Sophie Gover
MSc Sports Science
LSSM Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist
UESCA Certified Running Coach
Having grown up with such a keen interest in Sport, I have a strong desire to help every athlete, novice or elite, maximise their full potential.
Through experience with high-performance teams, elite training camps, courses and personal experience, I have built up a wealth of knowledge in how to support performance and rehabilitation.
I studied Sport & Exercise Science at the University of Wales, followed by a Masters in Sports Science at Loughborough University in 2010. Since graduating I have been fortunate enough to work in various high-performance environments. This includes managing the British Skeleton team whilst abroad for International competition, and contributing to the organisation of the player medical requirements for the Rugby World Cup 2015.
I have now been a soft tissue therapist for over 9 years, qualifying with the London School of Sports Massage (LSSM) in Clinical Sport & Remedial Massage Therapy in 2015. To date I have provided advanced sports massage therapy to a wide variety of individuals, to include recreational triathletes and runners, England Athletics, British Swimming and England Rugby Sevens teams.
In 2023 I undertook further training to become qualified as a Biomechanical Running Analyst. This combined with my huge passion for helping runners and qualifying as a UESCA Running Coach, led me to become The Run Doctor.
