Adam Harrison

Senior Sports Therapist | BSc (Hons) MSST

My Background

I graduated from the University of Chichester in 2013. It was my passion for science, sport and healthcare lead me down the path of becoming a Sports Therapist. Working with world class sailors to desk bound office workers means that I have had the experience of dealing with all types of injuries and I strive to keep you active and out of pain.

Qualifications & Experience

After graduating I went to work with the Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing sailing team. This invaluable experience, lead me into the world of professional sport looking after world class athletes competing at the highest level. Training plans, nutrition and injury management were some of the roles and responsibilities within the team. Since then I have worked within busy private clinics treating a wide range of injuries and complaints being either sport or occupation related.

I have a particular interest in lower limb injuries and the study of biomechanics (how a person moves). I am qualified in Medical Acupuncture and the prescription of fully customised orthotics which can be important tools in the management of musculoskeletal pain. I believe that giving the correct advice and education about the mechanism of a patient’s pain is vital for self management and keeping active.

How I like to recharge and reset

I like to recharge and reset by spending quality time with my wife and 2 children, simply going for walk or riding bikes around the local lake. I also enjoys football and I am looking forward to getting back playing this coming season!
