Tom Jenkins has brought his practice Vida Physio to Winchester Hill, meaning he can spend more time with his young family - while treating a host of sports injuries.

Since opening in January, Tom has already helped an injured sky diver and wing walker, plus everything from overzealous school children to those trying to continue running into their retirement and everything in between.

Tom has worked all over the world with professional hockey players and footballers, including England's Jack Grealish, former Scotland keeper Bob Wilson and Ellen White, the leading goalscorer for The Lionesses. 

He worked at The Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, at tournamnets in such far flung places as Malaysia and Greece, for AFC Bournemouth and Notts County football clubs, and during a charity trek up Mount Kilimanjaro for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.

Tom will be applying all the skills he's learnt along the way on, as well as using up to the minute technology which allows each client to download an app and track their progress.

"Elite athletes know their bodies and why shouldn't we? We've started to go down the road of having smart watches, which measure your steps and heart rate, and I believe medical data should be the same. It gives you more control and awareness of the injury.

"I try to teach people more about their bodies as a preventative measure against injuries. Hopefully everyone learns something from their rehab and is able to apply it in the future."
