Physiotherapy Experts at Kingswood AFC

Ed Ley and Doug Pringle
Ed Ley is a qualified sports therapist, personal trainer and nutritionist. He worked with the Welsh Rugby Union and Bristol Rovers, among other sports clubs, as well as running a private business as a health and fitness consultant. While working with a number of clubs he became frustrated with their approach to the health and fitness of their players.

Ed Ley teamed up with Douglas Pringle (physiotherapist, lecturer and golf specialist) and together they decided to build a comprehensive Injury treatment, rehabilitation and fitness system at Kingswood AFC. In their second season now, they have managed to build a system to rival most nationwide football clubs with a strong mission statement that is to view injury prevention above injury treatment. Utilising the latest research, they have spent time, both with individual players, and the teams as a whole, teaching low load pilates bases exercises and functional dynamic stretching to help prevent the most common of sports injuries such as hamstring strains, lower back pain and ankle sprains.

When I joined Kingswood AFC I was still suffering from one of a string of hamstring and lower back injuries that have plagued my football career. Having seen a number of medical professionals to no avail, I was sure these injuries were something I would just have to accept. Doug and Ed took me through a complete physical and along with a number of exercises, stretches and ultra sound to treat the injury, they discovered that I had one leg longer that the other! After having an orthotics fitted, I have not had any injury problems since. This is all thanks to the fantastic medical team at Kingswood AFC.

I have been struggling for years with constant pain in the front of my right leg, sometimes stopping me from playing. When I joined Kingswood, Ed and Doug did lots of tests to see if I had any weaknesses to work on. After some acupuncture with Doug I was given some strengthening exercises and stretches and I am now playing pain free for the first time in years.
