From my own history playing football from an early age and living an active lifestyle, I have encountered injuries of various severity from aches, sprains to undergoing multiple surgeries.
Throughout the rehab process over the last 15 years I have always looked to maximise my bodies condition, ability to improve performance through movement, rehab and training. I have found traditional treatment and rehab options to be frustrating and often inefficient.
A crucial step in your recovery and journey to your goal is for me to assess then explain, educate so that you understand WHY you feel what you do and how we are going to help you get back whatever you want to. I assess what is potentially overloaded, moving too much or what isn’t moving enough and HOW specific exercises will help you.
Working with me, the following skills and techniques can be utilised to treat the cause and not just your symptoms:
· Injury Assessment, Diagnosis & Treatment
· Rehabilitation & Fitness Sessions
· Breathing exercises
· Postural Assessment
· Applied Manual Therapy - Maitland Joint Mobilisations
· Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM)
· Sports Massage & Soft Tissue Therapy
· Sports Specific conditioning
Hi, im Miles Mitchell-Coop and I became interested in musculoskeletal injuries, fitness and rehabilitation during my time as a professional footballer where I experienced first-hand, the pain and frustration of being injured.
In 2009, i suffered a career threatening injury which resulted in me missing a period of time off the pitch. Undergoing intense rehabilitation and treatment following knee reconstruction surgery in 2010 gave me an insight into the practices of a Therapist and trainer.
I made the transition from patient to therapist as i qualified as a Personal Trainer and then went on to gain a BSc Sports Therapy degree (Hons.) at the University of Hertfordshire.
I am an insured member of the Society of Sports Therapists (MSST) and understand the needs of those ranging from the professional athlete to the amateur sportsperson and gym enthusiast.
I have gained valuable experience through working in the University of Hertfordshire Sports Therapy Clinic, as well as covering major sporting events such as the London Marathon, Harlow Race for Life and assisting the head therapist at Northampton Saints Rugby Club during rehabilitation sessions and recovery days.
When not working, I can often be found in the gym or running, learning all things rehab, gardening, at the theatre, eating good cake (or cookies) and spending time with my young family.
