Speaker – Ben Steele-Turner
Ben is a musculoskeletal physiotherapist. After completing his A-levels, Ben completed a Personal Training diploma and worked in a commercial gym setting for a year before beginning a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy, from which he graduated with first-class honours in 2017.
Whilst studying, Ben became very interested in weight training and went on to compete in physique bodybuilding and fitness model competitions. This fuelled a personal interest in nutrition and, in particular, how nutrition and musculoskeletal therapy could augment each other. As a result, Ben returned to university, gaining a Human Nutrition MSc with distinction from the University of Surrey.
Ben has since been working as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist and associate-registered nutritionist. Ben primarily works from a private clinic in West Sussex with additional roles at Horsham RFC and England Athletics. Alongside this, Ben is the lead tutor on the Nutrition for Sport, Exercise & Injury module on the BSc (Hons) Sport Injury & Treatment programme at Peter Symonds Adult Higher Education College.
Outside of clinical and teaching work, Ben is currently completing a Professional Doctorate through the University of Portsmouth. His research project is based around integrating weight management and nutrition guidance to physiotherapist-led treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
