Testimonials
My interactions with ed when diagnosing players are on a par with the best physios I have worked with over 28 years of pro rugby.
Ed has a great character. He gives a s**t about the players but can be hard on them when necessary. He also tells the coaches what he actually thinks. He has principals that allow him to maintain trust with the staff and players.
JOE WORSLEY - ex-England International & Rugby Coach
I’ve worked in several high performance environments and the quality of knowledge and professionalism Ed carried in his role as Head of Department for Sports Medicine and Rehab is second to none.
Ed understands the complexities and demands of working in high-pressure environments and he was a pleasure to work alongside.
BEN POLLARD - Head of Physical Performance, World Rugby
What I feel separates Ed from other practitioners is his devotion to his craft, to the athletes he serves and to the colleagues he works with. Ed leaves no stone unturned from a full holistic point of view which allows him to provide the best opportunity for recovery from injury and also for the athlete to come back better than before their injury in their return to perform program.
GED MCNAMARA - High Performance Consultant
I’ve watched Ed grow since 2008. In that time he has excelled both as an Osteopath, Rehab Coach, Manager of a Professional Sports Medicine Department, and Breathwork Coach.
Ed’s attention to detail is second to none. His knowledge is unquestionable, yet it is his kindness and willingness to connect and learn that makes him stand out. The future looks bright for Ed
CRAIG WHITE - Leadership Mentor
it’s clear that Ed is a clear thinker, committed to providing an effective service to players and also calm under pressure. I’ve watched Ed grow into a highly competent sports medicine service lead.
He’s lead the complex rehabilitations of numerous elite rugby players, working effective with other medical specialists and members of the wider MDT. In my time as Head of S&C with Georgia, I considered Ed a critical member of the MDT. His rehab methods were effective, his ability to work players hard on their other fitness qualities and his own work ethic were all superb.
CALVIN MORRISS - Head of Athletic Performance, England Rugby
Having worked with Ed since 2018 where my career started as an intern with the Georgian national team, I contribute a large amount of my growth to him.
His knowledge, leadership and patience helped us develop an extremely well performing rehab program with both the Georgian national team and Black Lion in challenging circumstances. Socially intelligent and a highly competent professional.
