I'm a Chartered Physiotherapist along with a degree in Sport Rehabilitation. I have experience in both sporting and NHS backgrounds specialising in musculoskeletal conditions. I have worked previously at Bolton Wanderers football club and enjoy treating and managing sports injuries. I currently work within the NHS and private sector. I have worked in different MSK areas treating a range of conditions, including upper limb, lower limb and spinal injuries along with post-surgical trauma patients. I enjoy treating patients looking at the whole picture and using a holistic approach, ensuring that the patient gets the best outcome possible by using different treatment modalities, including both manual and exercise therapy tailored to the person.
