Hi, I'm Liam Dinnall-Bateman — the founder of Level Up Performance. A qualified Physiotherapist with a deep-rooted passion for football, injury recovery, and helping athletes perform at their best.
My professional journey blends years on the pitch as a former Aston Villa footballer with hands-on healthcare experience in the NHS, giving me a unique perspective on performance, rehab, and resilience.
Over the years, I've supported a wide range of athletes—from youth players to semi-professional footballers—through massage therapy, manual therapy techniques, injury management, and strength-based training. Level Up focuses on injury prevention, tailored recovery, and athletic development.
"Whether you're recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic pain, or simply looking to stay game-ready, I provide evidence-based, personalized physiotherapy grounded in real experience—on and off the field."
