Thomas Corkett

Remedial Sports Massage Therapist/Online Coach at Odyssey-                                          2022 to present

After obtaining the necessary qualifications and additional certifications, I integrated these with personal training. I use my experience and knowledge to assist, guide, and educate clients. This includes hands-on therapy, aftercare, as well as providing lifestyle and fitness advice, all of which contribute to effective rehabilitation and recovery.

I have experience working with a range of clients, including those presenting with general injuries such as whiplash, sprains, strains, and lower back complaints, as well as individuals recovering from surgery and patients undergoing cancer treatment.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals in improving their well-being and longevity. I continuously expand my knowledge and pursue new qualifications and experiences to provide the highest standard of care for those seeking my treatments.

My work involves using knowledge of Biomechanics to assist clients with recovery and strength development in preparation for future activities. I also support professional athletes throughout their injury rehabilitation and post-recovery phases by providing ongoing guidance. The training and coaching methods applied are based on established principles that aim to facilitate physical and mental development. Additionally, I assist clients managing various health conditions, including those undergoing cancer treatment such as breast cancer, brain tumours, and individuals with cerebral palsy.

I assist business professionals and athletes with injury management, mental health, physical fitness, and overall wellbeing to promote long-term health and performance. Additionally, I conduct group classes and collaborate with athletes from a range of sports, including equestrian, triathlon, swimming, rugby, cycling, and football.

My background is in client development and rehabilitation. My method emphasizes supporting individuals in enhancing their well-being and performance in their selected sport or activity, rather than concentrating solely on appearance.

Self Employed PT -                                                                                                                      2018 to present   

As a self-employed personal trainer and online coach, I manage all aspects of my business. I specialise in training clients with physical or mental health issues, whether congenital or injury-related. My coaching helps clients become stronger and healthier, aiming for their conditions to no longer define them.

My training approach focuses on ensuring optimal body function and movement, with the objective of promoting lifelong fitness, health, and strength. This includes a strong emphasis on biomechanics and injury prevention. I tailor my programs to meet the unique requirements of each individual. My clientele includes professional athletes as well as musicians, for whom I provide both training and nutritional planning. 

The Royal Marines –                                                                                                                  2007 to 2018

After 32 weeks of rigorous recruitment, I earned the Royal Marines Commandos green beret—a significant achievement that developed my mental toughness, which I now share with clients. I operated in challenging, high-pressure environments, led teams of up to 12 marines, and ensured their physical and emotional wellbeing. As a Royal Navy clearance diver trainee, I served as troop leader, was named best recruit, and led my unit to win best troop. Strong communication and organization enabled our success in demanding situations. I also represented the Navy and Royal Marines in swimming and rugby union, competing against professionals and training under top coaches. Unfortunately, an injury brought my military career to an early close.
