About me

I am an experienced Physiotherapist having worked with all musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries for over 30 years! . I consider myself a very "hands on" physiotherapist and use a wide variety of techniques to decrease the pain and increase the mobility of the area that I am treating. I like to advise people on what they can also do to help themselves prevent this problem from reoccurring. I aim to provide patients with information about their problems and be able to give a treatment package plus ongoing support when someone is in the rehabilitation phase.
I am a visiting fellow at the University of Bournemouth and I also teach at the Health Sciences University Bournemouth where I teach on the MSc for First contact practitioners, Advanced Physiotherapy Practice and on the MSc in preregistration physiotherapy.
