Dr Rogers recognises that nutrition and wellness go beyond the needs of sport and athletes as weight issues are often related to many musculoskeletal problems.

"I am also interested in the obesity epidemic, especially as it relates to young children. A lot of orthopaedic problems are related to weight and, if required, I can help my patients with weight management.

Asked about his approach to life Dr Rogers advised "I try to work out five days a week - cycling, running and swimming. I also do a few triathlons every year. Medicine and sport take up a lot of my time but during my free time I love to travel and enjoy my family."
