Our Team

Gordon Bosworth

Clinical Director

Gordon spent his formative years in the Royal Air Force (1976–1992) as a member of the Physical Education Branch. While serving he trained at Queen Elizabeth’s Military Hospital Woolwich and later at the RAF School of Physiotherapy, qualifying in 1983 and further studied post-grad with Osteopaths and Chiropractors.

After several tours of duty on various units, including rehabilitation units at Headley Court and Chessington, he left the RAF to take up the position of Head of Rehabilitation at the Police Rehab Centre in Goring-on-Thames, and at the same time moved into private practice.

He has been the Senior Governing Body Physiotherapist to the British Bobsleigh and Bob-Skeleton Team (1996–2006, including four years as Performance Director) and was a member of the Great Britain teams at the Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan (1998), Salt Lake City, USA (2002), and Torino, Italy (2006).

Gordon was Medical Lead for the Canadian Speed Skating Team at the Vancouver Olympic Games (2010) and Chief Physiotherapist to UK Athletics/British Athletics at the London Olympic Games (2012). He attended the Olympic Holding Camp with Canada in Sochi, Russia (2014) and the PyeongChang Winter Games in Korea (2018), again with Canada.

Gordon has been a Consultant to several professional football teams, including Bolton Wanderers, Liverpool, Wigan Athletic, Derby County, QPR and Sunderland.

Gordon currently acts as a Consultant to London Irish RFC, as well as to several track and field athletes.

Gordon passionately believes in striving for excellence and making sure the service he and his colleagues provide is the best it can be. To this end he spends many hours improving his knowledge and skills and an equal number of hours mentoring and teaching others. Courses can be found on the website.

“It is this constant transfer of information that enables a practitioner to grow, given that we can never know enough, there is no time to waste, understanding the why is more important than the what.”

Ruari Scott

Osteopath

Ruari has been a practising Osteopath since 2003, after graduating from the British School of Osteopathy in London. Previously Director of the highly regarded Breakspeare Clinic in the Wychwood Valley, he has now moved to the other side of the county and brings his experience and expertise to The Bosworth Clinic team. Over the past 12 years, Ruari has held a number of educational posts, including Lecturer and Tutor at Oxford Brookes University, and Senior Lecturer at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Edinburgh and Birmingham. He is passionate about education, and applies this to both his students and his patients, should they wish it!

Ruari has remained open-minded regarding treatment, enabling him to provide a wide range of treatment modalities to suit most types of problems and people. He strongly believes in the idea of looking at the whole body to understand why it has gone wrong, and how to improve it. This generalist approach reduces the chances of missing vital clues in a diagnosis at the beginning. This fits well with the whole ethos of the Bosworth Clinic, but comes at it from a slightly different viewpoint. He is very happy to talk to people about osteopathy and how it fits into the world of physical therapy. Just ask!

He first started his career working at Southampton General Hospital as well as volunteering at his local rugby club, Redingensians.

Since then, he has gone on to gain experience in a wide variety of sports from Fencing and Archery to Short-Track Speed Skating, Triathlon, Rugby 7’s, Cricket, Netball, Athletics, Swimming and Basketball to more recently Beach Volleyball at this year’s Commonwealth Games.

Simon Lant

Physiotherapist & Soft Tissue Therapist

Simon comes from a sporting background of rugby, powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting; as such, he has discovered first-hand the frustrations of injuries. His passion for physiotherapy comes from wanting to understand why something has occurred, realising that the best way to treat injuries is to address the whole picture and work with the person holistically. He started his career undertaking a sports massage qualification, working alongside Cambridge & Coleridge and Cambridge University Athletics Club. A close working relationship with the coaching staff allowed him to expand his knowledge and drive a further desire of knowledge on biomechanics and treatment of the human body.

Looking to develop further, Simon enrolled in an MSc in Physiotherapy at Brunel University London. During his time studying, Simon worked alongside Linford Christie, as a therapist for his academy’s athletes and was the lead soft tissue therapist for the Brunel Sports Scholar programme, supporting them through their training and British University & Colleges Sports competitions. He went to several national events with the Brunel Weightlifting team, keeping athletes in optimal performing condition and working on injury prevention by collaborating with the head coach for their programmes.

Simon understands both the physical and mental demands of being out of your favourite sport and takes great pleasure in working with his athletes; to optimise performance, prevent injuries and work holistically to rehabilitate back to competition. Currently he is working with Oxford University’s rugby teams, as well as the women’s lightweight rowing club. Supporting them through their training and aiming to give them an edge over Cambridge!
