With a focus on sports therapy and injury rehabilitation, his professional journey has been marked by valuable experiences and skill development. His most recent role involves an Internship at Fulham Football Club Academy, where he has been actively engaged with various age groups, ranging from 9 to 21. This exposure has enabled him to work closely with players, administering deep tissue massages, conducting Musculoskeletal Assessments, devising and implementing rehabilitation plans, delivering soft tissue massages, and organising outdoor drills for return-to-play scenarios. Over the course of this internship, Mr. Housden's skills have grown, as he's ventured into diverse aspects of sports therapy within a professional football setting.

Working with semi-professional footballers, managing various aspects of therapy, and handling the demands of travelling to distant matches have enhanced his skill set and confidence. Mr. Housden also had the opportunity to showcase his skills on an international stage during the Gothia Cup 2022 in Sweden. Here, he provided pitch-side first aid for a team of under 12 players, contributing to their warm-ups, cool-downs, and overall player management. This experience not only developed his sports therapy abilities but also honed his proficiency in working with children and delivering first aid. Throughout his journey, Mr. Elliott Housden's commitment to sports therapy and injury rehabilitation has been unwavering, as demonstrated by his involvement in various football settings, educational pursuits, and international sports events.
