Cricket Injury Rehabilitation & Recovery
Our Approach to Injury Recovery is Different
Many cricketers find themselves trapped in a cycle of recurring injuries because traditional recovery methods often fail to address the body as a whole.
At Cricket Matters, we take a comprehensive approach to injury recovery, understanding that every aspect of your body and lifestyle plays a role in your healing process.
Our individualised recovery programs go beyond treating the immediate injury. We identify and address underlying issues such as movement restrictions, muscle imbalances, and lack of strength that may have contributed to the injury in the first place.
We also consider lifestyle factors, including nutrition, sleep, and stress management, to create a total recovery plan.
This holistic approach ensures that you recover faster, come back stronger and more resilient, and are less likely to get injured again.
By treating the body as an interconnected system, we help you achieve a full and lasting recovery so you can confidently return to the field.

The Practitioner Behind the System
Built by Someone Accountable for the Decisions.
Cricket Matters isn’t a collection of services. It’s a performance system designed to guide better decisions — over seasons, not sessions.
I’m James Breese, founder of Cricket Matters and a sports therapist working at the intersection of coaching, training, and rehabilitation in cricket.
I’ve coached players.
I’ve prepared athletes.
I’ve treated injuries.
And I still play the game.
That matters — because the decisions inside this system aren’t theoretical. They’re based on what actually breaks players, what keeps them on the field, and what allows improvement to hold up in matches and across seasons.
Cricket Matters exists to remove guesswork. I’m accountable for the thinking behind it.
