I have worked as a Physiotherapist since 2001. I have a wide variety of clinical experience and I am a dedicated clinician specialising in musculoskeletal conditions, orthopaedics, sports injuries, and gait analysis.
After completion of my Bachelors in Physiotherapy and MSc in Sports Biomechanics, I have comprehensive experience working extensively in both the private and NHS sectors, bringing a wealth of experience to my current role as a First Contact Practitioner.
This role allows me to be the first contact point for patients with MSK issues in primary care, providing expert assessment, investigation, diagnosis, provide appropriate advice, and establish a management plan for patients.
Additionally, I am trained in joint & soft tissue injections allowing me to provide targeted pain relief when necessary. This combination of skills ensures patients receive a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to their MSK conditions.
I provide evidence-based healthcare in line with best-practice NHS guidance and can make referrals to other services as and when required.
