My name is Adam and I’m a second-year physiotherapy student living locally in Bournemouth. Alongside my academic studies, I play competitive non-league football and have proudly represented my university team. I have a strong passion for running, I regularly take part in park runs and have completed several half-marathons. In addition, I enjoy going to the gym and I’m deeply interested in fitness, rehabilitation, and injury prevention.

My motivation to become a physiotherapist stems from a long-standing passion developed at a young age, having witnessed the positive impact physiotherapy has had on my family. With a strong sporting background, I have also personally experienced the benefits of physiotherapy, which has deepened my appreciation for the vital role rehabilitation plays in recovery and injury prevention to optimise performance. This combination of personal experience and professional interest has inspired my commitment to pursuing a career in physiotherapy.

I have a genuine passion for helping others and I’m driven by a desire to see people thrive and reach their full potential. Through physiotherapy, I aim to support individuals in achieving their personal goals by playing an active role in their recovery and well-being. I find great fulfilment in seeing the positive outcomes physiotherapy can deliver and the meaningful impact it can have on people’s lives.

What drew me to physiotherapy wasn’t just the idea of helping so many people but the fascination with how the human body works, adapts, and heals. My decision to pursue physiotherapy really started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. While working in the hospital, I saw first-hand the physical toll the virus took on patients, hearing stories of individuals who couldn’t walk just a couple of months earlier but were now on their feet again thanks to physiotherapy. I’ve now had the chance to see just how powerful and life-changing this career can be whilst studying. Whether it’s helping someone walk again after a stroke or simply improving their day-to-day mobility, being a part of someone’s journey back to health is something I find extremely rewarding.

I love being outdoors and keeping active. Spending my spare time enjoying long walks along the coast or trying to conquer a bouldering wall. I also love spending time with my friends and family, and I’m always up for a bit of adventure - skydiving for charity was a recent highlight! Travelling is a big part of who I am, exploring different cultures, especially through food was a highlight when I was in the South of Thailand. I believe these life experiences have made me someone who is approachable, supportive and open-minded when helping people achieve their goals through health and wellbeing.

Bradley White is a second-year BSc physiotherapy student with a passion for musculoskeletal physiotherapy and sports rehabilitation, aspiring of a career helping athletes return and maintain their performance at a high level. Bradley is excited about working closely with university level athletes to enhance his hands on skills whilst helping them to recover, improve performance and prevent future injuries.

Bradley has developed fundamental knowledge on manual therapy, exercise prescription and assessment/ treatment techniques. This was aided by gaining relevant skills inside and outside of university by completing a sports taping course, clinical placements in outpatients’ settings and relevant units.

The reason Bradley chose to study physiotherapy is largely due to his love of A-level Physical Education, where he developed an interest in human movement and rehabilitation. Additionally, his personal experiences as a patient have given him a first-hand perspective into how beneficial physiotherapy can be and the effects it can have on an athlete’s motivation. For this reason, Bradley wants to give athletes the highest standard of physiotherapy care that he can.

Outside of Physiotherapy, Bradley excels in both university and local hockey teams, having competed at a high level. Additionally, he is a keen runner, having completed the Bournemouth Half Marathon last year in a time of 1hr 45minutes. His passion for sport extends outside of the classroom which provides a unique perspective for how he wishes to apply what he gains in his studies.
