• JON BOWSKILL

    Rehabilitation and performance consultant

Jon is a degree certified specialist in human movement and exercise conditioning.

As well as his Honours degrees from Leeds Metropolitan University he has studied and trained around the world with the American College of Sports Medicine, The American Council on Exercise, the CHEK Institute, the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute and the FMA strength institute. He is a member of the British Association of Sports and Exercises Science, Fitness Professionals UK, the IDEA association of America and is an associate member of the Royal Society of Medicine. He is also proud to sit on the courtesy faculty of Florida International University’s doctoral programme in athletic training.​He has worked with clients from all walks of life and his particular interest is in helping people return from injury to normal daily activities, be that playing with their kids or winning a Major championship. Alongside regular clients he has worked with European Tour and PGA golfers, Formula One drivers, professional rugby and football players, and other high profile personalities across film, television, business and finance.​In his spare time Jon is also a keen mountain biker, cross country skier and adventurer and is currently training as a mountain guide.

JON’S PROCESS

Jon’s approach to prescribing exercise and recovery strategies is based upon a uniquely detailed assessment including various tools, techniques and technology that he has brought together over some 25 years in practice.

Stage 1

His initial assessment typically takes 90-120 minutes and allows him to build up a comprehensive picture of the following areas:

  • Static and dynamic posture
  • Functional movement patterns
  • Joint ranges of motion
  • Isolated and functional strength and power assessment
  • Nutrition and lifestyle factors
  • Stress and resilience Injury history and inter relationships
  • Understanding of previous imaging and surgery history

Stage 2

Once this data has been gathered and assessed Jon will create a strategy for you taking into account all different aspects affecting your recovery. This strategy may include recommendations for manual therapy such as physiotherapy, osteopathy, massage or exercise supervision.

The core element of your programme in most cases will be a bespoke exercise programme which will include stretches and mobilisations as well as strengthening exercises suitable for your current position. This will typically take 60-90 minutes to learn.

These exercises are put together to provide the basis of the plan to work towards functional restoration. This system is based on helping you with the treatment from specialists in the first stages and then moving towards coaching so that you can learn how to look after your own body for the longer-term specific to your history, needs and goals for the future.

The goal of the exercise programmes is to improve independence and self-management with support and then gradually increasing fitness and resilience for the future.

This strategy may include recommendations for musculoskeletal podiatry and further biomechanical analysis, physiotherapy or osteopathy, remedial massage or nutritional and lifestyle advice.

Stage 3

Jon typically then reassesses clients at 8-12 week intervals and following this your exercise programme will be progressed gradually increasing the complexity and loading parameters to improve your body’s ability to cope with increasingly complex tasks and movements. As you get fitter and stronger the programmes will gradually evolve into a strength, conditioning and fitness plan with the goal of creating resilience for the future so you can go back to everyday tasks or sports with less risk of recurrence in the future.

TESTIMONIALS

TECHNOLOGY

1080 QUANTUM

The 1080 Quantum is the most accurate and versatile system available for quantifying the factors of force, speed and power.

The versatility of 1080 Quantum allows it to be used in a wide range of applications, from general physical rehabilitation to advanced sports conditioning. By applying individually optimized loads and speeds, in the concentric as well as eccentric phase of a movement, it is possible to increase training intensity and stimulate the neuromuscular system beyond the ability of traditional forms of training.

As a result, your performance will increase, while using a lower total load as well as fewer repetitions and training sessions. This translates to a reduction of potentially damaging stress on joints and soft tissue, more time for recovery and more time for other activities.

1080 MAP

1080MAP assesses, analyses and optimises movement patterns to maximise your physical performance.

Assessment

Systematic combination and measurement of movement patterns in standing positions to quantify function. Quantification of mobility, stability, strength, power, endurance and performance.

Analytics

Scores of different tests are combined and directly linked to each other to create unique individual profiles. All profiles reflect physical performance, identify physical limitations and hidden potential.

Optimisation

1080MAP™ results in highly specific and individualised treatment and training programs that will optimise functional performance.

LECTURES & SEMINARS

Jon has presented, lectured and taught workshops around the world. This has recently included presentations for:

The British Dental Association
The European Scanning Centre Symposium
Athletic 1080 Conference
Happen Innovation Consulting
Moore Europe Capital Management

Jon is available to talk on a multitude of topics relating to health, wellbeing rehabilitation and performance both for sport and in the work place.
