SPEAKER – Ben Steele-Turner

Ben qualified with First-class honours in Physiotherapy from Bournemouth University in 2017. This allowed him to gain Chartered Physiotherapist status after a background in Personal Training and Group Workout Instructing. Ben is interested in treating all musculoskeletal issues using a completely personal approach; no pre-written exercise plans. This means he prides himself on considering each and every person, their preferences, lifestyle, sports, work and more to give a truly individualised approach. Alongside physiotherapy, Ben went on to study a Master’s degree in Human Nutrition at the University of Surrey, graduating in 2018 with distinction, allowing him to become an Associate Registered Nutritionist. He strongly believes that what we eat can play a large role in exercise performance, injury prevention and recovery. Outside of work, Ben’s main interest is weight training, having previously competed in fitness model and physique bodybuilding competitions.
