My love for physiotherapy started when I sustained my own injury playing competitive tennis. I found the influence of the physiotherapist at that time was huge in my psychological and physical ability to recover and return to high level sport, and that’s when I decided I would like to have that impact on other people!


I studied physiotherapy at the University of Birmingham where I also gained experience on the pitch-side first aid team for the universities American Football team. Here I was able to put what I was learning into practice in a fast-paced environment, and was able to enhance my skills in taping, massage and quick clinical reasoning skills.

I currently work within the NHS as a senior MSK physiotherapist. Within this role I get to see a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions and post-operative cases. I really enjoy building rapport with my patients and guiding them from an acute injury to their previous level of activity or sporting level.

In my spare time I enjoy running and going to the gym, so I really enjoy being able to advise around return to gym-based exercise or running distances and incorporating this into my patient’s rehabilitation.
