COLPOD THERAPIES - Key Persons
Colin qualified from Durham in 1999, after first working in outdoor sports retail since leaving school, and spent 4 years in London working in the NHS. After working in various areas of podiatry he was appointed the clinical lead for Biomechanics and gained experience by providing biomechanics support to Physios, diabetes, rheumatology, surgical and community teams.
In 2003 he moved to Sheffield and started to work in both Sheffield and Chesterfield in private clinics. Here he gained valuable experience in working alongside other podiatrists, physiotherapists, sports massage therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths. He works with GB Olympic teams based at EIS in Sheffield - boxing, table tennis, badminton, basketball and diving.
He has also worked with local company Talar Made delivering training courses on biomechanics and orthoses. Colin has run his own workshops for therapists and general public on biomechanics, orthoses, running technique, running analysis and treatment. We are hoping to start some of these up again next year.
Colin has a lot of experience in dealing with running injuries. He works from the Accelerate Running shop in Sheffield and has been very involved in looking at running gait analysis and helping runners introduce changes to their running style to help with over coming injury and helping with performance.
When not working he is often walking and running in the Peak District, paddleboarding, climbing and camping with the family and dog Pip.
