Paul is the Owner and lead therapist at MOVE. The MOVE clinic, and its approach, reflects his cumulative experience of 20years of physiotherapy. Paul originally qualified with a BSc 2:1 in Physiotherapy from Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen in 2001. He then worked in a wide variety of settings within the NHS gaining experience in all aspects of physiotherapy from intensive care, to hydrotherapy. In 2007 he left the NHS, packed his bags and headed to Perth, Western Australia to complete a Master’s Degree in Manual Therapy. Having completed the course with a High Distinction and picking up an Academic Prize in Rehabilitation along the way, he packed his bags once again and headed over to New Zealand where he worked in a private clinic in Christchurch treating everything from Joe Bloggs with back pain to elite athletes. Since returning to the UK in 2008 he has worked in private practice throughout Cornwall and Devon, including a season as lead Physio for Plymouth Albion Rugby Union team. Paul started MOVE is 2015, originally housed within a dentist in city centre Truro, the clinic then moved Morgans Gym in Greenbottom, before finally relocating to the current MoveHQ in November 2020. Paul’s particular clinic interests and expertise are in diagnosis and management of long-standing and complex pain/movement problems. Areas of interest include manual therapy, therapeutic movement, injury rehabilitation, functional neurology, vestibular rehab, and generally maximising human performance. Paul’s approach differs from many other therapists because attention and treatment are targeted at both brain and the body. From 2011-2019 Paul was the Medical Director of Rocktape UK. He designed, wrote and taught a variety of post-graduate workshops for other therapists throughout the UK and Europe. He was one of the 4 original Rocktape Master Trainers, teaching the teachers to deliver Rocktape course courses across Europe. It is fair to say that what Paul doesn’t know about kinesiology taping isn’t worth knowing. If anyone is going to help you hurt less and move better with a roll of tape Paul’s your guy. Paul has spent his life deeply involved in sport and movement. As a kid Paul was into everything from track and field to whitewater kayaking. As a teenager he became heavily involved in windsurfing, winning multiple Scottish and UK titles, his claim to fame is finishing 21st at Youth World Championships in 1996, where the only Brit who beat him went on to win 3 Olympic medals! Paul has always been a runner, in the early years as fitness training for windsurfing, and has completed several road and off-road marathons. In the last few years he has given up trying to be fast and found his niche in mid pack off road ultra-running. Highlights include a sub 9hour Classic Quarter and finishing the 100km Roseland August Trail and Arc50 Ultras. Since moving to Cornwall 20 years ago Paul has enthusiastically embraced, and dedicated countless hours to the pursuit of competence in what has to one the most of wonderfully pointless of all forms of sporting endeavour. As a result Paul is very average surfer.
