CPPT

I am an experienced Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Personal Trainer. I help people overcome aches, pains and injuries to optimise health, wellbeing and sports performance.

Personal Training Qualifications and Sporting Experience:

I have sixteen years’ experience in exercise-based rehabilitation as a Chartered Physiotherapist and three years’ experience working in the fitness industry. I am a qualified Personal Trainer and Olympic Weightlifting Coach with additional training in training pregnant and postnatal women, older adults and amputees.

I have been passionate about exercise since taking up tennis at junior school. I have dabbled in many sports over the years including badminton and netball at college, Gaelic football and military training at university and then marathon running in my twenties. For the past ten years, I have focussed on strength training and Olympic weightlifting, while continuing cardiovascular and endurance training through running and long-distance hikes.

Physiotherapy Experience:

I have 16 years’ experience as an HCPC-registered, Chartered Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist. For the past 10 years I have worked as an Accredited Advanced Practitioner Physiotherapist and Visiting Specialist Lecturer at Universities in the South West.

Academic Work:

I hold a first-class Master’s degree from the University of Brighton and a Batchelor’s degree from the University of Liverpool. I have four publications, twenty seven citations and three international conference presentations to date.

I work with people from their teens through to older age, supporting them to work towards their goals. From improving muscle, bone and joint health to preventing injuries and optimising performance in sport.

My physiotherapy background enables me to support people to build confidence in the gym, working round aches, pains and injuries to improve health, fitness and performance.
