Company Director

I qualified as a Physiotherapist in 1994, becoming a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) from the Royal Orthopaedic School of Physiotherapy at Birmingham University. I have also completed several modules on a masters course at Coventry University, including a module on ergonomics.

I have worked in various NHS organisations, including Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Warwick Hospital and George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton. I have been a Clinical Specialist in Back Pain, and a highly specialised physiotherapist working in Musculo-Skeletal Outpatients, Gym rehabilitation, Hydrotherapy and a Hand Therapy Unit. I have worked with various sports clubs, specialising in the treatment of sports injuries, and I regularly assist the development of physiotherapy degree students, facilitating their learning within the clinical environment.

I have recently been taking part in back pain research project which has now been completed and published.
