I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2008 and have spent the past 18 years working in physiotherapy, primarily in musculoskeletal private practice across West Yorkshire. During the Covid pandemic I returned to the NHS, where I spent five years working as a First Contact Physiotherapist before returning to private practice. I now work exclusively in private practice. My time as a First Contact Physiotherapist gave me experience in assessing patients in much the same way as a GP would. As well as diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal problems, I was able to assess for more serious medical conditions, arrange investigations such as X-rays and blood tests when appropriate, and refer patients on for further medical assessment. It was a valuable experience that broadened my understanding of the many different things that can present as a seemingly straightforward muscle or joint problem. I have an MSc in Health Studies and a Postgraduate Certificate in First Contact Physiotherapy. Over nearly two decades I've worked with an enormous variety of people — from those in their 90s looking to regain mobility and independence, through to high-level and record-holding weightlifters. Some of my clinical specialties include running-related injuries, hip and groin injuries, and temporomandibular disorder (TMJ or jaw joint). I also often provide second opinions on complex cases for other musculoskeletal specialists. I enjoy this variety and particularly like helping people remain active, whether that means getting back to sport, continuing to train as they get older, or simply being able to do the everyday things they want to do. My approach is straightforward: work out what is actually going on, explain it clearly, and then work with you to find a practical solution. I'm interested in helping people understand their problem rather than simply treating the painful bit, and in finding ways to keep people active rather than unnecessarily restricting what they can do. I'm currently continuing to develop my skills and knowledge in exercise, rehabilitation and behaviour change — although I'm still working on my Jedi skills, so I haven't quite mastered the art of fixing people with a wave of my hand. Outside physiotherapy, I have a real passion for food and love experimenting in the kitchen. I'm a self-confessed chocoholic and particularly fond of puddings, which I attempt to balance out by staying active, lifting weights and running.
