SENIOR SPORTS THERAPIST

I have been active from a young age, participating in many sports and activities including running boxing, weight training and football. I suffered from lower back pain for many years which was caused by a disc herniation. This caused me great pain and prevented me from exercising and being active, which further lead to stress. I decided to learn about the body enabling me to help other people overcome these barriers to living a healthier life.

I studied sports therapy at university in 2011 where I developed a passion for diagnosing sports injuries, massage, posture assessments and human anatomy. These core subjects allowed me to understand how the body moves and how to help patients overcome injuries and pain. After graduating and working with private clients, I went on to complete my PGCE at university and for the next 4 years I lectured in these subjects.

After lecturing I went back to private clients and became a qualified reformer and mat Pilates instructor, working with athletes to beginners. I taught reformer pilates exercises to all abilities and taught specialised rehab classes for patients recovering from a variety of injuries including shoulder, knee and lower back pathologies.

Most recently in 2021 I completed my master’s degree in Sports medicine, exercise and health from University College London (UCL). This amazing opportunity allowed me to gain priceless experience from incredible surgeons, physiotherapists and consultants who are active in research at London’s institute of Sport, Exercise and Health (ISEH).
