More about Paul
PAUL COKER.
BSc Hons Physio,
MSc Manual Therapy
Neurally biased Movement Optimist
Paul graduated in Physiotherapy in 2001. He then worked in a wide variety of settings within the NHS gaining experience in all aspects of physiotherapy from intensive care, to hydrotherapy. In 2007 he left the NHS, packed his bags and headed to Perth, Western Australia to complete a Master’s Degree in Manual Therapy. Paul completed the course with a High Distinction (and picked up an Academic Prize in Rehabilitation along the way). Since then he has worked in Private clinics, briefly in New Zealand before returning to his adopted home of Cornwall. In 2010 Paul became one of the UKs first Certified Mulligan Practitioners. Paul worked in a variety of clinics throughout the South West before establishing his own in 2016 Move: A Physio led movement clinic was born.
From 2011-2019 Paul was the Medical Director of Rocktape UK. He designed, wrote and taught a variety of post-graduate workshops for other therapists throughout the UK and Europe. He was one of the 4 original Rocktape Master Trainers, teaching the teachers to deliver Rocktape course courses across Europe.
Throughout his career Paul has continued to learn, evolve and progress as a Practitioner constantly seeking new innovations and interventions in treatment. As such Paul has a special interest in the way conventional therapy might be better explained through a neural lens. And how viewing pain and movement through a neural lens opens up novel and exciting treatment options.
Since moving to Cornwall 20 years ago Paul has enthusiastically embraced, and dedicated countless hours to the pursuit of competence in what has to one the most of wonderfully pointless of all forms of sporting endeavour. As a result Paul is very average surfer. He has also run some unreasonably long ultramarathons, quite slowly, around Cornwalls coast.
