About Me

Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’m passionate about helping people rebuild strength, recover from setbacks, and achieve their goals.

Since graduating from Salford University in 2008 with a 2:1 BSc (Hons) in Sports Rehabilitation, I’ve continually expanded my expertise to provide the best care for my clients. I’m a registered member of BASRaT (the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers), and I hold a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) certification, which enables me to assess and enhance golfers’ physical capabilities to optimise performance and reduce the risk of injury.

I have also completed Dave O’Sullivan’s Go-To Mentorship, a transformative training that has reshaped how I work with clients. This mentorship has encouraged me to adopt a more comprehensive, client-centred approach—one that looks at the big picture. I now focus on truly understanding how past injuries, life events, and movement patterns may still influence how someone moves today. By connecting these dots, I aim to create personalised strategies that address not just symptoms but the root causes, empowering clients to move and feel better long-term.

For over 13 years, I worked with the Ministry of Defence as an Exercise Rehabilitation Instructor (ERI), helping injured service personnel regain their fitness and return to their demanding roles. From managing musculoskeletal injuries to addressing training-related issues, I collaborated with Sports Medicine Doctors, Physiotherapists, and fellow ERIs to deliver high-quality, targeted care. One of my proudest achievements was contributing to the development of service-wide Best Practice Guidelines for ACL rehabilitation—a condition I’m particularly passionate about, having gone through my own ACL repair journey.

In 2021, I launched Rachel Sharp Rehab to bring the same standard of care and expertise to clients outside the MoD. Over the past 3+ years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals rebuild their confidence and trust in their bodies through tailored recovery plans that focus on their unique needs and goals.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my partner and our “kids”—our beloved dogs. I’m also a keen cricketer, playing for our local village ladies’ team, and recently, my partner KC and I discovered pickleball, which has become one of our favourite ways to squeeze in some fun and fitness.

Golf is another passion of mine. I started playing while living in New Zealand back in 2002, and though life as a responsible doggy pawrent and business owner keeps me busy, I still love getting the clubs out for a session at the driving range every few months. With so many beautiful golf courses in the West Midlands, it is definitely something I plan to return to when time allows.

As a registered member of BASRaT (the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers), I adhere to the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and care. BASRaT’s accreditation by the Professional Standards Authority ensures you’re in safe, trusted hands. All practitioners on the BASRaT register—myself included—hold comprehensive insurance, up-to-date first aid qualifications, and follow strict standards for medical record management and appropriate referrals.

When you work with me, you can expect a professional, personalised, and high-quality service rooted in the same standards of excellence I delivered in the MoD. Together, we’ll create a plan that’s tailored to you, helping you move forward with strength, confidence, and a renewed sense of possibility.
