Samantha Griffiths BSc (Hons), MSST

Graduate Sports Therapist

Hi my name is Sam and I am the proud Founder of Kinesis Sports Therapy.

I graduated with an Upper Second-Class Honours Degree in Sports Therapy from the University of Gloucestershire in 2016. I am a fully insured member of The Society of Sports Therapists, which is the lead organisation for Graduate Sports Therapists in the UK. Membership of the Society is only gained at Graduate level via a Society Accredited Degree programme.

ABOUT ME

I am a member of Birchfield Harriers, the UK’s Premier Athletics Club, based in Perry Barr, the home of Alexander Stadium, Birmingham.

I specialise in the 100m, a speed, power and strength event that requires a technical prowess and therefore have vast knowledge and have the skillset to prevent and rehabilitate any potential injury, any sportsperson may encounter.

I have experienced an array of injuries (including lower limb stress fracture) and understand the frustrations any sports performer or any recreational athlete may have recovering from injury. I also understand how finding the right clinician for you is crucial for Sports Performance, Recovery and Rehabilitation.
