"I worked with Paul in the later stages of my playing career having had the opportunity to use him as a consultant. I had struggled throughout my career with recurrent soft tissue injuries & my manager suggested i seek his advice. Paul specialises in human movement & biomechanics & following an extensive assessment he identified the cause of my problems. He is a Chartered Physiotherapist & Neuro Fascial Kinesiologist & he approaches soft tissue injury in Professional Footballers from a different angle. He concentrates on the cause of injury instead of just treating symptoms & during our time together i felt the best i had done in years. It would have been great to discover Paul earlier in my career but he continues to help many other players currently injured.

" I consulted Paul for a number of months having had an issue with one of my knees. It was always there & i couldn't shake it off, i could get through games & training but the pain was always there. Paul assessed me & concentrated on how i moved. He identified some biomechanical issues centred around my pelvis & found some muscle imbalances which influenced my movement in a negative way. Further to this he carried out a home assessment which involved how i relaxed, how i sat & more importantly the positions i slept in. He assessed the seating position in my car & quickly adjusted it & over months provided hands on treatment to re align me resulting in more optimal movement. I felt the difference very quickly. He's a really nice geezer & he's great at what he does. "

" Both myself & my brother had chance to consult Paul in 2024. My brother is a professional footballer in Ireland & had struggled with recurrent injuries over the previous 2 years. I had periodically suffered with Plantar Fasciitis & recurrent tight hamstrings so we had the opportunity to have Paul assess us both at my home. He assessed us both in front of Family members & described what he was looking for. He explained to us all why we suffered from our symptoms in simple terms & outlined his principles on how to remove them. He designed rehabilitation & corrective physical programs for both my brother & myself & i had no injury issues throughout the whole of the 2024/5/ season in the Premiership. Paul has exceptional Knowledge & i will continue to follow his advice. "

"Paul is an exceptional Physiotherapist, Biomechnics & Dysfunction Specialist. He approaches injuries differently & identifies mechanical problems that others don't. His experience over 25 years is second to none. He was in charge of my rehabilitation throughout my time at Peterborough United including my recovery from surgical operations. Having been a professional footballer himself for 15 years, he understands the frustration of the injured player. He continues to study & has developed a method of diagnosing problems that is unique to him."
Jason Lee
Nottingham Forrest, Peterborough, Charlton Athletic
"Paul is a very forward thinking specialist who successfully rehabilitated me following a Patellar Tendon rupture whilst I was a professional footballer at Peterborough Utd. He has run his own very successful private physiotherapy clinic for the last 25 years & he specialises in diagnosing conditions/ injuries that others can't. I have recently referred a number of struggling players to him & all had their issues uniquely diagnosed and all are fit & thriving. His knowledge in the human movement & bio-mechanics field is second to none."
Billy French

"For years I had struggled with repetitive hamstring tears (approx 9). I had been treated by some of the best physiotherapists but nothing seemed to help & retiring from the game was suggested. A chance meeting with Jason Lee at the PFA led me to consult Paul at his private clinic in Peterborough. In one session he identified a bio-mechanical dysfunction I had which was the root of my problem. He provided hands on physiotherapy, educated me on things to avoid & implemented his "Showler Protocol" rehabilitation program for me. Straight away I felt the difference. I moved better & I understand how my body should move. Without Paul's insight I don't think I would be playing. He sees things others don't and anyone struggling with repeated injuries should consult him."

"I've known Paul for 25 years & his knowledge on bio-mechanics, movement analytics & dysfunction is exceptional. He sees problems that others don't & gets to the cause of a problem rather than treating the symptom. Paul uses his experience as a professional footballer to solve the physical problems of other professional sports people. Paul has not only treated but helped me understand why my injuries occurred. He explains this in a way that is easy to understand & i have referred other professional footballers to him & they have sung his praises."
Jordan Hallam
Sheffield United - Scunthorpe
"Having hardly played in 3 years with multiple hamstring tears, I was told by consultants, doctors & many top class physios that I should probably retire. I was looking into a financial retirement package when someone at the PFA suggested I see Paul. In our first session he identified a fundamental bio-mechanical issue that was the root of my problems. This was explained in a way that I understood it, Paul designed measures to remove patterns of movement that were damaging me and he implemented his Showler protocol to promote optimal movement. I was literally fixed after 3 visits and have played over 20 games with absolutely no issues. Instead of retiring at 24, I am now fully fit & I will always be grateful as without Paul I was finished."

" I signed Paul as a professional footballer in the early 90's. He was a good footballer but he is a great Physio & Biomechanics expert. He took over the medical department at Peterborough United F.C. when we were struggling with a high amount of muscular injuries in particular hamstring tears & hernia's. Paul changed our training methods using his experience as a footballer himself & his specialist knowledge on the body & human movement. Our injuries reduced & our insurance premiums went down from tens of thousands to single figures in just a few years. I have known Paul for over 30 years now & i can say that he's a very smart cookie. He changed the way we physically developed our players & i know he runs a very successful private physiotherapy clinic now. He is currently helping sportsmen & women who others can't fix & i can't recommend him highly enough."
