“Slow things down, create safe space, and help people rewrite their story after injury”
“The last 10 years has taken me all over the world to support and learn from athletes, artists, performance coaches and singing teachers. It feels like everything is coming together”
I’m currently working on building awareness of the entire body when it comes to efficient and resilient vocal production by combining our functional voice therapy with MDH Breathing Coordination. In partnership with Robin De Haas and Lucy Allen we are reshaping understanding of the professional voice. Learning about the professional voice and beginning the journey of training my own, has been transformative in the way that I treat, coach, lead our team, show up for my friends and family and how I see myself.
Having full control of your breath is to have mastery over your nervous system. This enables you to remain grounded, maintain self awareness, inspire and connect with others and lead with purpose.
I am excited to be working closely with our sports community to develop specialist martial arts clinics and on site pre and post competition functional therapy. This grew out of my love for martial arts and movement and building relationships with my coaches. It lets me explore a new avenue of movement and performance and allows Prehab to continue its mission to develop injury prevention strategies and long term principle based training for the sport.
I founded Prehab in 2016, with the mission of:
Maximising patient potential following injury
Bringing strength and conditioning principled training from the athletic community to the performing arts and general population
Shifting health models toward preventative care (Prehab) rather than the pervasive reactive model
To create a space where our clients feel safe and cared for that is truly patient centred
To build a team with shared values, that want to make lasting changes to how we see health and performance
Book in with me if you want efficient diagnosis and are committed to a long term treatment planning approach. I’m taking you from injured to elite with your sprained ankle, low back pain, neck spasm, vocal fatigue and we are going to have a laugh whilst we do it.
“I’ve always been obsessed with how people move – from school sports and dance classes to athletes, dancers and fighters performing at their best.
I took a detour through Army engineering, fell in love with biomechanics, then powered into Physio and Strength & Conditioning coaching, chasing complex, high-performance problems rather than routine rehab.
Now, physiotherapy is where I get to slow things down, create safe spaces, and help people rewrite their stories after injury – walking beside them through some of the toughest moments of their careers.”

What our Clients are saying…

I can’t speak highly enough of Darel and the Prehab team. He’s one of the most dedicated and caring professionals I’ve ever met. As a medic, I really value how he respects my background but still treats me with the same care and clarity as any patient. He’s gone above and beyond so many times — truly exceptional care. Highly recommend!

I arrived at the prehab program grappling with a persistent issue of chronic shin splints, which had been a source of consistent discomfort during my running and Muay Thai training. Moreover, I later suffered a sprained ankle that further complicated my situation. Under Darel's guidance, we delved into the root causes of these problems, uncovering that many of my issues stemmed from underlying foot mechanics. Through targeted treatment and personalised exercises, Darel has been great in addressing not only the symptoms but also the foundational issues contributing to my injuries. I highly recommend Prehab to everyone.

I’ve been coming to Prehab for 2 years. It is no exaggeration to say it has changed my life. I cannot recommend Darel and the team highly enough. Darel is smart, professional and incredibly intuitive. His easy charm and unsurpassed skill make every session a joy.
