BJJ.
GRAPPLING.
MAT TIME.

Heel hooks, kimuras, neck cranks, mat-time mileage. Grappling injuries are specific — and most physios miss them. Harry trains, treats fellow grapplers, and builds protocols that get you rolling again without re-tearing the same thing twice.

HOW WE WORK
WITH BJJ ATHLETES.

SPORT-SPECIFIC. NOT A GENERIC TEMPLATE WITH THE SPORT NAME PASTED IN.
1

Mat-side assessment

Hands-on diagnosis. Test mat-specific positions — guard retention, posture, defensive frames — to find which loads the injury actually objects to.

2

Session modification

What you can roll, what you can drill, what to skip. Specific timing — first 3 minutes are diagnostic, not absolute. We adjust weekly.

3

Strength rebuild

Loading the failed tissue back to mat-ready. Guard retention force, hip strength, neck endurance. Targeted to the position you got hurt in.

4

Comp prep return

Cutting weight + ramping volume + return-to-rolling. Coordinated with your coach, not against them. Travel-ready protocols if you're competing abroad.

§ 03 — LOCAL

READING.
THAMES VALLEY.
THE SCENE.

The Reading and Berkshire grappling scene is small but serious — competitors travel to ADCC trials, IBJJF Europeans, and the UK comp circuit. We work with athletes from across the local academies and provide travel-ready protocols for international comp prep.

Common training profiles: 4–6 sessions a week split between gi and no-gi, supplemental S&C, weight-cutting cycles before comps. Rehab needs to fit around all of it.
