About Us
- Bolton Sports Staff
- University of Bolton, Lancashire, United Kingdom
- We are lecturers and practicing professionals in Sports Science and Rehabilitation. Our undergraduate BSc/BA (Hons) Sports programmes are dynamic vocational degrees delivered with the physically active in mind, whether that is within the local community, the recreational or professional athlete. Our experience and expertise in professional sport and private industry allows the sports student to gain first hand and current knowledge in the field of sports medicine, exercise and training. We maintain strong links in industry, which provides our students opportunities for excellent work experience placements. Community events also allow students to voluntarily offer their skills to assist the competitor, which further strengthens the role and credibility that our sports students play within the health and exercise medicine spectrum. Our in-house Sports & Spinal Injuries Clinic and Athlete Development Centre also provide our means of actual practice and teaching where we welcome anyone wishing to have their injury managed, or fitness tested, advised and monitored to the highest standards using recent and researched methods to access our facility in Bolton One.

Ben Cormack, Mike Nicol, Mark Airey, Tom Sturdy, Dr John Morgan, Cyclone Airwalk, and our own Fionnuala Geoghegan put on excellent sessions and presentations that made the day so well. Thanks also to Bolton students - the day wouldn't have gone smoothly without you!

Recovery session for USA boxers
This morning all staff and a small student team welcomed the whole USA boxing team for their recovery session after a heavy week of training in preparation for the Olympics next week. Massaging, stretching, mobilising and manipulating the Olympic hopefuls helped the boxers feel 'normal' again! A successful day's work! Good luck next week.
