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.

I am Head of Sports Medicine at the UK Sports Institute where I lead a team of Sports Physicians providing healthcare to Great Britains Olympic, Paralympic & Commonwealth athletes.

My previous positions include Team Physician to EF Education First-EasyPost professional cycling team from 2020-2024, Chief Medical Officer at England Netball from 2016-2022, also previously British Para-Swimming and England Squash. I have also worked as a team Dr in Premiership football, professional rugby league and rugby union.

I worked as a Consultant in an NHS Musculoskeletal clinic from 2017 - 2023.
