Chris Noble

I'm a Chartered Physiotherapist with a passion for helping people move better, recover from injury and get back to doing what they love. I have over 10 years' experience working in private practice and sport, and alongside my clinic role I am Lead Physiotherapist for Instonians RFC and work closely with RBAI Rugby. Outside of work I'm happiest spending time with my wife Heather, watching rugby or football, travelling, renovating our home or getting outdoors for a walk.

Seeing someone regain confidence after an injury is the best part of my job. Whether it's helping a rugby player return to competition or allowing someone to walk without pain again, knowing you've made a genuine difference to someone's life is incredibly rewarding.

Understanding why you're in pain is often the first step towards recovery, and movement is usually one of the most powerful treatments we have.

Helping athletes return to competitive rugby after serious injuries such as ACL reconstructions is always incredibly rewarding. Equally satisfying is seeing everyday patients regain independence—whether that's returning to work, playing with grandchildren or simply walking without pain.

I enjoy spending time with my wife, travelling, watching rugby and football, skiing, home renovation projects and keeping active in the gym, Padel and 5 aside football.

I've worked pitch-side with rugby teams for many years and have dealt with everything from major traumatic injuries to emergency medical situations during matches.

I enjoy combining hands-on treatment with exercise rehabilitation to achieve long-term results. I regularly use:

• Exercise Rehabilitation
• Activation Therapy
• Strength & Conditioning Principles
• Manual Therapy
• Shockwave Therapy
• Sports Rehabilitation
• Return-to-Sport Testing
• Injury Prevention Programmes

I've always been passionate about sport and helping people. Physiotherapy gave me the opportunity to combine both by helping individuals recover from injury, improve performance and stay active throughout life.

• Shoulder pain
• Back and neck pain
• Chronic Pain
• Tendinopathies
• Post-operative rehabilitation
• Sports injuries
• Knee injuries (including ACL rehabilitation)

Every appointment starts by listening carefully to your story before carrying out a thorough assessment. Together we'll identify the cause of your symptoms, explain what's happening in clear language and create a personalised rehabilitation plan. My goal is not only to reduce your pain but to give you the knowledge and confidence to manage your condition independently.

I'm continually developing my knowledge in sports rehabilitation, return-to-performance testing, strength diagnostics, ACL rehabilitation and evidence-based management of complex musculoskeletal conditions.

There's absolutely no need to worry. My priority is listening to you and understanding your concerns. We'll work together at your pace, explain everything clearly and build a treatment plan that suits your goals.

"Getting older means pain is inevitable." Ageing doesn't automatically mean you'll develop pain. Staying active, maintaining strength and addressing problems early can keep you moving well for many years.

Confident, reassured, understood and optimistic about their recovery.
