Jamie Hinton
Sports Massage Therapist
(Physio in training)
Jamie is the latest triathlete to join the Kinetic Sports family! Having swum competitively as a kid, Jamie went on to compete at national level in Modern Pentathlon and Tetrathlon before finding Triathlon at Loughborough Uni. He frequented the British elite series through his twenties and took bronze at the 2013 age-group worlds. A puncture at the Ironman 70.3 worlds in Canada lost him the lead 30k into the bike. As a 6 ft 3, 2:39 marathoner and sub-16 5k runner, Jamie has overcome countless injuries and vouches very personally for the importance of coaching, physio, sports massage and s&c as part of every athlete’s regular training cycle. There are no shortcuts…
In 2023, Jamie left his corporate career to retrain as a Physio. He’s due to graduate from UWE in 2026 and is passionate about enabling endurance athletes of all disciplines and abilities to do the things they love. He qualified as a sports massage therapist in 2022, achieving his L4 advanced techniques in 2025. He’s also a BTF L3 triathlon coach and occasional BAD Tri swim coach.
