Tom Catterick

The ex-England 7s and England Under-16s, 18s, 19s and 20s player is a regular feature for the Newcastle Falcons 1st XV. Catterick, 24, made his Falcons senior bow in Europe against Albi in the 2009-10 season, and featured prominently towards the end of the 2011-12 campaign, before getting his chance to shine in the RFU Championship the following year. A stalwart of the Falcons Premiership Rugby 7s squad, Catterick captained the club’s team during the 2014 competition, picking up a Man of the Round award in front of his home crowd at the Darlington Northern Echo Arena during the Falcons’ unbeaten first round outing, a performance which led to him being called up to the England Sevens side later that year. After years of playing across the back line, the 2014/15 season saw Catterick step Into the Fly Half position, becoming the latest in a long line of homegrown Falcons number 10s thanks to a string of increasingly assured performances across the league and European Challenge Cup.

Client Testimonials

SJ's wealth of experience and genuine passion for his job is his biggest asset, coupled with his ability to forge a relationship with a client on a professional and a personal level. He found a solution to my long-term lower back problems, not only by treating the symptoms but finding the root cause of the issue. It allowed me to continue my career as a professional rugby player with the Newcastle Falcons and I will always be grateful that our paths crossed.

After becoming injured earlier in the year I came to Activate Physio for help. SJ quickly isolated the issues and provided a programme of exercises to correct imbalances that had caused the problems. This enabled me to resume training quicker than expected with stronger and more efficient form. I would highly recommend Activate Physiotherapy to anyone in need of professional sports treatment.
