I’ve known Isla and her team for about 10 years and in that time they have offered outstanding treatment to all of us competitors at the Isle of Man TT races. I have had countless little injuries helped by Isla over the years but last year at the 2019 TT I arrived with 2 badly broken bones in my foot after having been in an accident racing 2 weeks before, with her outstanding knowledge and treatments every day I was able to soon walk without crutches and none of that would have been possible without her and her team’s help. I owe my two podiums at last year’s TT down to her and her fantastic team’s ability and ever increasing and cutting-edge treatments.

When I first started working with Isla, I could run, but I couldn’t do it consistently. I was stuck in a frustrating cycle of being able to run for a period of time, then having my Achilles flare up and being forced to stop again. It was very much stop-start, and I struggled to see how I was ever going to get back to training consistently enough to reach the level I wanted.

With Isla, we stripped everything right back to basics. Rather than just focusing on the Achilles itself, she looked at how my whole body was moving and wanted to understand where the problem was actually coming from. We worked on identifying weaknesses, imbalances and movement patterns that could have been contributing to the chronic Achilles issue.

That approach completely changed my rehabilitation. It wasn’t just about treating the Achilles when it became painful; it was about understanding why the problem kept coming back and building my body up properly so I could tolerate the demands of running.

Step by step, she helped me rebuild my strength, consistency and confidence. What makes the journey even more special is that I went from being stuck in a constant cycle of running and stopping to ultimately making the Commonwealth Games.

I honestly can’t thank Isla enough for everything she has done. Her knowledge, patience and belief in me played such a huge part in getting me back to doing what I love and achieving something I wasn’t sure was possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone dealing with a difficult or long-term injury.

After my wrist injury in 2010, I was lucky enough to find an incredible Physio on the Isle of Man called Isla Scott. She’s a freak with injuries and it was like she really relished the challenge of the major rehab I needed. I went to the hyperbaric chamber every day – and I saw Isla every other day. When you are sidelined, you’re out of sight, out of mind, meaning the comeback needs to be strong. It was one of the biggest crashes of my career and, as I finally came to a rest after being fired through the gravel trap, I knew straight away I had a problem with my wrist, this time my right one. I knew my season was effectively over. I also knew exactly what the rehab would involve and how long it was going to take, so I went back to the Isle of Man to sit on the couch and get back to work with Isla.

Scott Physiotherapy have sponsored me since 2007 and during this time Isla and Ben have been a pleasure to work with, both professionally and personally. As a team they are extremely proactive and always go that extra mile. After 20 years of professional trials riding I have finally found a Physio that can actually solve any niggles and issues. Scott Physiotherapy is as good as it gets!
