OUR STORY

From elite sport to everyday life

Rural Rehab began when Beth stepped away from elite sport to create a clinic that could bring the same level of knowledge, care and individual attention to everyday people.

​

After graduating with a first-class honours degree in Sport Rehabilitation, Beth spent three and a half seasons with Wakefield Trinity Super League Team, alongside previous experience with Bolton Wanderers Football Academy and Huddersfield Town Ladies.

​

Working in professional sport gave her experience across assessment, treatment, individual rehabilitation plans, injury prevention and recovery.

 

It also built relationships with clinical specialists that continue to support Rural Rehab's patients today.

"We care for everyone who walks through our doors with the expertise we've gained with elite athletes.”

WHY RURAL REHAB MATTERS

It's personal too.

Beth's interest in rehabilitation isn't only professional.

​

When she was a teenager, her mum broke her back.

​

Seeing the difference the right treatment and support made to her recovery gave Beth an early understanding of just how life-changing good rehabilitation can be.

​

Her mum was able to regain her strength and return to a full and active life, an experience that helped shape Beth's belief that treatment should never be one-size-fits-all.

​

That same principle still sits at the heart of Rural Rehab today: understand the person, not just the problem, and build a plan around them.
