Alex Chester

I (along with Matt) founded Flex Health in 2015 following 6 seasons at Hull City (Tigers) working as part of their first team medical staff. I got the glory years which included years in the premier league and the FA cup final.

Alex has two graduations under his belt with a BSc Physiotherapy from the University of Salford and a BSc in Sport rehabilitation form the University of Hull. I enjoy training and keeping active along side managing my own long list of knee injuries.

In my spare time I enjoy socialising and travelling. I love my two sausage dogs who I have rescued, Blue and Pepper.

Matt Booth

I started my career in Professional Sport working at Hull City through the glory years of Steve Bruce, the Premier League and the FA Cup Final.

I developed new and innovative strategies of Physiotherapy work that I wanted to bring to the public and show them a new way of Physiotherapy therefore I started Flex Health in 2015 with Alex.

Since 2015 to the present day we have strived to make Flex Health the leading Physiotherapy and wellbeing provider in the region.

Personally, I enjoy throwing down at the gym daily and following my beloved Sheffield Wednesday who unfortunately have been miserable for 32 years of my life.

Stuart Leake

I graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 2006 and have pursued a career in elite sports from the off. Since graduating I have held roles within the NHS and the private sector. My elite sporting CV includes Featherstone Rovers, Hull Kingston Rovers, Hull Cricket, Triathlon England, Yorkshire Carnegie RUFC, Hull City AFC, Brisbane Roar, Rubin Kazan, Bristol Rovers and Wigan Athletic.

I hold a Masters degree in Sports Physiotherapy from Bath University; have delivered lectures to university students and my peers at international conferences, culminating in an invitation to FC Barcelona by their medical team to discuss groin rehabilitation.

Due to these experiences and my dealings with hundreds of injuries, I treat my patients like I do any elite athlete. I use hands on physiotherapy treatment and modalities to ensure that the injured area is protected, enabling the body to regenerate and repair. This approach to physiotherapy and your subsequent rehabilitation will lead to reduced inflammation and pain, decreasing the time the injury will affect your day-to-day life therefore restoring your function quickly.

I pride myself in delivering a consistent high quality of care that elite sporting professionals would be pleased to receive. I believe that I am ideally placed to help each person to restore function and build their resilience through tailored rehabilitation.

Sam Carter

I have worked in the industry for 6 years now and I’m still very passionate and enjoy helping MSK and Neuro patients achieve their goals and seeing them improve.

Having sporting and outdoor interests and hobbies, I have particular interest in these populations, but getting anyone back to what they want to be is enjoyable for me.

Outside of work, I enjoy taking part and watching all forms of sport, particularly cricket and football.

I enjoy eating new and tasty food as well as watching the mighty Sheffield Wednesday enjoy some intermittent success!

Lisa Jenkins

I’ve been working at Flex for nearly 3 years now leading the paediatric department as well as treating adult MSK conditions.

I absolutely love my job but when I’m not at work I’m always busy doing the things I enjoy. My family is everything and I love spending as much time as possible with my gorgeous twin daughters and adorable bulldog, Button.

I’m currently in full planning mode for my fiancé and I’s wedding next year and have numerous lists - can’t wait! I love keeping fit, going on long countryside walks and having a healthy lifestyle, but also love going out for food and drinks with my friends. Seeing live indie rock music is one of my passions as is going to Westend musicals whenever I get the chance.

We go to our house in Corfu 2 or 3 times a year; my favourite part of the trip is always driving a speedboat at maximum speed around the bays below our village!

Alex Hastie

My interest in how the human body works and love for sport and physical activity. After finishing my degree in Sport Rehabilitation, I began working with Hull City Academy alongside seeing personal clients before starting with Flex Health a year later.

This is where I found my interest in neurological Physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Away from work I have a keen interest in taking part in and watching various sports (football and basketball mainly), as well as being able to get outside and go for walks with my dog Nellie.

To relax, I enjoy listening to hip-hop music and I’ve always been a fan of Marvel and superhero movies.

Beth Webster

I have been with the team for just over 2 years, during which I have worked with a diverse range of clientele in both MSK and neurological specialties. I recently returned from my maternity leave after having a baby boy and am enjoying being back in the clinic doing what I love.

My career within the health and fitness industry started after graduating from the University of Leeds in 2017 with a BSc Hons degree in Sport and Exercise Science. Around this time, I completed my Level 2 Strength and Conditioning and Level 3 Personal Training qualifications and went on to work in this area. My background in S&C and PT helped me to develop my skills when creating bespoke exercise programming and coaching a variety of individuals, from gym beginner to athlete.

In January 2022, I graduated from York St John University with a MSc degree in Physiotherapy. I went on to start my rotations within the NHS, covering both ICU and medical wards. Although working within the NHS provided me with some great experiences, I jumped at the opportunity to join the Flex Health team when a position became available and haven't looked back since!

I have two gorgeous children who take up the majority of my time outside of the clinic, we love going outdoors and exploring. I also have a passion for weight training at the gym, I'm currently enjoying doing some postnatal rehabilitation of my own to get back strong! Last but not least I love a coffee date and going out for yummy food with friends

I also have experience in male and female semi-professional football alongside experience working with amputees by volunteering at the Keep Moving Initiative whilst studying at University.

Kallum Eliis

I am a recent graduate from the Sport Rehabilitation degree at the University of Hull.

Throughout my third and final year, I was lucky enough to work at Flex on their internship programme which ran alongside studying until my graduation.

This opportunity helped me develop my skills in a professional environment and led to the job role I currently have. I have also had experience working in high level sport with massage support for both the France Women and Fiji Men’s rugby league World Cup sides.

My short time here has already been both exciting and rewarding and I am looking forward to what the future holds.

Katie Brentnall

With a background in both elite sports and healthcare, I am deeply committed to helping my clients live pain-free and reach their full potential. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sports Science and a Master's degree in Physiotherapy, which have equipped me with a profound understanding of human movement and rehabilitation.

At Flex I strive to bring my passion for helping clients achieve their goals to the forefront. I believe in a holistic approach to physiotherapy, one that not only addresses pain but also promotes overall well-being and functional improvement.

Outside of the clinic, I am an avid runner, hiker, and traveler. I love spending time with my family and participating in all sorts of sports. These activities fuel my passion for physiotherapy, as they constantly remind me of the joy and freedom that come with a healthy, active lifestyle. I strive to impart this enthusiasm to my clients, helping them to overcome their challenges and rediscover the activities they love.

Whether you're looking to recover from an injury, improve your athletic performance, or simply lead a healthier life, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I currently work as one of the clinicians at Flex Health, specialising in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. My experience spans across a wide range of settings, including professional rugby league, semi-professional football and ice hockey, as well as within clinical practice.

I have spent lots of time working with both the sporting and non-sporting populations, with lots of experience treating lower-limb conditions. I am now also expanding my clinical skills to treat clients with neurological disorders such as Stroke and MS. I have also really enjoyed and learnt lots from my clinical experience, working with a wide range of patients with many different conditions. I love working at Flex Health and seeing the progress people can make during their sessions with us.

In his spare time, Dan enjoys spending time in the great outdoors with his wife as well as going to the gym and playing multiple forms of racket sports.

Developing, implementing, and delivering occupational health services that are second to none. At our organisation, we practice what we preach, ensuring seamless and efficient services for our clients, Additionally, we ensure that our employees have the best possible working conditions.
Beyond work, I channel my passion into competing in triathlons worldwide. Historically representing Great Britain in World and European championships, now enjoying specialist offroad events. I strive to improve lives both within and outside the workplace. Let’s inspire well-being together!

Andy Vernon

Having fallen into Occupational Health four years ago having spent four years in respiratory protection, I have enjoyed helping workplaces stay safe by carrying out medicals on numerous sites which can include drug and alcohol testing. In doing so this has helped numerous individuals be diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and hearing problems which have been discovered during these appointments. This is very rewarding knowing that you are helping people and at the same time keeping the workplace safe for everyone.
Outside of work, you’ll find me in the gym (great for decluttering my mind) or on a rugby pitch still playing or coaching either my lads under 9’s team or open age at Hullensians which I have just started this season. It is great seeing the children develop both on the rugby pitch both as players and friends whilst passing my knowledge down to them.
