I qualified as a physiotherapist in 1997 after completing a Physiotherapy BSc (Hons) at University of Birmingham, and also have a Sports Science and Physical Education BSc (Hons) from Loughborough University. I am a Chartered Physiotherapist, a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. I have more than 25 years’ experience across the NHS, private practice and elite sport, including work with GB Olympic teams in rowing, diving, synchronised swimming and sailing, GB gymnastics teams, and Hampshire County Cricket.
At goPhysio, I help active people of all ages recover from back pain, sciatica, hip pain, sports injuries and post-surgery rehabilitation, including spinal surgery, hip and knee replacements and hip labral repairs.
My approach is detailed, honest and practical. I look at how your whole body moves, not just the painful area, so we can understand why the problem started and reduce the risk of it coming back. Treatment may include hands-on physiotherapy, acupuncture, Pilates-based rehabilitation, Mat & Reformer Pilates and progressive exercise rehabilitation. My aim is to help you feel stronger, more robust and confident than before your injury.
Having spent my childhood training as a gymnast from the age of four, it felt natural to build a career around movement, rehabilitation and performance. I’m fascinated by biomechanics — how the body moves as a whole — and how improving strength, stability, control and confidence can help people recover from injury, prevent recurrence and perform better.
I have a particular interest in low back pain, sciatica, lumbar-pelvic instability, hip impingement, stress fractures, post-operative rehabilitation and sporting injuries. I also enjoy helping antenatal and postnatal women with back or pelvic pain, and supporting active people from casual exercisers through to elite athletes.
Alongside physiotherapy, I am a member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists and can use acupuncture where appropriate as part of a wider treatment plan. I am also trained as an APPI Matwork Pilates instructor and APPI Reformer Pilates instructor, and have completed additional training in IASTM, K-taping, McKenzie Method and Maitland Concept approaches.
At goPhysio, this means I can combine hands-on treatment, clear advice, Clinical Pilates, Reformer Pilates and exercise rehabilitation to create a plan that fits your life. I’ll listen carefully, understand your goals and be realistic about what recovery looks like alongside your work, family, sport and day-to-day demands.
Patients often come to me worried that they may not get back to full function, sport, work or the hobbies they enjoy. My aim is to help you feel reassured, stronger, fitter and more confident, with a clear pathway forwards.
Outside of work, life is mainly taken up running around after my son and running with my working cocker spaniel. I also enjoy running, sailing, paddle boarding and getting outside whenever I can.
