Since graduating, I have worked in a variety of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal settings in initially NHS and then private sectors.

I developed a keen interest in foot and ankle problems since working with elite dance students at Elmhurst Ballet School where these injuries were common.

Since being at the Nuffield, I have therefore fostered a strong link with our foot and ankle consultants to facilitate the best possible care for our patients and enjoy developing the foot service with them further. I have post graduate training in lower limb biomechanics and orthotic provision to aid recovery if required.

I also have training in vestibular rehabilitation from completing "The Balance Course" at Southampton University. This is a specialist treatment for people suffering with vertigo and dizziness that is not offered by all physiotherapists.

Both Kate and I offer this treatment in our department and have a close relationship with our ENT consultants to provide the best treatment for you.

To date, I have extensive experience working as a Physiotherapist within both the NHS and private sector.

I am currently working with a semi-professional Women’s rugby team and have previously worked in other areas of sport including leading a team of therapists for Aston Villa's development squad.

I also work as a hand specialist and can treat a range of hand conditions using a variety of treatment techniques including exercise therapy, manual therapy and thermoplastic splinting.

Following graduation in 2008 with a 1^st Class Honors degree, I chose to focus my career in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, as I enjoyed the challenge and variety it provided. I have been fortunate enough to work in a variety of settings including both NHS and private, and with various elite athletes including being part of the medical team at the London 2012 Olympic Beach Volleyball Tournament.

In addition to treating MSK patients , following return from having my son Wilfred I have also started to specialise in pelvic health Physiotherapy and work closely alongside Senior Women’s Health Physiotherapist Kate Mitchell, treating Women’s Health incontinence issues, pre and post pregnancy related pain and pelvic floor muscle retraining. 

I enjoy the rewards of seeing my patients achieve their goals through tailored and functional treatment approaches, and enjoy working as a member of our experienced team.

Since graduating I have worked in a variety of musculoskeletal out-patient & orthopaedic departments. Both in the NHS and private sector. I enjoy treating the acute sports injury and post operative conditions, right through to a functional return to everyday activity and competitive sport.

I have worked overseas in New Zealand in a ski resort treating both professional skiers, snowboarders as well as those who prefer a gentle cruise, often managing injuries straight from the ‘ski fields’.

One of my main passions outside of spending time with my new young family is sport. When I get the time I enjoy running, cycling, football and snowboarding. For my sins I am an avid follower of Brighton & Hove Albion FC.

I have completed post graduate training in spinal manipulation, acupuncture and workstation ergonomics which is particularly useful for treating general back pain and injury. I am a keen cyclist and have undertaken a course in bike fitting & assessment.

I have a good working relationship with local orthopaedic surgeons and sports physicians if you happen to need the expertise of these professionals.

I have worked in both NHS and private settings since qualifying. Initially my interest was in trauma and orthopaedics working over the years to advanced level practitioner in orthopaedics within the NHS.

I graduated from the University of West of England BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy in 2008 and started my professional career in the NHS, completing rotations in all areas of physiotherapy. I then went onto specialise in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and hand therapy before I joined the Nuffield Health team full time.

I have undertaken postgraduate training in Acupuncture, Kinesiology taping, BAHT level 1, McKenzie A and B to name a few.

I have a very patient-orientated approach to treatment and utilise a variety of techniques in my practice including manual mobilisation, manipulation, soft tissue mobilisation, acupuncture and myofascial release and taping all to supplement exercise prescription/rehab.

I have a special interest in knees and I run all of our ACL rehab classes and work closely with our knee consultants here at the Nuffield.

I have a great sporting passion, especially rugby, and have worked for both amateur and semi-professional teams over the years, as well as playing rugby for 22 years myself!

Since graduating in 2006 I have worked across both NHS and Private sectors, specialising in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. I have developed an interest in lower limb rehabilitation and spinal conditions.

I moved to Cheltenham Nuffield Health Hospital in December 2016, following physiotherapy management roles within Nuffield Health as part of the remote services team, Swindon Fitness and Wellbeing and Woking Hospital. I am dedicated to running a department that prides itself on clinical excellence and best practise. We pride ourselves on providing first class treatment and outcomes, enabling our clients to return to normal function quickly.

Alongside my managerial role, I maintain a high clinical case load of patients within our outpatients department.  I am also completing a Masters in Advanced Manipulative Physiotherapy at the University of Birmingham. This is challenging me to develop as a clinician, developing my knowledge, clinical skills and critical thinking. This is fulfilling my drive to both improve as manager and clinician to provide the best possible results for our clients.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and balance this with my passion for cycling and running.

Since graduating from Southampton University in 2005, I have worked extensively in both the NHS and the private sector, including a large teaching trust in Gloucestershire. I have since developed my interest in shoulder conditions and now work closely with our two shoulder consultants Mr Bigsby and Mr Peter.

I also work closely with the spinal consultants to assist clients recover from back surgery or injury. I completed my Pilates Instructor training with the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute (APPI) in 2009, which can help develop greater body awareness and prevent re-injury.  I have run various Pilates classes for 11 years and it has good evidence to support improvement of lower back pain, among other conditions.

I regularly use acupuncture and myofascial release techniques (releasing deep tissue tension) which therapies complement each other well. I also specialise in vestibular rehabilitation, which is the treatment of individuals who suffer from dizziness such as vertigo.

My treatment approach is very hands on and patient specific. I fully believe that in order to achieve your goals, understanding the condition and finding the right exercise programme for you is paramount.  I am keen to get to the root cause of the problem, not just treat symptoms alone.

Being a keen mountain biker and skier, I understand the importance enhancing performance and recovering from injury successfully.

Alongside the Integrated clinical services manager, I run the outpatient clinic, ensuring the physiotherapy team has up to date training and research to underpin our service.

I gained a wealth of experience after graduating from the University of the West of England through working for the local NHS hospital trust where I completed my core rotations in a range of clinical specialities. These included orthopaedics, stroke rehabilitation and respiratory before settling into my preferred specialist area of musculoskeletal outpatients. During this time I also developed an interest in sports injuries through working privately with various rugby teams both locally and abroad.

More recently I prefer lower limb rehabilitation and I have particular interest in helping patients with knee problems. I like to use a variety of treatment techniques and believe that the key to ensuring patients achieve their goals is by using a combination of hands on methods alongside a specifically tailored exercise programme. As well as musculoskeletal physiotherapy I am also trained in vestibular rehabilitation.

I have recently become a 'Long COVID Champion', mentoring staff to help patients suffering with long COVID symptoms.  This is a free Nuffield Health charitable service, set up over the course of the pandemic.
