Colin has a wealth of experience and knowledge working in professional sport as a player, coach and clinician. Having been forced to retire from professional rugby due to injury, Colin is able to empathise with all athletes when injuries occur and can share in their frustrations when unable to compete or train.

Having spent the last 8 years as Head Physiotherapist for Hibernian Football Club, Colin has previously also worked for the Scottish Football Association, the Scottish Rugby Union and in private Sports Science and Medical practices, working with many elite and world class athletes and the general public. These athletes have included internationally recognised and world champions in many sporting disciplines.

He uses a number of techniques and methods in his assessment and treatment of injuries, and applies his knowledge and experience to deliver a first class service to all clients. He is also very proactive in Pre-habilitation, identifying and resolving problems before they occur.

Colin is also an experienced Sports Scientist and is a member of BASES. He therefore is qualified to deliver and lead the fitness and dietary services which is Back2Sport.

It was my vision to offer a service whereby everyone could receive the same services that professional athletes receive. This service should be holistic in nature, with all clinicians in all disciplines working together to achieve the best outcome for the client. My dream has finally materialised in the form of Back2Fitness.

Welcome to my vision.
