I am a Graduate Sports Therapist from the University of Gloucestershire. I have worked within a variety of sports such as Athletics, Football and Rugby Union. I am currently Lead Sports Therapist at Cheltenham North RFC where I have been able to develop and expand my knowledge base of injury assessment, management and rehabilitation.

I am able to deliver treatments including sports massage, manual therapy and electrotherapy as well as having an understanding of the biopsychosocial model and holistic healthcare and the benefits that this can have on musculoskeletal injuries. I am keen to learn new methods of treatment and management for injuries by attending CPD courses. During my personal time, I am a keen runner and swimmer. I am interested in all areas of health and fitness and understand the difficulties that injuries can place on everyday life as well as training schedules.

Graduate Sports Therapist
I am a graduate sports therapist from the university of Gloucestershire. I have worked within a number of different sporting environments including football, rugby and American football. I have developed my knowledge of injury assessment, treatment and rehabilitation and gained vast amounts of experience while working with Gloucestershire County RFU, Gloucester RFC developing players programme and the British American football association.
As a keen cyclist and triathlete, I have experienced my fair share of injuries. This has helped me to understand the frustration and inconvenience that injuries can cause. My past personal experiences have fuelled my love and determination to help others overcome injury and return to what they love doing whether that is sport or just day to day activities.

Chief Greeter
Meet our (occasional) clinic dog, the very handsome Cody. He is a Lurcher (Greyhound, Saluki, collie) X Border Collie which means he is very intelligent, but also very soppy and loving!
He is very well behaved, friendly and loves a good fuss. He will even probably bring you a toy to play with him. He will comfort you during your appointment if you would like him to.
If you are not fond of dogs, or would rather him be out of sight, please do just let us know and we will happily pop him away. Don’t worry, the clinic gets cleaned very regularly and he is never allowed on the treatment couches. He has his very own armchair which he is trained to stay in so won’t get under anyone’s feet.
‘My first impression was very good, I saw an instant improvement and received good recommendations. I have noticed positive effects in that one thing leads to another in the body and from my first treatment it has been only positive improvements in both my body and my sport.’

Being sponsored by NM Sports Therapy helps with my physical performance because I trust that my body is in the best shape to compete at a high level. Being sponsored by NM Sports Therapy has made a big difference to the level I can train at. Being a full time athlete means I am always training which results in a lot of niggles and minor injury’s and having the opportunity to see someone at Nm Sports Therapy when I need to puts me at ease. “

Sally Reid – Cyclo X (MAGSPEED)
Sally Reid (Hibberd) is a Cheltenham based rider who has a background in
Mountain Biking XC racing. As a professional MTB XC rider in the late
80’s and early 90’s, she rode for various teams including Specialized, Zinn, Alpine Stars and MBUK competing in the Grundig World Cups and World
Championships. Career highlights were 3 consecutive National titles, top 5
finishes in World Cup series and top 10 at World Championships.
After a break of 20 odd years (just living life) Sally returned to cycling in
2015. Using her now-retro GT MTB, she rode a local Western League Cyclocross race and was hooked! In her second season back she won the Cyclocross National Title in the Vet 55-59 category, relishing the tough Bradford course. She now rides for Team MAGSPEED.
‘As a masters athlete, it is even more important to keep my body in tip top condition! NMSPT have been instrumental in rehabbing a calf injury from last season and also helping me to recover fully so that I can put in the considerable training I need to succeed. The pre-race treatment I receive from Harriet will allow me to go into my races with the best possible chance of success! Thank you so much to the team for giving me this wonderful opportunity to be the best I can be! Watch this space for the results as my racing season begins next weekend.‘
