What are your clinical qualifications?

I studied BSc Sports Therapy at the University of Worcester and graduated in 2013. 

What areas have you previously worked in?

Since graduating I was given the opportunity to work with the GB Bobsleigh team in a voluntary Soft Tissue Therapist position . I have then worked in private injury clinics. 

I have also done lots of voluntary sports massage and first aid at different sporting events, which I always enjoy seeing people achieve their goals. 

Do you have any special areas of interest in injury management?

My biggest interest is with sports injuries and returning people to their sport or activity through hands on work alongside exercise rehab. 

Over the last couple of years, I have attended several different course based on strength and conditioning / exercise rehab, including Tom Goom’s Running Repairs and Nick Grantham’s S&C workshop. I love incorporating new knowledge into helping my patients!

I enjoy teaching classes and seeing people improve and increase their body awareness and confidence in what they can do.  I have done my APPI Pilates qualifications up to Matwork Level 3 and Reformer Pilates Level 3. 

What you’re most proud of?

Graduating and buying my first home.

What’s the best thing about being part of the goPhysio team? 

To have such a varied role, and the supportive environment to help me grow and learn as a person and as a Sports Therapist.

We asked………

If you could invite any 3 people in the world round for dinner, who would they be?

  • David Attenborough
  • Barack Obama
  • Jessica Ennis-Hill

Where in the world is top of your list to visit?

Bali

If you were going to space and could only take 1 thing, what would it be?

A Kindle, so I could read.

What’s the 1 thing that may surprise people about you? 

I am a keen baker and love baking cakes and would love to be able to make wedding/special occasion cakes.

I had a really good visit to GoPhysio. I have had sciatica for two months and it wasn't showing any signs of improvement. Sophie gave me a thorough assessment and then provided acupuncture and ultra sound. After one visit my sciatica has almost gone. I am really pleased.

I have been attending goPhysio for about two years. As a company they are very professional and provide a very good level of service to include efficiency and courtesy and are always consistent in their approach. This very much includes the admin /reception team whom are the first people you make contact with. My Physio has excellent knowledge and has assisted me with sound advice and ongoing exercise regimes which are achievable and realistic. This has supported me well in between appointments. Although always busy I am normally able to see Roz at a mutually convenient time. Thank you to all the team
