I have 30 years of experience in treating a wide variety of sports injuries. Clients include England Cricket, Birmingham Phoenix, Northamptonshire & Gloucestershire County Cricket, Northampton Saints Rugby, Tottenham Hotspur F.C and the London Olympics. I have helped many athletes rebuild fitness quickly and effectively after injury, with a focus on long-term re-education and specific ongoing rehab. I have worked with a range of local private schools, and my clinic is currently based at Monkton Combe Prep School in Bath. I work with many local surgeons, and have helped a wide range of patients recover from surgery – something I also have personal experience of after having a total hip replacement 4 years ago!
My experience in professional sport has shaped my approach to physio. I’ve learnt from experience that small changes to posture and movement can be transformative. My focus is always on the long-term, so rather than treating a symptom in isolation, I look holistically at each patient. My treatment plans are devised with biomechanics and musculoskeletal presentation in mind alongside lifestyle and ergonomic factors. I’m hands-on and practical, and use a range of tools and treatments to suit the individual.
I’m a chartered physiotherapist working in the NHS with a wide range of patients with a variety of conditions. My experience includes post-op recovery, sporting injury rehab, tendon problems and complex pain. I have experience working with children, adults and the elderly and my NHS role requires me to work within multidisciplinary teams, liaising with local GPs and orthopaedic services.
I have a special interest in sporting rehab, working part time for Southampton Football club academy at Bath University, having previously worked at Odd Down FC and Bristol City FC. My approach combines strengthening rehab with manual therapy to restore function, reduce pain and limit the risk of future injury.
I qualified as a chartered physiotherapist in 2016 after completing my training at UWE.
After completing my BSc Physiotherapy in 2020, I have worked alongside hockey teams and basketball teams in the Netherlands, before beginning my career in the NHS.
During my NHS experience, I have grown a keen interest in back pain and sports injuries.
With a deep understanding of the physical and emotional challenges that come with recovery, I pride myself in helping patients regain confidence after episodes of back pain with individualized treatment, combining manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and patient education.
Whether supporting recovery from injury, surgery or managing long-term back pain, I’m committed to delivering the highest standard of care, guiding patients every step of the way towards lasting recovery
An empathic and knowledgeable physiotherapist currently working in the NHS with clients requiring recovery post operatively whilst also working with high level athletes looking to return to competitive match play.
Alongside my work with musculoskeletal conditions I have also gained experience working with clients suffering from respiratory complications as well as those with learning disabilities. This has allowed me to view clients more holistically and identify the impact specific injuries can have on a person’s overall functioning.
For those clients looking to better their playing careers in a sporting sense I can offer a variety of manual techniques and a deep understanding of body biomechanics which I have gained through my years of working with Avonvale RFC and Frome RFC. I have a special interest In rugby and golf however take pride in rehabbing clients to a level allowing them to return and compete in their chosen sport.
I myself have experienced what its like to receive treatment from Physiotherapists and continue to play competitive sport but am also appreciative of the positive impact it can have on those suffering with multiple comorbidities and their journey to return to daily activities.
