Evidence-based physiotherapy to help you heal, recover, and get back to doing what you love.
I’m a physiotherapist with a PhD from Imperial College London, and over the past five and a half years, I’ve worked across elite sport, NHS hospitals, and private practice settings.
I believe wholeheartedly in patient-centred care. That means taking the time to sit with you, listen, and problem-solve — not just treating the symptoms, but getting to the root of the issue and helping you get back to what matters most.
While I treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, my special interest lies in acute knee injuries, particularly ACL injuries. My PhD focused on understanding knee joint laxity and improving the diagnostic and management process for ACL injuries.
My PhD works was a deep dive into knee biomechanics, at the human performance lab at Imperial College London, involving innovating novel ways to measure movement and detect injury.
ACL tears often get a bad reputation — but it’s not all doom and gloom. Surgery can help, but it’s not always the only path. I’ll walk you through every option and help you choose the one that’s right for you.
I work closely with a network of sports medicine consultants and orthopaedic surgeons, which means you’ll have access to comprehensive, collaborative care — whether you need surgical referral, post-operative rehab, cross-bracing protocols, or conservative management.
No two bodies or injuries are the same — and that’s exactly why I love what I do.
No matter your injury or condition, I’ll work with you to understand what’s going on, address the root cause, and get you moving forward with confidence. While I treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, these are the areas I specialise in.
An In-depth assessment tailored to determine your injury/problem, movement goals, and history. Includes diagnosis, necessary onward referrals, treatment, education, and your rehab plan.
Specialist evaluation including diagnostic guidance, surgical vs conservative planning, and early-stage intervention or referral.
Progress monitoring, manual therapy, exercise progression, and strategy review.
Ideal for remote check-ins, injury advice, or rehab progression. Includes a detailed history, movement screening (via video), tailored rehab guidance, and follow-up support via email. Perfect if you’re unable to attend in person but still want expert insight and direction.
Yes – we welcome both self-pay and insured patients.
Self-pay patients: Book online instantly.
Private health insurance patients: Please complete our short Insurance Booking Form so we can verify your policy details (e.g. authorisation codes, session limits) before confirming your appointment. Once submitted, we’ll be in touch promptly to finalise your booking.
New ACL injury (suspected or confirmed): If you think you’ve injured your knee ligaments, or have a confirmed ACL injury without an MRI yet, please book 60 minutes. This allows time for a thorough assessment and diagnosis.
Other new injuries: 45 minutes is usually fine. If you have multiple pain sites, a complex history, or would like extra time, you’re welcome to book 60 minutes.
Follow-up appointments: Choose 30 or 45 minutes depending on how much time you feel you need.
Don’t worry – you’re not alone. Please read our ACL page before your appointment; it will give you an overview of your options so you feel more informed. When we meet, we’ll go through everything together and decide on the best plan for you.
