Jonathan Kilpatrick Chartered Physiotherapist
BSc(Hons), PGDip Sports Physiotherapy

I’m an Olympic Weightlifter in the Scotland Squad. I injured my knee two weeks before a competition. Jonny diagnosed my knee, treated it and gave me easy to understand advice on how to avoid any future injuries. Had this injury gone un-checked it would have most likely ended my career.Thanks to Jonny’s help I was able to win the following competition achieving personal bests on the day. Excellent value and really good at explaining things. If you have a niggle, whether you do sport for leisure or are a serious athlete, see Jonny!

Had my first consultation with Jonny today. All staff really friendly and professional. I left with a clear treatment plan to reduce pain I have been experiencing. I would highly recommend this practice

How long have you been practising?: Since 2006

Please explain the service you provide in your own words: I pride myself on offering my patients thorough and accurate assessments and more importantly an understanding of their injury or problem. By taking the time to help them understand their problem I see them engage with the treatment process and we achieve better outcomes together. My treatments can involve a wide variety of techniques and approaches that have been proven to be effective through years of practice experience treating everyone from sedentary desk workers to elite-level athletes.

What's the best thing about doing what you do?: Every day I get to problem solve puzzles that result in massive improvements to my patients quality of life and general well-being. No matter what the problem or goal of treatment, it is always very pleasing to hear that I've helped.

What excites you about working at Physio Effect?: I love that we are expanding the services we offer to our customers. We have always provided an excellent standard of hands-on physiotherapy injury management but had previously been unable to offer in-house services such as specialised women’s health services, running technique and coaching clinics, clinical pilates and massage. Our clinic expansion has allowed us to add these services, making our injury management much more comprehensive.

What are your dreams for your service within the company in the next year or so?: As one of the company owners, I really want to develop all of the services offered at Physio Effect so that we are recognised as the obvious choice for anyone to contact if they're in pain or looking to prevent injury. My personal goal is to develop my running coaching services for injury management as well as coaching for runners to assist them for events they want to do. To that end I am developing The Glasgow Running Clinic, a specialist running service within our clinic. Details of this can be found at Glasgow Running Clinic.

Outside of being a physio, what hobbies/interests do you enjoy?  My main interests are trail and ultra marathon running, spending time outdoors with my family and friends, as well as travelling and exploring new places. Whenever possible, I will try and combine all of these together!
