Geoff's knowledge, his clinical application, and how he treats everything like an engineering expert is second to none. He will always provide an accurate diagnosis and treat the mechanical cause rather than the symptoms. Often he is 'the go to guy' in the county, being recommended by a large majority of Orthopaedic Consultants and GP's in the area. Still going strong at nearly 40, Geoff is still a Great Britain Age Group Triathlete, and uses his knowledge of athletic training alongside his therapeutic input extremely effectively. Up to the age of 18 he was a national swimmer. At 19, he became a Great Britain Modern Pentathlete. Since 2007, he hsa been an avid triathlete competing at many World Age Group Championships. To date he still has one of the fastest swims in the Age Group World of Triathlon!
