SPORTS THERAPIST

Throughout my degree, I gained valuable insights into a wide variety of injuries in both clinical and sporting environments. During my time at St Helens Rugby Club, I delivered tailored massage therapy and evaluated their improvement moving forward. With increasing autonomy, I was able to enhance my pre-existing skills, with a specific focus on legs, back and rib injuries.

Whilst working at Blackpool Football Club Academy, I was responsible in treating a wide range of player injuries sustained during the season. This involved the use of assessments, indoor and gym exercises and outdoor programmes and data recording. I also had the opportunity as part of my degree to travel to Gibraltar for the NatWest Island games in order to provide first aid cover at the events, in addition to massage therapy for the athletes during their competitions.

In my postgraduate role as a Sports Therapist at a Chiropractic clinic, I have seen a wide variety of presenting issues and injuries, both from the sporting and general population. I work independently providing assessments, diagnosis, treatments, and rehabilitation for a variety of chronic and acute conditions in my clients. I have found my time at this Clinic to be invaluable, as it has allowed me to broaden my experiences beyond simply treating professional athletes and learn more about commonly encountered presentations among the general public.

All of the amazing experiences listed above have allowed me to witness a wide variety of injuries and presentations, including: lateral ankle sprains, tennis elbow, hamstring strain, chronic lower back pain, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tear, groin strain, concussion and tib-fib fractures. I look forward to continuing to develop and broaden my experiences with every client that walks through the door, and offering each of them excellent holistic and highly specific care.
