We are a collective who are passionate about delivering the best educational content in an innovative digital way that is compatible with the needs of contemporary MSK clinicians.
JACK CHEW
FOUNDER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR
Jack is the MSK Physio and broadcaster from the North of England who dreamt all this up! Alongside his work leading Physio Matters and Therapy Live, Jack is also the director of MSKReform and keeps his hand in clinically at Chews Health HQ in South Manchester.
JACK MARCH (JIM)
OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
Jim used to write the Physio Matters Podcast timelines and got carried away. He now runs the Physio Matters podcast network and Therapy Live with his unique leadership style which relies heavily on his perfectly coiffed hair.
FELICITY THOW (FLIC)
TEAM LEAD
Flic made the mistake of going to university with Jack Chew. He relied on her then for her thoroughness, planning and charm so roped her into helping out with Physio Matters on her return to the UK in 2016. Flic now leads the Physio Matters team alongside her clinical work at FT Physio.
HANNAH HUMPHRIES
OPERATIONS
Hannah is the person to talk to when you need to get things done. Wearer of multiple hats, she keeps the cogs turning.
MICHAEL SCHUMACHER
MARKETING
A wannabe physio who doesn’t know his Femur from his Fibula, we’ve relegated Michael to where his expertise lies- digital marketing.
DAVID KENNEDY
DESIGNER/DEVELOPER
Our web designer and developer extraordinaire. Responsible for creating the digital infrastructure behind Physio Matters and Therapy Live, he spends most of his time making websites look beautiful and fixing things that we break!
GEORGE GOODWIN
TEAM MEMBER
ln 2016 Physio Matters took on four students to head up a new project and having quickly integrated into the team, they have hung around ever since! In a team of loudmouths, George isn’t one and is instead pleasant and thoughtful.
AMELIA BELL-BENTLEY
TEAM MEMBER
A recent but crucial addition to the team, Amelia joined as an apprentice and has brought brilliant design flair, improving our graphics offering. Amelia’s claim to fame is having worked as an intern at Chews Health HQ over the summer of 2019 without complaining about Mark Reid.
ROB TYER
TEAM MEMBER
Rob was an early listener, early reviewer and early team recruit back in 2014! Now an elder statesmen of the team, Rob is rightfully looked up to… by the new recruits… for a few weeks. There’s never a paper he can’t find or a crucial article he’s not aware of! He is the evidence hound of the squad!
CHARLOTTE CHEW
TEAM ROLE
The ever suffering Mrs Chew is a not-so-silent partner and director of both Chews Health and Physio Matters. A sensitive but fierce leader, Charlotte is famed for ‘cutting the waffle’ out of meetings, policies and podcasts. Her early work editing TPMP earned her the nickname ‘the butcher’.
MATT MURRAY-DOWNING
TEAM ROLE
Another student recruit foolish enough to stick around. Matt (AKA MMD) is considered perhaps the most naturally gifted speaker in the team. Unfortunately though, MMD is also famed for being late to his event sessions and due to his contractual obligations with Versace, he can’t be exposed to studio lighting for any more than 4 minutes a day.
MARK REID
TEAM ROLE
These days Mark is kept busy as the clinical lead at Chews Health HQ but maintains a crucial role in the Physio Matters events team. Mark’s world view can be summarised as ‘has voice, will argue’, which makes him the perfect Physio Matters reservist as well as a ‘must-follow’ on social media
TOM JESSON
TEAM ROLE
We found him in Northumbria and soon fled to Texas… Considered one of the brightest young minds in the MSK industry, Tom has turned his hand to understanding and translating sciatica research. His penchant for evidence, velvet Geordie accent and sharp wit are tell tale signs of being mentored/groomed by Rob Tyer.
RICHARD BARNES
TEAM ROLE
Every few months, rumours spread around the MSK-sphere about a mythical creature who was there with Jack at the start of it all. Someone who helped to encourage the good ideas and beat the bad ones out of him. It is said that still to this day, he leads the line at Physio Matters after-parties to ensure that TPMP’s fun-loving reputation never fades. This may be Richard Barnes.
