About me
I accept new patients for consultations regarding all types of musculoskeletal pain and injury. Consultations can be face-to-face, phone or video - please state your preference.
I have expertise in all types of musculoskeletal injuries, including sports, dance and occupational trauma. I became intrigued by movement and its association with pain whilst undertaking a Masters in Classical Acting at the Central School of Speech and Drama (London) in 2005. I then completed specialist training in Sport and Exercise Medicine in 2012, by which time my interest was strongly focussed on joint and musculoskeletal preservation. Career highlights include consulting at both London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics.
I currently work with professional dancers at the Royal Ballet Company and the Royal Ballet School in Covent Garden, London, to optimise their ability to perform, despite stress and strain injuries and illness. My current and previous body of work has guided me towards a subspecialty interest in pelvic pain and dysfunction, which I see with increasing frequency.
Prior to my current roles in the dance world, I worked in elite track and field within British Athletics, and was Chief Medical Officer for ParaShooting amongst other roles within the English Institute of Sport (EIS).
Before joining the EIS, I worked with the FA in their para football squads for over 2 years. Working with athletes who were visually impaired, hearing impaired, or had cerebral palsy was both an immensely humbling and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
I have published work within the field of SEM and have worked as an examiner for the membership exam for the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (FSEM UK).
I enjoy maintaining my own fitness, focussing on strength and conditioning and incorporating techniques from yoga, in which I am also a teacher. I love the outdoors in winter (snowboarding) and enjoy competing in triathlon, strictly for fun.
