Jordan Sahota

Director & Lead Therapist

Qualifications
Integrated Masters Degree in Sports Therapy
REPS Level 2 Personal Training

Jordan is also able to perform:
Manipulations & Jaw Treatments
Acupuncture
Instrument Assisted Soft-Tissue Manipulation

Inspired by his own previous injuries (lower back and knee pain – resulting in surgery and 2 injections) Jordan studied Sports Therapy (MSci) at the University of Chichester and, this has led Jordan to have a particular interest in lower back pain, neck pain and shoulder pain.

As a Graduate Sports Therapist, Jordan is able to assess, treat and rehabilitate patients suffering with muscle, joint or nerve related symptoms. Through completing his Masters, he is now able to treat all areas of the body – including the Jaw.

Prior to undertaking his degree, Jordan competed for the United Kingdom in Ballroom and Latin dancing. This has enabled him to understand the movement patterns of different sports, as well as the importance of physical mobility for sport, and subsequently everyday life.

Through the experience Jordan gained while working with AFC Bournemouth, Oxford United and Worthing RFC, he ensures that the treatment and rehabilitation strategies provided are both effective and realistic in order to ensure patients accomplish their goals and can return to the activities they love.

Lewis Grossert

Sports Therapist & Rehab Specialist

Qualifications

Undergraduate Degree in Sports Therapy (BSc Hons)

REPS Level 3 Exercise Referral  (Personal Training)

Active IQ Level 3 Certificate in Fitness Training

From a young age I have always been active and had a passion for sport. Throughout my life I have played a wide variety of sports particularly Racquet Sports  (badminton). My sporting background is what ignited my interest into the field of Sports therapy, as I witnessed many injuries (both to myself and others). I found it fascinating how my teammates could go from not being able to walk (as a result of their injury), to then performing at their optimal level after receiving Sports Therapy. 

I wanted to become a Sports Therapist so that I could make a difference to peoples lives and get them back to doing the things that they love and back to their peak performance.

During my time at University I gained lots of valuable experience, through working with Tottonians RFC and within the clinical setting at the University of Chichester. My three favourite areas to treat are the shoulder, lower back and knee. The reason for this being that I have had lots of practical experience treating a wide range of injuries within these areas and find it rewarding seeing the progress that the client has made. 

To sum up, I would say I am a friendly and approachable person whose main focus is treating the person as a whole, rather than just an injury. I am not satisfied until the client is able to complete the activities they love, regardless of how challenging their overall goal is.

Megan Channon

Physiotherapist

Qualifications

Degree in Physiotherapy

I graduated from Bournemouth University in 2021 with a first class degree in Physiotherapy. I have since been working in the NHS.

For as long as have known I have been fascinated by injury and rehab- potentially stemming from my own recovery from injuries. My biggest goal is always improving individuals pain and function to get them back to the activities they love! I always ensure I keep up to date with the latest research and evidence for multiple conditions and their management.

I am friendly, approachable and love a good chat! When I’m not doing all things physio you can find me seeing new places, playing badminton or in the gym!

Emily Bray

Physiotherapist

Qualifications

Pilates Instructor
Undergraduate Degree in Physiotherapy

Emily qualified in Physiotherapy from the University of Manchester in 2003 and worked in the NHS for 2 years to consolidate her physiotherapy skills across a broad range of areas, including orthopaedics, musculoskeletal outpatients, and chronic pain management. Specialising in treating musculoskeletal conditions as a senior physiotherapist, Emily worked in a wide variety of settings, including GP outpatient clinics, in the community, and as a locum for the MOD, treating injuries sustained by soldiers during training. Treating chronic back pain is a particular interest, and the successful results gained by core strengthening exercises led Emily to study as a Pilates instructor.

Emily has run her own Pilates business for the past 10 years and maintained her passion for keeping people living their best life by being active and maintaining muscle strength, flexibility, and joint range of motion.

In Emily’s experience, any acute or chronic musculoskeletal condition can be successfully treated with a problem-solving approach, using a combination of manual (hands-on) therapy/soft tissue release, exercise rehabilitation, and self-management techniques. Emily’s experience also ensures she knows when it might be appropriate to refer patients for further medical screening/testing if necessary.

One of the main reasons Emily loves her job is the interaction with people and helping them to improve their quality of life. Emily believes that listening to patients, being respectful, and making them feel comfortable is extremely important and she always aims to make the physio sessions enjoyable.

Hannah

Patient Success Coordinator and Therapist

Qualifications:

Undergraduate degree in Sport and Exercise Therapy 

About me:

I have been passionate about sports my entire life, understanding firsthand the importance of staying active and pursuing what you love. Netball is a passion of mine ; I regularly play and coach, which has allowed me to witness the profound physical and mental effects injuries can have on athletes. These experiences inspired me to become a sports therapist.

My university studies provided me with invaluable hands-on experience, including time with the Southampton FC Academy and at the university’s injury clinic, where I encountered a diverse range of injuries and applied my learning in real-world settings.

In this rewarding role, I enjoy helping individuals achieve their personal goals, whether that involves daily activities or reaching peak performance in their sport. I pride myself on being approachable and enthusiastic, dedicated to helping every patient return to the activities they love, no matter how big or small their goals may be.
