The Carter And George Academy

London

Our co-founders, Jamie George and Rhys Carter, established The Carter & George Practice with the vision of making elite medical treatments (usually reserved for high-level athletes) accessible to everyone. The synergy of Rhys’ professional and experienced physiotherapy background, with Jamie’s unique understanding as a professional rugby player, allows The Carter & George Practice to provide a uniquely well-rounded service to all our patients. The Carter & George Practice consists of a team of highly qualified professionals with specialist knowledge, spanning a diverse range of conditions and treatments. Our team works collaboratively to treat our patients with a balanced approach that is usually reserved for professional athletes. OUR COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO PHYSIOTHERAPY: WHAT WE DO A RAPID INITIAL APPOINTMENT THAT ELIMINATES UNCERTAINTY: We recognise the toll that pain and uncertainty can cause for our patients, which is why we guarantee an appointment within 48 hours of contacting us. From our very first meeting, you’ll be able to walk away with an accurate diagnosis and peace of mind; facilitated by a physiotherapy treatment plan and prediction of your recovery time. LONG-TERM RESULTS FOR INJURY REHABILITATION AND CHRONIC CONDITIONS: Our professional physiotherapy clinic uses manual physiotherapy techniques (hands-on) to aid in the recovery and rehabilitation of injuries, muscle spasms, and short-term challenges. However, we also offer specialist clinics for longer term conditions such as arthritis, improving the function of painful joints, and reducing your reliance on medications. PREVENTION AND STRENGTHENING: With our unique implementation of Strength & Conditioning, Gait Analysis and PNOE Metabolic Assessments, we give all of our patients access to data to train like an athlete while preventing injury, determining your unique biomechanics while walking, running, and standing – and establishing any physical limiters we can improve. This allows us to detect and treat issues before they become injuries. However, in the event of an injury, our expert team of physiotherapists and strength and conditioning coaches are on hand to diagnose, formulate a physiotherapy treatment plan, and prevent their recurrence. OVERALL HEALTH AND TRANSFORMATION: We offer more than physiotherapy and strength and conditioning: Our range of services promotes holistic health and comfort in your body. Our other services include health testing packages, bespoke orthotics, along with transformation programmes and memberships – for those who truly want to take control of their health. Our staff have broad experience working with a range of patients, from professional athletes to the elderly, and we have verified reviews and outstanding results. If there is something we cannot do for you, our close network of regional experts will be able to help.

Thanks for finding me here. I’m a self-experimenting author, speaker and wellness advocate, but it wasn’t always that way… On October 1st 2012 I sat in a hospital waiting room staring at a white notice board. When I’d arrived, the letters had been visible, but over time they’d started to fade. Punctuation marks dissolved, as if wiped off by a zealous cleaner. Every blink washed away more of my sight. Within 72 hours I was blind and paralysis had snaked up my body, leaving numbness in its wake. Losing two of my senses was terrifying and I didn’t know if I’d see my children again. For a while I lost connection with the outer world and my future was uncertain. Slowly my visual system rebooted, but the world didn’t look like it should. Grey wispy shapes swirled and eerie lines jiggled on the horizon. None of it made any sense. Over time I listened to the more subtle cues my body transmitted and learnt new ways to adapt. Months later when I started to feel, rather than see, the colour red and when blue objects fizzed and spat like a lit sparkler, my curiosity was ignited. I set out on a mission to better understand the incredible resilience and healing power of my mind. It was a journey that led to collaborations with scientists, my first book, Patient H69: The Story of my Second Sight, a TEDx talk and then a second book, Finding My Right Mind: One Woman’s Experiment to put Meditation to the Test. Nature played a huge part in my year-long recovery, so in 2021 I co-founded ParkBathe, a citizen science, green health initiative in collaboration with Derby University. The project encourages people who are wellness sceptics to experience a 1-hour version of forest bathing in urban parks and is funded by the National Lottery. Forest bathing is simply walking mindfully in nature while absorbing the woodland atmosphere via the senses. As the project is part of a research study, walkers are invited to wear heartrate (HRV) monitors which record their stress levels before and after each session. This provides each person with an individualised measure of the wellbeing benefits. Get the whole story and listen to interviews with walkers, scientists and nature guides on the ParkBathe podcast. I am partially sighted and live in London, UK, with husband and two children.
