Amy Waghorn
Owner & Lead Sports Therapist
I founded AJW Sports Therapy in 2020 to deliver expert, evidence-based care with a personal touch, ensuring every client receives tailored treatment that fits their goals, lifestyle, and performance needs.
Originally based in Nottingham and now living in Durham, I’m passionate about helping clients bridge the gap between injury, rehab, and performance — with a growing focus on women’s health and encouraging more women to be active, strong, and confident in their bodies.
After graduating from the University of Derby with First Class Honours in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation, I gained experience with The Nottingham Panthers IHC and several local clinics before founding AJW Sports Therapy.
I’ve since completed a Master’s in Sports Medicine at the University of Nottingham, expanding my knowledge of human movement, injury prevention, and performance optimisation to deliver truly holistic care.
Currently working with NLD RFU Women’s and Girls Program, Newcastle University's Women’s Rugby Team & FA Women's England Talent Pathway.
Zoe Thompson
Sports Therapist
Zoe brings a calm, professional, and structured approach to injury management, helping clients rebuild strength and confidence through clear, achievable rehab strategies.
This all stems from her love and passion for football. My drive to help footballers, and all manner of other sporting individuals, has carried me this far and onto my next steps with AJW Sports Therapy.
Her love for sport started as a supporter, then a player and now as a Sports Therapist. So she understands firsthand how vital it is to get back to the sport you love as quickly as possible! (safely, of course).
She also dedicates her time working as Head Sports Therapist at Long Eaton United, Mansfield Town. As well as Lincoln City and Burton Albion Academies since graduating.
