About Me
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. My approach is simple: make sure you understand your injury inside and out, so you feel confident, empowered, and in control of your recovery.
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. 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.
