RHYS IFANS


During the summer I was approached by Consultant Ankle Specialist James Calder and asked to see Actor Rhys Ifans.


Rhys had suffered a fractured ankle whilst playing football, this caused him a problem as he was filming the new 'Nanny McPhee' Film (Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang)


Following a frustrating period in an 'Aircast Boot' Rhys sought treatment in Cardiff. However, he soon returned to filming and his home in London.


Rhys and I first met at the 'Virgin Active' Health Club in South Kensington. We continued treatment on the film set in Buckinghamshire. It was essential for me to mobilise and strap up Rhys's ankle prior to filming.


Fortunately, Rhys plays a character who is not required to be too active, and the slight limp added believable character to his role of 'Phill'


At the time of our treatment sessions Rhys was also involved in the filming of the next 'Harry Potter' film.
