About

Dr Steph Lazarczuk is a Sport Rehabilitator with clinical experience across sport, military rehabilitation, and private practice. In addition, she’s an experienced academic, teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate degrees while also producing injury-focused research.

Since completing her own undergraduate in Sport Rehabilitation, she further studied for a MSc in Strength and Conditioning and a Masters by Research alongside clinical work. Steph’s early research investigated the epidemiology of kicking-related injuries in Rugby Union, and the mechanics of different kick types. 

Steph has always had keen interest in muscle and tendon injury and adaptation. Having worked in football, rugby, ice hockey, cricket, and tennis, she has certainly seen a few! Steph has dealt with injuries from occurrence through to return to performance (whatever that looks like for the patient). With a desire to further her knowledge, Steph subsequently completed her PhD with a focus on hamstring muscle-tendon geometry, injury and training strategies.

Steph’s combined experience means she is well placed to work with healthy and injured individuals, their support teams, and governing bodies. As part of her current role, Steph is the Lead for Sport Therapy and Rehabilitation provision on the Sport Excellence Programme at Solent University, supporting dual career athletes with their preparation for competition. She also has current ITMMiF certification and is an FA affiliate tutor (having previously taught on the RFU PHICIS course). 

 
Steph also engages in speaking opportunities, presenting at conferences, workshops, and on podcasts to share her knowledge. She has experience of delivering to people of all backgrounds and roles, tailoring content to meet the needs of the audience.
