About Bradley Dunham

The person I needed
when I was in pain

Sports Therapist, founder of The Body Diagnostic, and someone who genuinely knows what it's like to feel let down by the system.

Bradley Dunham, Sports Therapist
The story

It started with my own back injury

My journey into sports therapy began long before I ever studied at university — it began with pain.

As a young adult I suffered a serious lower back injury, including two herniated discs. It left me in chronic discomfort and, like most people, I turned to the NHS for help.

The experience was frustrating. Waiting lists were long. Appointments were short. Nobody really got to the bottom of what was driving the problem — and despite doing all the right things, I never got the focused, hands-on support that actually addressed the root of the issue.

"What if I could be the person I needed back then?"

That question led me to train at ARU Cambridge, gain experience in injury rehabilitation, and eventually launch The Body Diagnostic — with a clear purpose: to give people faster, more effective access to high-quality, one-on-one care, without the wait and without the generic advice.

The Body Diagnostic has now been helping clients for over three years — from people as young as 10 to clients in their 80s, treating everything from sports injuries and persistent back pain to more complex conditions like diabetic neuropathy and symptoms linked to cancer treatment.


The difference

What you get here that you often don't get elsewhere

No waiting lists

You can usually be seen within days, not months. When you're in pain, waiting isn't an option.

No rushed appointments

Every session is one-to-one with Bradley. No being passed between practitioners, no 10-minute slots.

No one-size-fits-all plans

Your rehab programme is built around you — your pain, your history, your goals, your life.

Direct access throughout

You can contact Bradley between sessions. He'll adjust your plan, answer questions, and keep you on track.

Root cause focus

We don't just treat where it hurts. We find what's actually driving the problem — then fix that.

No dependency on treatment

The goal is always to get you to a point where you don't need to keep coming back. Independent and pain-free.


The clinic

Based at Studio 35, Fairview Park, Rayleigh

A modern, well-equipped clinic inside Studio 35 — a full-body circuit gym on Victoria Road. Easy to find, comfortable to be in, and a far cry from a sterile NHS waiting room.


Outside the clinic

Practising what he preaches

Outside of work Bradley keeps himself active — training in the gym, practising Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and out with his three dogs.

That commitment to staying fit and healthy feeds directly into his work. He understands how frustrating it is when pain or injury holds you back from the things you love — because he's been there himself.

It's also why he works the way he does. Not just treating the injury in front of him, but understanding the person behind it and what they're trying to get back to.
