Here’s a taster of what our academics are currently working on

Richard’s research focuses on injury prevention and prehabilitation (enhancing function before participation in sport to reduce injury) using exercise and technology. He is currently investigating ways to develop best-practise in injury prehabilitation and rehabilitation of injury. He is also the Course Leader for the Sport Rehabilitation BSc course. 

Outside of teaching and research, Richard is involved in the internationalisation of the sport rehabilitation profession and the quality assurance of higher education programmes through the professional and regulatory body; the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT).

Dominic works on world-leading research into prehabilitation involving exercise, nutrition, and psychological support for people with acute myeloid leukaemia. This project is on-going and aims to improve fatigue symptoms in patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy treatment. 

Michelle teaches critical appraisal of research and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions. In collaboration with the National Rehabilitation Centre, Michelle is leading on research into rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions including osteoarthritis, joint replacement, and orthopaedic trauma. Her research aims to improve outcomes for patients with these conditions enabling them to achieve their goals such as returning to work or sport. 

Roger teaches clinical skills, critical thinking, and clinical reasoning (the thinking and decision-making process used in clinical practice). He works across several research and scholarship areas including neck pain, manual therapy, healthcare education, and the philosophy of science. His work has led to international frameworks for best clinical practice for people with neck pain and had an impact on the professional understanding of evidence-based healthcare.
