My Inspiration - Treatment That Works for You!"I have experienced first-hand what it means to have pain and suffer from injuries that prevent you from doing what you love. Competing successfully at the national level in Beach Volleyball, I have spent hours doing rehabilitation exercises and on the treatment table as a patient myself: Despite suffering a herniated disc and a complicated ankle fracture among other injuries, I still enjoy competing and won English National Beach Volleyball Masters in 2015 and 2016 as well as being consistently ranked in the TOP 3 of the English National Beach Volleyball Championship till 2023.
Combining this personal background with my extensive experience of treating musculoskeletal injuries, pains and imbalances gives me a deeper understanding of what it takes to get patients better and back on track. My passion is to understand what your body needs and my priority will always be to get you back to doing what matters to you at your personal best - whether that's simply enjoying life, staying fit and active, recovering from injury or improving your performance." |

Where suitable, care may include osteopathic manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, movement advice, rehabilitation exercises, taping, sports massage or medical acupuncture.
