Jamie Stratton – Director and Clinical Myotherapist
From as early as 5 years old, Jamie Stratton has been involved in almost every sport you can think of. Having a background in elite sport (particularly athletics), Jamie has always had an interest in the capabilities of our bodies, sport psychology and how to get the most out of ourselves. After competing at the national level in Long Jump over 2 seasons, Jamie agonisingly fell 9cm short of the Commonwealth Games qualifying standard. What was lacking in his preparation? Recovery! Over this period of competing, Jamie received limited quality treatment which impacted his ability to perform at an elite level consistently. At the end of the 2015 domestic athletics season, Jamie decided to create what he lacked, a business that catered for athletes of any level and give them his time and experience to help them achieve their goals. Jamie’s vision is to give back to the athletes, like himself, who struggle to afford weekly/fortnightly treatments, who get frustrated receiving ineffective treatment or don’t understand the importance of recovery for performance.
Expertise & Education
Jamie has been in the health and fitness industry for 12 years, with over 4 years experience working in elite sporting clubs (Richmond Football Club plus Melbourne Storm Rugby Club) and 10 years of clinical experience. Jamie works closely with many elite athletes, including Olympians and Australian representatives. Jamie also has an extensive educational background- completing a Bachelor of Exercise Science and a Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Myotherapy) over a 6 year period. Through his experience treating athletes, Jamie likes to take a no BS approach to healthcare! His sporting background plays a huge part in the way he treats, as well as his past experiences.
Why Choose Jamie as Your Clinical Myotherapist?
Jamie’s immense passion stems from his frustration with poor healthcare, getting so close to the pinnacle of athletics and from having niggles stop him competing at his best. Jamie is dedicated to giving his time to those athletes and everyday people who are motivated to better their best and to strive to keep aiming high!
