Reuben Elcock
Physiotherapist
After a First Class Honours degree in Sport Conditioning, Rehabilitation & Massage, I completed my MSc in Physiotherapy at the University of Southampton.
My route in has been a varied one — working with professional sports teams and local football clubs alongside NHS experience. It’s given me a strong grounding in anatomy, biomechanics, and injury rehabilitation, which I combine with hands-on treatment, individualised rehab programming, and patient education to support genuine, long-term recovery.
Whether you’re in pain, working back from injury, or looking to fine-tune your performance, I take a holistic, evidence-based approach — assessing how you move, identifying what’s really holding you back, and building a plan around your goals and lifestyle. My aim isn’t just to get you pain-free, but to help you move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing what you love.
Outside the clinic I’m usually training for something — ultra-endurance events, Ironman 70.3s, Hyrox, and running races of all distances. Having pushed my own body to its limits, I’ve got a first-hand understanding of what training and competing really demand. And when I’m not training, you’ll find me down at the beach.

Posted on Google Andrew CorkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard has been treating me since 2001 (believe it or not) and he's brilliant. Basically you go along to see him with a problem, and he makes it better. Maybe it takes a few visits and it certainly takes some work on my part. But there hasn't been a physio need that I've had that he hasn't solved. He's particularly good at sorting me out when I end up doing stupid things to myself skiing. I've lost count of the no of times he has fixed me up! Thanks so much Richard!Posted on Google Rosa BaroneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

After trying to get a physio appt in Blandford, and getting no responses at all from emails or voice messages sent to local businesses, Richard Goddard at the The Wimborne Clinic was recommended to me by a friend. I contacted the clinic and their response was immediate. An appointment was made and Richard immediately identified the problem, started treatment and gave me exercises to do between appointments. Very impressed overall, and I can definitely recommend Richard, and the Wimborne Clinic, to anyone in the Blandford or Wimborne area.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
