BSc Sports Therapy · Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT)
Helping people regain confidence and return to movement they enjoy — without fear or frustration.
Matt is an approachable and highly skilled sports therapist at Peacock Pain & Injury Clinic, supporting people across Mold, Flintshire, and North Wales with pain, injury, and recovery. He carries out full-body injury assessment and treatment — from neck and shoulder pain through to hip, knee, and ankle — with particular expertise in lower-limb and sporting injuries, helping patients move more freely and confidently again.
Alongside his musculoskeletal work, Matt also treats vestibular conditions, including dizziness, vertigo, and balance-related symptoms. He regularly supports patients who feel unsettled, anxious, or unsure about movement due to spinning sensations or loss of balance, helping them feel safe, reassured, and confident again.
With a strong background in football and handball, Matt understands first-hand how disruptive injury can feel — physically and mentally. Whether someone is keen to return to sport, training, or simply move comfortably day to day, Matt focuses on building confidence as well as strength.
He regularly works with footballers, runners, gym-goers, and active adults, as well as people who want to stay mobile, independent, and pain-free as they get older. His calm, motivating approach helps patients feel supported at every stage of recovery, whatever joint or injury they’re dealing with.
Patients often describe Matt’s sessions as friendly, structured, and encouraging. He combines hands-on treatment with targeted, easy-to-follow exercise programmes tailored to each person’s goals. Matt is passionate about treating the whole person, recognising that pain and recovery are influenced by both physical and emotional factors.
Matt’s understanding approach is shaped by his own experience of knee surgery and poor rehabilitation earlier in life — an experience that inspired him to help others avoid the same frustrations. His work in university clinics and professional football environments has strengthened his ability to connect with a wide range of patients, ensuring everyone feels listened to, reassured, and confident in their plan.
“For me, it’s about helping people trust their body again — whether that’s returning to sport, exercise, or simply walking without pain.”
