About Ross

I am an Associate Professor in Musculoskeletal and Population Health, physiotherapist and university lecturer with 11 years experience at Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor level teaching in UK universities and 22 years experience as a physiotherapist. In my current role I am Programme Lead for Master of Research (University of Cumbria) and teach on undergraduate and masters health related programmes including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing and paramedic science. I also act at as a PhD supervisor and am an editor on a health related academic journal. I have worked in the NHS, military, private practice and with professional football clubs including Liverpool FC (Academy), Wigan Athletic, Carlisle United and Gillingham. I have worked at the London Olympics, Rio Olympics, Glasgow Commonwealth games, Baku European Games and London World Athletics Championships. I specialise in musculoskeletal physiotherapy but can teach all areas of physiotherapy, sports science and physiology. I am experienced in dissertation and supervision at undergraduate and masters level. I have a Postgraduate Teaching Certificate in Higher Education (Edge Hill University, England). I have a PhD in Musculoskeletal Screening (Edge Hill University, England), a MSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine (Queen Mary University, England), a MSc in Physiotherapy (University of Teesside, England) and a BSc in Sports Science and Physiology (University of Leeds, England). I have taught modules including anatomy and physiology, sports injuries and research methods. I am a Cochrane Review trained author and specialise in systematic reviews. I have published 36 peer reviewed research articles and book chapters and my work is cited in academic journals over 300 times. I have presented at international conferences including the Chartered Society Of Physiotherapy Conference. I have also worked teaching sports therapy students and have published an article regarding pedagogy approaches with students. I am passionate for languages and hold a TEFL qualification. I speak Spanish and Portuguese and have travelled extensively through Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil. In a number of these countries I worked teaching English and as a volunteer. I am friendly and outgoing and enjoy meeting students from all over the world through Superprof. Some of my publications include: Relph N, Greaves H, Armstrong R, Prior TD, Spencer S, Griffiths IB, Dey P, Langley B (2022). Running shoes for preventing lower limb running injuries in adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Issue 8. Art. No: CD013368. Armstrong R, Relph N (2021). Screening tools as a predictor of injury in gymnastics: Systematic Literature review.

About the lesson

I enjoy seeing my students grow and develop their knowledge to become effective practitioners. I am patient and courteous and I am always willing to answer questions. I believe that no single approach is appropriate for all and I believe that guided discovery is of particular value in the field of healthcare.

Perfect! During the final year of my Physiotherapy degree Ross supported me with a big research project. I had several lessons with him over the course of 5 months and he helped me brainstorm ideas, answered my questions and gave me feedback, which is exactly what I needed! He truly went above and beyond my expectations and I couldn’t be more grateful for his help. Before I first started having lessons with Ross I felt so lost and overwhelmed, but thanks to him I am handing in my project today with a smile on my face! I hit quite a few brick walls along the way, but he always helped me overcome them. From day one Ross has been extremely reliable and always responded promptly to emails, not forgetting he is extremely knowledgeable and a really friendly tutor. I could not have wished for anyone better and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks again Ross for everything!

*ROSS HELPED ME WHEN OTHERS WOULD NOT* - I found Ross after having difficulty at university in my final year, with my own lecturers not supporting me the way I should have been, and students whom I had helped previously turning their backs on my request for assistance. If it wasn't for Ross, I likely would not have passed. I ended up achieving a 2.1, which I was incredibly pleased about because I went from wanting a 1st to wanting to simply pass (which means a 3rd), so to end up with a 2.1 was testament to my hard work and the help afforded to me by Ross. The 2.1 also allowed me to retain the offer of a job I had received; a job I am still in today. He proofread my work, supported me, guided me, and advised me on assignments and some of my dissertation (circumstances out of his control meant we couldn't work together much on this). He taught me how to write more succinctly and helped develop my criticality. I cannot understate the role Ross had in those last few months of my degree. I suffer from severe anxiety and experienced two nervous breakdowns in that time. Ross, therefore, played a huge part in me becoming a better writer, professional and person. Ultimately, Ross did the job my own lecturers could not. It is something I will never forget. THANK YOU!

Find out more about Ross

1) When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?
I have always had an interest in health and improving peoples heath and well-being. I have worked as a physiotherapist for 22 years and have a thirst for knowledge and self-development which I hope to pass onto my students. I first commenced private tutoring in 2000.
Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).
I teach all elements of physiotherapy that form components of degree and masters programmes. I also supervise PhD students. My specialist area is Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation and I am also able to teach neurological and respiratory physiotherapy. I have taught Sports Science and Physiology and Sports Therapy at undergraduate and masters level. I also enjoy designing research projects and have supervised numerous student dissertations.
Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?
I have no specific role model but appreciate all individuals who try to help people develop via education.
What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?
I do not think there is a specific recipe to be a good tutor as every subject and student that you work with is different. Therefore I would say adaptability and a thirst for knowledge are the key elements. I am hardworking, knowledgeable and enjoy helping students reach their maximum potential.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.
When I was a student the methods of teaching were very different and students were excepted to use self-directed learning far more frequently than they are today. For one French exam I bought a revision book and taught myself and ended up receiving a grade A. I remember the teacher was shocked and did not realise I had this level of language ability. This made me realise I had an aptitude for self-directed learning and that teachers needed to understand their individual students and their learning styles more effectively.
What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?
Healthcare development is subject to government funding and therefore the speed of research development is often not at the speed I would like it to be. This means that new innovations perhaps do not occur as quickly as the can and results in health inequalities.
Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?
I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world and hearing about the courses and aspirations and this allows me to enhance my own knowledge. I have done this via travel to other healthcare institutes and universities and via the internet.
What makes you a Superprof (besides answering this interview questions :-P) ?
I have vast experience in my subject area and have published and presented my work internationally. I generally enjoy learning and teaching.

University physiotherapy lecturer (PhD) with 22 years physio experience offering online physiotherapy/physiology/anatomy/scientific writing/research methods tuition
