Daniel helped me with a very stubborn hamstring injury that had refused to heal for over three months, and within a few sessions he’d got me fixed. His strength training advice was spot on.

Andy listened to the problem and got to work quickly diagnosing and fixing it. After my first session, the Achilles injury I’d been struggling with for over nine months was much better, and three sessions later I was back running pain-free.

Jack Gilmartin

Jack Gilmartin

Physiotherapist

BSc (Hons), MCSP

Alwoodley, York

My name is Jack Gilmartin, and I’m an MSK physiotherapist at Regen Physio. I work with a broad mix of clients, from competitive athletes and regular gym-goers, to people who simply want to move more comfortably and enjoy an active lifestyle.

Coming from a background in semi-professional rugby and strength & conditioning, I know first-hand the challenges of training, performing, and managing setbacks. That experience shapes the way I work: combining hands-on treatment with practical, tailored rehab plans that are easy to follow and designed to deliver real progress.

I place a big emphasis on education and clarity, making sure clients understand their condition and feel confident in how to manage it. Rehab should feel purposeful and motivating, not a boring checklist – and I always aim to keep it engaging while focused on each person’s goals.

Outside of the clinic, I spend most of my time on the rugby pitch or in the gym, and I enjoy testing myself both physically and mentally. The same drive that fuels my sport carries into my work, where my priority is helping people return to the activities that matter most to them.


What clients say

  • Fantastic sports massage and soft-tissue work
  • Very knowledgeable and professional
  • Removes pain and stiffness quickly
  • Friendly and confidence-boosting

Reputation: superb manual therapist with excellent communication skills.


"Jack was fantastic, found straight away where I needed fixing, and also gave good advice."
