Gordon is one of our Aristos Sports Massage Therapists, Personal Trainers and Exercise Based Rehab Coach! Here is Gordon’s story…

“After changing my career path in 2015 from engineering, I completed a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science as well as a Masters by Research (MRes) degree looking into the influence of hamstring force production and maturity status on football-specific motor performance in elite youth football players.

During this time, I worked in professional football as a Sport Scientist, working with the Motherwell FC and Kilmarnock FC academies, and most recently as the first team Sport Scientist at Queen’s Park FC in a season during which we gained promotion to League 1! My time working in football was highly enjoyable, however I have always been interested in helping people recover from injuries. I therefore decided to move into the area of Sports Massage and Rehabilitation, embarking on a role as Orthotics Consultant and Sports Massage Therapist at an established private clinic in Aberdeenshire. This brings me to where I am today, where I love supporting people through their rehab, health and fitness journey with the Aristos team!

In my free time I enjoy running, going to the gym and playing / watching football. More recently, I have also found a new love for walking and exploring the country!”
