Who We Are
Helping people move better, perform stronger, & recover smarter
Based in Manchester city centre, Elite Performance Physio MCR was founded by Dan Turnell, whose career includes several years of clinical experience on London’s Harley Street. During this time, he worked with professional performers across the West End, classical ballet and orchestral music, as well as elite athletes in golf, football, and rugby union.
Supporting individuals at this level demands precision, consistency, and a deep understanding of human movement. These principles continue to shape how our physiotherapists approach assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation for every patient we support.
