About
I graduated from Brighton University in 1994 with a BSc Honours degree in physiotherapy, initially gaining experience in the NHS in musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, respiratory, neurological physiotherapy before specialising in musculoskeletal problems and sports injuries.
After working in the UK and New Zealand in both NHS and private practice, I completed my advanced practitioner MMACP qualification in 2003, a recognised standard of clinical excellence in musculoskeleletal physiotherapy.
This experience together with extensive postgraduate education including pilates training with the APPI, and use of acupuncture for pain relief and most recently pilates reformer training has provided me with clinical skills and expertise across a broad range of conditions including spinal, upper and lower limb pain, sports injuries & running injuries, and pelvic girdle problems enabling my patients from all walks of life to reach their individual goals whether returning to work, sport or general activity.
I am a recognised specialist kids back 2 sport clinician, working with sporty children and adolescents, acknowledging that children cannot be treated as mini adults. They have injuries that require a specialist approach and bespoke approach to treatment and rehabilitation.
I believe that education of both the parent and child is important in avoiding and preventing recurrent injuries and facilitating a return to sport when safe and ready, allowing them to come back stronger and to be the best they can.
I work closely with GPs and Consultants and other health care professionals and am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council in order to ensure the best care for my patients.
In my spare time, when not attending athletics events with my son, I enjoy yoga, mountain biking, functional strength training, watersports and generally keeping active.
