My career felt stuck due to a reoccurring issue that wouldn’t let me play. Professor Rowena Johnson was super prepared [and] what actually helped me the most was her kindness and her ability to understand the struggles of a professional athlete that couldn’t perform and express his potential. I feel a big piece of the Davis Cup trophy I have in my living room belongs to her.

I highly recommend The Combo Clinic led by Professor Schilders and Professor Johnson. They bring unparalleled expertise in treating groin, hip and hamstring injuries.

The care they have provided has genuinely been life changing. The way they work together is second to none, absolute true professionals, this is such a complicated area to understand and treat but there is no doubt they are two of the country's best if not the best in understanding and treating this area.

As the Lead Performance Doctor at UK Athletics, I have the privilege of collaborating with Ernest and Rowena on complex case management. Their combined expertise and deep understanding of anatomy are second to none.
