About

Yves, Managing Director and Clinical Lead, deals with all aspects of business development and educates/leads a team of clinicians to excel in their capabilities.

Yves has been part of the company since 1999, initially as a self employed contractor and in 2008 took over ownership together with his wife, Ruth. Prior to working for the company he worked in the NHS and other smaller private clinics in the Portsmouth area for 5 years.

He founded Solent Shockwave Therapy Ltd in 2018, a company dedicated to the delivery of shockwave therapy treatment.  He has founded together with 5 other experts, in 2020, ‘edclinics’, a specialist company who specialises in Men’s Health.

Yves completed his Physiotherapy qualifications in Belgium in 1994. He also acquired a Diploma in Cardiac Rehabilitation at the same time. He was one of the first clinicians in the Portsmouth area to use acupuncture, completed a Diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine (SOMM) and a Diploma in Manipulative Physiotherapy to gain full membership to the MUSCULOSKELETAL ASSOCIATION OF CHARTERED PHYSIOTHERAPISTS (MACP), an organisation of 1200 physiotherapists who have reached a recognised standard of excellence in musculoskeletal physiotherapy.

He has in recent years joined a team, following training in Switzerland, of UK Educators who teach professionals the science and application of shockwave therapy through live events, webinars and on-line courses.

He became an Amazon #1 Best Selling Author in November 2020.

He is registered with the HEALTH AND CARE PROFESSIONS COUNCIL (PH48182) and CHARTERED SOCIETY OF PHYSIOTHERAPY.

Yves specialises in complex long term pain of the lower back, pelvis and hips in women
between 40 and 60 years old. He has also a special interest in Men’s Health.

Yves’s passion is skiing. He also enjoys cycling, walking his dog and spending time with his wife and 3 children.

Yves’ s inspiration and motivation comes from the admiration of human capability. Helping people to overcome challenges in their life both physically and mentally to create a more fulfilled life is one of the biggest rewards for him.

He therefore strives to maximise the client’s experience and works relentlessly to improve
the service he provides through innovation, investment and education.

Yves’ favourite quote is by an unknown author “The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you are not going to stay where you are.” When people present with chronic pain they have often been told nothing can be done about it or they have to learn to live with it.

Yves has seen thousands of clients over his 26 years career who decided they were not
going to accept this and with Yves’ guidance and treatment successfully achieved the result they were after.
