David Calvert, Shooting

As an athlete with the Northern Ireland Commonwealth Games team to Gold Coast in 2018, I was fortunate to have Julia allocated as Physio to our sport (Shooting). I was impressed not only with her professional knowledge and treatment, but with her whole-hearted dedication to the team. With Julia’s support I was able to focus on my core business of training and competition.

Ciarán Chambers, Badminton

I am a former international badminton player for Ireland and Northern Ireland. I have worked with Julia Webster and North Down Physio for over 6 years now. Julia and her team have such knowledge and experience with all ranges of injuries, issues and niggles. They have helped me numerous times during my life, both for competitive injuries and daily living struggles. If not for Julia and her team’s support, I would not have been able to compete for as long as I wanted.

Ellie McVeigh, Squash & Netball

I have been supported by Julia and Steve from the age of 12 years playing both Squash and Netball at International Junior level and transitionally into Senior International Squash. Both Julia and Steve has ensured my junior career has been kept on track off court in both sports with clear guidance to assist with reducing the risk of injury and when issues arose administering professional advice on a clear recovery pathway. I very much view Julia and Steve as part of my “Sporting Team’ always there to help and support me and both of whom I trust.

Mark Downey, Cycling

I first worked with Julia at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast 2018. I had a pretty heavy crash while competing on the velodrome in the points race. I came to Julia with quite a bit of back pain which would run all the way down to my hamstrings. Julia spent the first session trying to find the problem and the pain which was restricting me getting back to feeling my normal self on the bike.

We got to the bottom of it and she began loosening and stretching the muscle to try and release the pain. After a week full of rehab with Julia I was competing in the men’s road race 6 days after my crash. Not only did I feel back to my normal self I felt better – I raced to 4th in the road race in an event which I thought I wouldn’t even be able to compete in after my crash.

I have to thank Julia a lot for all the help and treatment; It was a something I could never imagined achieving after the accident. Julia is a very professional and patient physio, getting to the bottom of my problems and having me back to my best in no time, and who I would recommend for professional athletes or amateurs wanting treatment or an understanding of their injury.
