where each client feels understood and empowered. My goal is to help every patient — regardless of background or ability — recover fully, move confidently, and enjoy the quality of their life.
