GEORGE CATER

I am a qualified Sports Therapist and a registered member of the Society of Sports Therapists (SST), with over 5 years’ experience in frontline, private clinical practice. I am a highly motivated, reliable, enthusiastic MSK clinician working within a dynamic MDT of clinicians. I am confident and competent in working autonomously within my own professional scope of practice. However, I also recognise the value of working collaboratively with a range of professional colleagues to enhance patient care. I am committed to consistently delivering high quality, safe and effective patient centred care, underpinned by clinically relevant, evidence-based practice.

I have gained valuable experience and extensive exposure in a variety of clinical settings, whilst assessing, treating, and supporting a range of both acute and chronic conditions. On a day-to-day basic my caseload extends across a variety of age ranges and clinical presentations. This also includes assisting in physical activity, health, and fitness related goals both sports & non-sports specific. Alongside this I am committed to regular CPD and always keen to further my development as an MSK clinician.

My personal experience in elite sport as a professional, semi-professional footballer and member of an elite-level medical team has allowed me to become exposed to leading practitioners within their respective fields. This exposure has allowed me to develop my passion for optimising the function, health, lifestyle, and well-being of patients and athletes, whilst having evidence-based practice at the forefront of my clinical philosophy.

• I'm a professional musician with a shoulder problem and was recommended to the clinic. The physiotherapy I've received from George Cater has been transformative. I went in barely able to lift my arm to chest height and now have full range of movement again and greatly increased strength. George is attentive and very clear in his instructions (just as well in my case!) and worked through a very systematic and appropriate programme to get me to where I am now. He's also great conversation too! Highly recommended - Dan Walsh.
• I had a few months off running due to shin splints. As every runner knows, not being able to run and having to rest, is so frustrating and upsetting. I booked to see George and over a couple of months we had treatment sessions, tailored exercises, a return to running program, and a couple of sports massages. He's very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and helpful. 100% recommend. Thanks for getting me back to running - Nicki Wright.

I have a wide variety of interests that vary dependent upon the time of year. In the summertime, I am an avid traveller. I enjoy experiencing different cultures for the food, people, tourist destinations and of course the sunshine.

Whilst year round I play semi - professional football, this season currently for Chasetown FC. I most recently have won the Staffordshire Senior Cup for Chasetown FC and also played a part in Tamworth FC success gaining promotion to the National League!

I am dedicated to optimising my own personal health and lifestyle. I frequently visit the gym and enjoy cooking healthy meals. In addition to this, in my down time I enjoy reading books and listening

to podcasts.
