I graduated from London’s Brunel University in 2012 with an Honours degree in Physiotherapy before working in the NHS for around 6 years. During this time, I completed my core rotations before specialising in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. I was fortunate to work in some of London’s leading hospitals as well as in community-based settings where I was able to progress my career, before moving back to Bristol.

I have completed further training in areas such as acupuncture, and in 2021 I am undertaking MSc level training in corticosteroid injection delivery. Outside of my physiotherapy role with Nuffield Heath, I am also involved in sport with the Bristol Rovers FC youth academy, as well as with the armed forces, which brings added insight to my practice.

My areas of clinical interest include trauma rehabilitation, particularly involving the knee. As I work across all of Nuffield Health’s Bristol sites, I enjoy being able to use the gym and exercise facilities as a treatment option. I also have experience in the management of persistent pain from previous roles, which helps when managing more complex presentations.

I completed my Physiotherapy degree at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1988, followed by a two year post-graduate certificate in acute medicine.

During my physiotherapy career I have worked extensively within the South African national health system and the private sector. I have a wealth of experience in the treatment of postoperative conditions, including hip and knee replacements, as well as complex lower limb reconstruction surgery. Previous roles have included working at a large national health hospital in Johannesburg, with rotation and special interest in intensive care work.

I have also worked in several private hospitals, covering both musculoskeletal conditions, as well as inpatient work, and owned a private practice in South Africa for 4 years. I have also the managed the physiotherapy services in Bristol for the last 10 years, as well as health assessments at other sites.

My treatment approach is adapted to each individual’s requirements, and we work in close conjunction with the consultant, to ensure the best outcomes for the patient, with particular attention given to functional goals.

After graduating in 2006 from Oxford Brookes University I have worked for both the NHS and private sector in a variety of musculoskeletal settings. These ranged from GP clinics to a large London hospital. This role also gave me the opportunity to teach university students and newly qualified graduates.

During my physiotherapy career I have developed skills in the assessment and treatment of sporting and non-sporting injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, soft tissue injuries, low back and neck pain and antenatal/ postnatal patients. Whilst working in the NHS I developed a specialist interest in vestibular rehabilitation and treating individuals with dizziness disorders such as positional vertigo.

I use a range of treatment techniques including hands on manual therapy, exercise prescription and advice as part of an individualised treatment plan. Outside of work I am a keen swimmer and run regularly, most recently while pushing my double running pram!

Since graduating in 1991, I have worked extensively in the NHS gaining broad experience in orthopaedics, surgery, medical rehabilitation and respiratory care.

I started working in the independent sector in 1995 and since then I have specialised in orthopaedic rehabilitation and the treatment of joint replacements, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal injuries.

I work closely with our consultants and keep up to date with conferences and courses to ensure that we deliver a high standard of rehabilitation, to allow our patients to return to full function and achieve the best possible outcome.

I graduated from Brunel University in 2001 with a First Class Honours Degree in Physiotherapy. I have spent many years working in large NHS teaching hospitals in London and Bristol, in a variety of specialist musculoskeletal settings. I have also worked with sports teams, as well as working at rugby league player development camps at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre. 

Previous roles have included working in specialist spinal clinics within the NHS. I have a vast experience in assessing and treating spinal pain, my treatment approach is personalised to the individual using specific exercise rehabilitation, soft tissue release and spinal mobilisation techniques. I specialise in pelvic, obstetric and gynaecological physiotherapy. This includes pelvic floor rehabilitation for bladder and bowel dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, pregnancy related back and pelvic girdle pain, post-natal pelvic floor and abdominal rehab, and post-operative gynaecological rehabilitation.

I am also a certified Mummy MOT practitioner, a specialised post natal assessment recommended for all women following delivery - from 6 weeks to many years later. In the Mummy MOT, I assess the strength and function of the tummy and pelvic floor muscles to help prevent long term childbirth-related complaints such as incontinence, lower back pain and 'mummy tummy'.

Based at Nuffield Health Bristol Hospital, I work closely with the consultant gynaecologists and run clinics on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
