Profile
Since qualifying, I have specialised in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and injury rehabilitation. My background is in professional sports, with over four years' working experience across various elite football academies (e.g. West Bromwich Albion FC, Cheltenham Town FC, Coventry City FC). Alongside lecturing, I remain working in football providing pitch-side trauma cover and rehabilitation services to academy players.
Since taking up my lecturing role, I have also started to work with international squads and have a close link with Scottish Hockey. As a physiotherapist, I aim to provide the highest quality and evidence-based injury prevention and rehabilitation care to the young athlete population.
