Simon Shepard, Chartered Physiotherapist

Simon Shepard is a Chartered Physiotherapist who heads up the medical department at Lord’s Cricket Ground. He has been involved in the sport for over three decades and has additionally worked in basketball and badminton. He is interested in how technology can be integrated into clinical practice to facilitate better evaluation, informed decision-making, and, ultimately, better care.

The Challenges of Cricket

The days of cricket being a sedate game, played at a leisurely pace, are long gone. From the physical demands to the challenges of consistent travel, the development of fast and furious formats, and the emotional demands of success and failure, cricket is no longer a stroll in the park. This session will explore the role of medical support staff, the injuries they must address (and ideally prevent), and the nuances of the sport.
