Matt Todman

Matt Todman makes no bones about his Essex boy status. After being politely asked to leave school at the age of 16, Matt had the choice to either train to become a chef or try to gain some further education. The education battle was won and after he learnt how to spell Physiotherapy, gained a place at the Middlesex hospital, London qualifying in 1992. The next 2 years in the NHS were spent making all his patients worse, and the simple discovery that if you make them worse, then do the opposite of what was taught and make them better. An 18-month period overseas, sitting on beaches whetted his appetite to officially learn more and try to gain an MSc at UCL. Funnily enough he was initially rejected for being too flippant in the interview. It was then almost impossible not to be accepted! Finally completing his MSc in 1998 and after lots of undercover work the suggestion that Matt might be really good at this physio lark was now becoming a reality. Working with Mark and teaching the McConnell concept to the UK developed, honed and focussed Matt`s skills, talent and good looks. He is now often referred to by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy to give his expert opinion on TV, radio and to the newspapers. He continues to guest lecture at different MSc courses around the UK, because he truly believes that poor physio is not on. Matt recognises, and is recognised by his cohorts for, the importance of a simple approach to often-complex musculoskeletal problems. He does so without losing any of his clinical excellence to get the very best result for every patient and from every physiotherapist in his team. You`ll find him at the weekend either pegging it along the Thames path; trying to find the next Banksy or waxing his Ford Escort, who says you can`t take the boy out of Essex!
