I recently travelled all the way from London to Cornwall for a full bike fitting with Scott after seeing the amount of positive reviews he had online and now I completely understand why he’s so highly rated.

I first saw Scott for a running injury during 2016 when I ran the London Marathon, Scott fixed me fairly quickly and gave me some exercises to speed recovery. He even wrote to my Dr and arrange for me to have an MRI scan which highlighted a disc herniation. Fast forward 9 nine years and…

Anterior shoulder pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. It is often labelled as a rotator cuff injury or supraspinatus tendon inflammation, and treatment frequently focuses on strengthening that tendon alone. However, as modern evidence and clinical experience show, this approach can miss a critical part of the picture. At Kernow…
