Sam Deverson

MSc MCSP HCPC

Chartered Physiotherapist


I am a Chartered Physiotherapist specialising in musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy, with a strong background in sports performance, injury rehabilitation and exercise-based therapy. I am registered with the CSP (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy) and the HCPC (The Health and Care Professions Council).


I graduated from Oxford Brookes University in 2019 with a degree in Sports and Exercise Science, before completing my Master’s degree in Physiotherapy at the University of Gloucestershire in 2025. Alongside my physiotherapy qualifications, I hold additional qualifications in Sports Massage and Personal Training.


Since qualifying as a physiotherapist, I have worked in private practice as an MSK physiotherapist, treating a wide range of sporting and non-sporting injuries. I have also gained valuable experience working alongside sports teams, including Corsham and Cinderford football teams, as well as having the opportunity to work alongside the New Zealand rugby team.


My approach to physiotherapy is centred around understanding the individual, identifying the factors contributing to their injury, and developing a practical rehabilitation programme tailored to your goals. Whether you're looking to recover from an injury, return to sport, improve your strength and movement, or prevent future problems, I aim to make rehabilitation both effective and enjoyable.


Outside of physiotherapy, I enjoy challenging myself through sport and fitness. I currently compete in HYROX and regularly play football, tennis and golf. Staying active myself gives me a genuine understanding of the physical demands, frustrations and motivations that come with injury and returning to performance.

Sports Therapist


I have been a qualified Sports Therapist for 14 years having completed a Foundation Degree in Sports Therapy from the University of Bath in 2010. Prior to that I completed a Level 3 VTCT Diploma in Sport and Fitness Therapy in 2005.


Skills include:

  • Sports Massage
  • Injury Rehabilitation
  • Kinesiology Taping
  • Dry Cupping
  • Dry Needling
  • Body Massage
  • Swedish Massage
  • Pitch Side First Aid


Over the years, I have provided Sports Therapy and Pitch Side First Aid to multiple sports teams including Malmesbury Victoria FC, Minety FC, and Tetbury Rugby Club. Whilst on a gap year working in Australia, I took time out in the outback where I worked as Sports Therapist for a local rugby team, Condamine Cods.


I have always had a sporting background and have participated in multiple sports from a very early age. I have experience playing football, hockey and basketball and I represented Wiltshire in the youth games three times for swimming, basketball and hockey. I am also a brown belt in Martial Arts.

I strongly believe that you are always rewarded for the effort you put into life. I enjoy what I do and I am passionate about Sports Therapy. I want to help every client to improve and develop into the best possible version of themselves no matter their background. You do not have to be an athlete for Sports Therapy to be beneficial. Pain is often the main reason that people seek treatment, but there may be a multitude of reasons that they are experiencing pain. I will not only strive to reduce my client’s pain, I will also provide them with a personalised program to provide a lasting solution.

BSc MGosC MIO

Registered Osteopath


I graduated with a degree in Osteopathy from the College of Osteopaths and am passionate about helping patients feel better and improve mobility. Having ridden horses from a very young age and had many falls I have personally experienced the benefits of osteopathy. This sparked my interest in the field, and I decided to become an osteopath so I could help others. 


I use a variety of osteopathic techniques depending on the patient’s presentation to deliver a personalised and comprehensive treatment from structural manipulation, massage, dry needling, acupuncture and myofascial release to help my patients feel better and move more easily.


I regularly attend Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses to keep up to date with the latest research and osteopathic care, making sure I make the most suitable treatment decisions for the patients. I am also registered with GosC (General Osteopathic Council) and the IO (Institute of Osteopathy). 


When not at work I juggle a busy life as mum to my one year old daughter, horses and dogs, as well as being a farmers wife.
