More about our team’s ethos

Stuart Goldfinch

  • My journey isn't typical:

    A decade of experience working with:

    • Elite athletes

    • UK Special Forces

    • CrossFit champions

    • Everyday warriors

    But here's what makes it different:

    While others focused on quick fixes,

    I obsessed over root causes.

    The result?

    I've helped thousands recover from:

    • Chronic injuries others couldn't solve

    • "Permanent" pain that disappeared

    • Issues that kept coming back

    Until they found me.

    Now I'm scaling this impact.

    I've built an incredible team at FM Physio Liverpool.

    Because everyone deserves elite-level care.

    Not just athletes.

    Want to learn more about our approach?

    Let's connect.

  • Here's what I believe about recovery:

    Most practitioners get it wrong.

    They focus on:

    • Quick fixes

    • Surface-level treatment

    • Temporary solutions

    • Symptom management

    But here's the truth:

    Real recovery requires more.

    My core beliefs:

    1. Every injury tells a story

    The symptoms aren't the problem

    They're just the messenger

    2. Root causes matter

    Treating symptoms is like muting an alarm

    Without fixing what triggered it

    3. Recovery is personal

    Cookie-cutter solutions don't work

    Customised care does

    4. Education is essential

    Understanding your body Is key to preventing future issues

    That's why we built FM Physio differently.

    Because beliefs without action are just words.

    Remember:

    Your body deserves better than a band-aid solution

    It deserves complete recovery.

  • I don't just treat movement.

    I live it.

    Most physios clock out and go home.

    I clock out and hit the trails.

    Here's my weekly rhythm:

    • Trail running

    • Crushing HYROX workouts

    • Hiking peak distances

    • Practicing functional movement

    • Regular sauna sessions

    Why does this matter?

    Because I believe in walking the talk.

    Think about it:

    How can I guide your recovery if I don't:

    • Understand the demands of training

    • Know how the body responds

    • Experience the challenges firsthand

    • Test recovery methods personally

    This isn't just a job.

    It's a lifestyle.

    Every trail run teaches me something new.

    Every HYROX workout challenges my limits.

    Every hike builds my understanding.

    And all of it makes me a better practitioner.

    Remember:

    The best guides aren't standing on the sidelines.

    They're right there in the trenches with you.

    Want to connect with someone who truly gets it?

    Let's talk movement.

Charlie Baker

  • From international karate to elite sports therapy:

    My journey taught me one thing.

    Pain doesn't discriminate.

    But neither does recovery.

    I've treated:

    • Premier League academies

    • Professional rugby players

    • Elite martial artists

    • Motorsport champions

    But my proudest work?

    Transforming chronic pain cases others gave up on.

  • After treating elite athletes and chronic pain cases, here's what I believe:

    Your body isn't broken.

    Your approach might be.

    Most therapists focus on:

    • Quick fixes

    • Passive treatments

    • Temporary relief

    I believe in more:

    • Pain isn't permanent.

    • Movement is medicine.

    • Recovery is a skill.

    • Strength can be rebuilt.

    • Limits are mostly mental

    But my biggest belief?

    Everyone deserves elite-level care.

  • The martial arts mindset changed everything.

    Competing internationally in Karate taught me lessons I use daily in clinic:

    Precision matters

    Small adjustments make massive differences

    Mental strength drives physical recovery

    My 2nd dan black belt wasn't just about fighting.

    It was about understanding:

    • Movement mastery

    • Body awareness

    • Mental resilience

    • Progressive development

    These principles transform how I treat:

    • Every patient is unique

    • Every movement has purpose

    • Every recovery needs discipline

Kate Bennett sports therapist

Kate Bennett

  • My journey treating bodies around the world has taught me ONE thing:

    Your body keeps the receipts of everything you do to it.

    From desk warriors with tech neck to ultra-marathoners pushing limits... I've seen it ALL.

    My experience:

    • BSc qualified Sports Therapist

    • Level 3 Personal Trainer certification

    • Worked across chiropractic clinics in the UK & Australia

    • Treated athletes prepping for 30 marathons in 30 days (yes, really!)

    For the past 2 years, I've been traveling and treating everyone from:

    • Corporate professionals whose bodies are SCREAMING from 8+ hours of sitting

    • Athletes demanding peak performance for extreme challenges

    The human body is INCREDIBLE, but only if you understand how to maintain it.

  • Prevention is just as important as treatment.

    Your body is SCREAMING to be understood.

    We obsess over fixing what's broken, but completely ignore maintaining what works.

    Here's what I believe:

    • Prehab > Rehab (Prevention ALWAYS beats cure)

    • Post-injury doesn't mean weaker - it's an opportunity to rebuild STRONGER

    • Understanding your body isn't optional - it's ESSENTIAL

    • Movement is a gift - treat it that way

    Every time you move, you're either strengthening or weakening your future self.

    So which will you choose?

  • The human body never ceases to amaze me.

    One day I'm flipping through the air as a gymnast.

    The next I'm skiing down mountains at 40mph.

    Then I'm guiding others as a personal trainer.

    Now I'm traveling the world, adapting to new environments daily.

    And through it all, my body says:

    "Give me the challenge. I'll figure it out."

    This isn't just my story.

    It's human potential in action.

    What I've learned about adaptation:

    • Your body wants to be challenged

    • The mind quits long before the body does

    • "Impossible" usually means "unpracticed"

    • Consistency beats intensity every time

    The science backs this up: A Stanford University study (April 2025) shows that cross-disciplinary physical training creates neural pathways that accelerate learning in ALL physical domains.

    So stop putting yourself in a box.

    Your body is waiting to show you what it can do.

    What have you always wanted to learn but thought you couldn't?

    Maybe it's time to find out.
