www.physioremedies.com Based at the Landsdown Club, London, Paul Martin is the physio who keeps me on track. I have known Paul for over 20 years and trust him absolutely. His passion for his work has lead him to provide his skills for the English Institute of Sport at St Mary’s College in Twickenham (a high performance centre for elite distance runners) where he has worked with many Olympians. He is also the lead physiotherapist for GB Disability Swimming squad and was part of the team that competed successfully at the Athens and Beijing Paralympic Games. His experience also extends to elite altheletes in the fields of squash, rowing and England women’s rugby to name but a few. I highly recommend Paul and Physio Remedies to anyone serious about their sport.

Buffwear Rocks!!
Buff® (www.buffwear.co.uk) have supplied both Rich and myself with fantastic headwear, cool T’s and excellent running shorts. The gear is holding up to some pretty serious testing.
