A Bit About Me

Rachel is a passionate Sport Rehabilitator who completed her BSc (Hons) in Sport Rehabilitation at the University of Nottingham. Through placements in private practice and sporting environments, she has gained hands‑on experience assessing and managing musculoskeletal injuries, and truly enjoys helping people recover, move better and return to the activities and sports they love.

She takes an evidence‑based, patient‑centred approach, combining hands‑on techniques such as sports massage and manual therapy with personalised, progressive exercise programmes. Her practice includes rehabilitation, exercise prescription, injury prevention, taping, sports massage and pitch‑side medical support in training and match‑day settings.

Alongside her work with athletes across football, rugby and lacrosse, Rachel is ITMMiF qualified, with training in trauma management and pitch‑side emergency care, and is particularly enthusiastic about the demands of working in contact sport. She also has a growing interest in women’s health, having led exercise sessions for pre‑menopausal and menopausal women and supported female athletes to manage menopause‑related changes.

Rachel is committed to holistic care, using an evidence‑based, biopsychosocial approach to support both physical and psychological aspects of recovery. Her style is collaborative, and practical, helping patients understand their injury and feel confident taking an active role in their rehabilitation.

Outside of work, Rachel enjoys staying active, travelling and spending time with friends and family. She has coached cheerleading and gymnastics, which has strengthened her communication, and ability to adapt to work with people of different ages and abilities.

HIGH LEVEL SUPPORT

Here at Crouch Physio, we offer the highest level of support to all of our clients. This includes being able to text or email any of our specialists between appointments.
We offer this high level support because we have seen that this drastically reduces expected recovery time for our clients which allows them to get back to normal activities quicker.

EDUCATION

Here at Crouch Physio, we will make sure to educate each and every single one of our clients on their diagnosis and how to best manage when away from the clinic setting. ⁣
We do this because education has been consistently shown across literature to be one of the most important factors for a quick and efficient recovery.
So don’t just expect to come into our clinic and receive ONLY manual based treatments. Although we do offer great symptom relieving treatments, evidence shows that its effectiveness increases with good patient education.

OBJECTIVE TESTING

Here at Crouch Physio, we don’t do guesswork. We use the latest technology to provide us clinicians with numerical objective data which allows us to apply the correct interventions at the right time.
Objectively assessing outcome measures also gives our patients confidence that they are improving under our care, as well as allowing them to monitor their own progress.
So whether you’re an active person trying to get stronger or a sedentary individual suffering pain/stiffness, you will know that your condition is improving with our specialist assessment tools.

TAILORED REHABILITATION

Here at Crouch Physio, we have access to the very best rehabilitation amenities, the same facilities used by premier league football players and other elite athletes.
Unlike most Physiotherapy clinics, our clients will split their time with their physio between the clinic room, gym area and our upstairs studio where you’ll find our VALD performance force-plates, allowing for a more in-depth assessment and individualised plans.
Upon your initial consultation with us, we will likely use the latest technology to obtain as much baseline data as we can, which allows our physiotherapists to make smarter/more informed decisions around client care.
Our world class facilities allow for us to safely and gradually phase our clients back to their baseline level of physical activity before injury.
