About me

I specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of musculoskeletal and sports injury.

I regularly see patients and athletes with bone stress, ligament, meniscal injuries, tendon and joint pain in particular. Frequently I see patients suffering from medical problems related to exercise including sports related concussion, fatigue, underperformance and breathing issues including exercise induced asthma. I regularly perform diagnostic ultrasound in clinic to aid diagnosis and explanation of a condition, plus perform ultrasound guided injections to help aid rehabilitation.

In elite sport I work as the lead Sports Physician in the North West at the English Institute of Sport – where I have provided medical care and support to British athletes through multiple Olympic, Paralympic & Commonwealth Games – including working at the Rio Paralympics in 2016 and Commonwealth Games in 2014 and 2022. I am a Team Sports Physician for EF-EasyPost professional cycling team providing medical care overseas at UCI World tour races, including the Tour de France 2021 and Giro d’Italia in 2020, 2021 and 2022.

My previous positions include the Chief Medical Officer role at England Netball from 2016-2022, British Para-Swimming and England Squash. I have also worked as a team Dr in Premiership football and professional rugby league.

My NHS practice is the Joint Health Integrated Musculoskeletal service at Southport & Ormskirk NHS Trust.
