The Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, Eccleshall

Since qualifying from Bath School of Physiotherapy in 1974 Kristian has predominantly worked within the musculoskeletal sector, with a special interest in acute/sport injuries and spinal problems, partly due to his keen interest in sport; skiing and athletics in particular, and also from suffering a C2/3 subluxation followed by a fusion at the age of 23. Having such an injury in the first year of his training gave him a particular interest in spinal problems and associated treatments and a unique insight into and empathy for the patient’s experience.

Kristian has operated his own private practices both in Norway and in the UK where he has been resident since 1989. He has worked with national and international athletes in both countries, has been an ‘Expert Witness’ in UK courts for several years and briefly worked within rheumatology, neurology and geriatrics.

Kristian continues to take an interest in new developments within physiotherapy and has designed ergonomic training equipment and developed techniques of his own in his spare time. He’s also a keen athlete and still competes in most track and field disciplines including Pentathlon from county to national and international championship level.
