Which golfers do you work with as a physiotherapist and fitness trainer on the PGA Tour?

"I currently work for Justin Rose, Ian Poulter, Ben Curtis, Frederik Jacobson and Brian Davis."

Does this mean that you have to follow them around the world as they play in tournaments?

"To an extent, however they all play predominantly on the PGA tour in the United States. This means most of my time is spent following this tour around the US. However I do come to Europe for the bigger events such as the Open and the PGA, as some of my players will have such events scheduled into their year. I try to cover about 20 events per player (i.e.. about 70 per cent of tournament play) to keep some consistency for each player."

Because you're traveling so much, how do you deal with referrals to specialists if the players require them?

"Difficult one, but often word of mouth is always good! Most of my players base themselves out of Orlando and we have made good contact with Doctors and Specialists in the area, they deal with other sporting athletes and teams having access to first-class facilities and technology."
