He relocated to Bournemouth in 2003, working at the Nuffield Hospital as an orthopaedic rehabilitation physiotherapist, prior to working for 2 years for the British Army. During this time Peter was working on a part time basis for the England Golf, overseeing physical screening and athletic development programmes for the countries elite amateur golfers. He also started Total Therapy on a part time basis, alongside managing the physiotherapy service at the BMI Sarum Road hospital in Winchester. Total Therapy then grew, alongside their flagship location Lilliput Health in Poole which opened in 2009.

Outside of work, Peter’s main passion is golf, which he took up only after ceasing work within the sport! Otherwise he is interested in ALL sports and is a real fan of the UFC having done several different martial arts. ‘‘I would happily have 5 TV’s in the lounge, one for each Sky Sports channel.’’

Get to know Peter! Q&A…

Why did you become a Physiotherapist? Because I wanted to do something useful for a living, and not sit behind a desk all day. My parents wouldn’t let me join the Army…….

Where would we find you in your spare time? Well, probably playing golf if the weather is decent. If not I will probably be cooking up some scheme to improve what we do!

“Did you know…. Apparently I look like Patrick Reed. My golf ‘buddies’ call me Fat-rick. Thanks!”
