In this episode we speak with leading clinician:
Tim Roberts
Tim is an Australian physiotherapist. He completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at University of South Australia before completing a Masters in Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy at University of South Australia. He worked in one of Australian’s largest sports medicine centres (SportsMed) as well as a number of different sports (primarily Australian Rules Football), before moving to London in 2016. He worked with James Moore and the crew at CHHP ( www.chhp.com ) , as well as multi-sport work with the English Institute of Sport during his time in London, before moving to Shanghai at the end of 2018.
He is currently working at the Shanghai Sports Institute, focusing primarily on athlete rehabilitation, covering athletes from 16 different sports. He supplements this work by consulting work for the Chinese Olympic Committee with travelling national team athletes. Tim is also completing a further Master’s degree in High Performance Sport through the Australian Catholic University, to complement strength and conditioning qualifications through the NSCA and ASCA.
His main clinical area of interest is the Sporting Hip and Groin and this is the area for which he will be delivering content for Health Development & Performance Network very soon.
In this episode we discuss:
- How Tim’s early life was full of sport (he is super competitive), but when being a professional sportsman wasn’t going to happen, he looked for another way to stay involved in sport
- Why he loves problem solving (which included Maths at school) and how an injury in high school, showed him where his true passion lay
- How working as part of a team is VERY important to Tim
- How living & working in different countries (Ukraine, Peru, China, UK, Australia) has helped Tim become more adaptable and respectful of how there are many different ways of achieving the same goal
- Why exploring other aspects of high performance (S&C, nutrition etc) has led to better clinical rehab outcomes
- Why Exercise Prescription is KEY and the importance of progressive load
- Some of Tim’s key mentors (Anthony Hogan, James Moore, Kurt Tropiano) and how each of them have inspired Tim in different ways to facilitate his professional development and, also improve his relationship with both the athletes & coaches he works with
- Some of Tim’s personal experiences of ACL rehab (he’s ruptured both ACL’s now and is in early stage rehab for his 2nd)
- Key tips for up and coming clinicians
- How to get exposure: to different sports, different injuries and different people
- How to set yourself a structured plan and stick to it - don't jump around all over the place looking for the magic trick.
- Why you must love what you do and put in the work. There are no shortcuts and it takes time and effort.
