The Person:
"When I'm not being a physio, I love exercising and keeping fit.  I believe in the notion of 'practising what I preach', so I always keep active.  I think it's essential to be familiar with sport and rehabilitation in order to understand my clients' problems and to get them back to their best!  I have also just finished renovating my first flat!  It took a little longer than I had planned, but I now have DIY skills and tools that I didn't know previously existed!"
