MEET BEN NIXON
Ben graduated with a degree in Physiotherapy and has spent his career working at the highest levels of professional sport and private practice. His football career has taken him through the English Football League and Premier League, working as physiotherapist at Stoke City FC and Port Vale FC, as well as contributing to the England Football Associations physiotherapy provision during international tournaments, experience that few clinicians at any level can match.
Working at the sharp end of elite football demands a particular kind of clinical rigour. Every day at a professional club, the same question applies: how do we get this athlete back, fully, safely, and as fast as possible? That mindset, built over years of managing injuries in high-pressure environments, shapes everything Ben does in a clinical setting.
At UPANDRUNNING, Ben specializes in lower limb musculoskeletal injuries and is one of the clinics lead practitioners for VALD performance testing, an objective, data-driven assessment system that measures strength, power, force production and movement asymmetries with the precision used by elite sporting organizations worldwide. Whether he is managing a complex hamstring injury, guiding a post-operative knee rehabilitation, or using VALD data to build a return-to-sport program that is grounded in numbers rather than guesswork, Ben brings an elite standard of care to every patient
who walks through the door.
