A lifelong athlete, Josh grew up playing rugby before transitioning into bodybuilding, where he achieved remarkable success. In 2017, he won the Kent Classic, earning an invitation to the British Finals, where he placed 7th out of 15.

His approach combines manual therapy techniques—such as massage, acupuncture, and joint mobilizations—with tailored rehabilitation programs designed to empower clients to return to their sport or exercise pain-free and performing at their best.

In 2022, Josh founded Physio Athletic to create a space where physiotherapy and fitness converge, helping clients achieve optimal health and performance. He operates out of Sculpt and Sweat Studio, which he co-founded with his wife, Vicky, in 2023.
