About Me:
An Advanced Senior Musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapist, my professional journey is underpinned by a robust educational foundation from King’s College London, enriched by diverse experiences within the NHS, Elite Sports Physiotherapy, and collaborative projects with renowned orthopedic consultants. My passion for advancing health and wellness through physiotherapy has driven my career, guiding me to work with high-caliber athletes from Team GB and Premier League footballers, as well as serving a broad patient demographic within the public health sector.
Specialisation:
My expertise extends beyond conventional physiotherapy; I am proficient in specialised techniques such as osteopathic manipulations, dry needling, and movement analysis, alongside advanced massage, cupping and stretchology. These skills are complemented by my deep understanding of injury rehabilitation processes and return-to-sport programs, ensuring a holistic approach to patient care that prioritises not only recovery but also performance enhancement and injury prevention.

I integrate evidence-based practices with a patient-centered approach, fostering open communication, trust, and collaboration throughout the treatment process.

By focusing on comprehensive strengthening, neuromuscular control, proprioceptive training, and functional movement patterns, this protocol aims to optimise outcomes and facilitate a safe and successful return to athletic activity.
