Meet the Team

Our Experts include:

Mark Roe

Bsc (Hons) Physiotherapy

Mark founded the clinic due to an increase in word of mouth referrals for his services.  As an ex-professional footballer, Mark had to retire at 21 year old following several knee operations, and poor physiotherapy provision.  He not only knows what it’s like to play at the highest level, but also the psychology of an injured player, and the dedication needed to get back on the pitch.  His time spent on the sideline sparked a passion for rehabilitation of sports players and in particular junior footballers.  Since qualification as a chartered physiotherapist, Mark spent many years working as a senior physiotherapist in the NHS and in the private sector, and has worked with various sports clubs including Huddersfield Town FC. 

As well as his role as director of the Mark Roe Sports Physio Academy and current clinic work, Mark also works as consultant physiotherapist to Sheffield FC – the Worlds First Football Club.  His client base includes several current and ex-world champions in many sports.  Also on his CV is the Soccer Aid 2010 event where he worked with Robbie Williams and football royalty such as Zidane and Figo.  See testimonial page and the news page for more details.

He initially went to Adelaide to work at the South Australian College for Elite Golf, and also to gain a diploma in sport management.  During this time Tom worked with  biomechanics experts who gave him the opportunity to study the golf swing from different aspects physically and biomechanically.

Whilst back in Melbourne, Tom worked with players from the European Tour, PGA Tour, Asian Tour, Ladies European and LPGA tours and the smaller EPD tour in Germany.
