I know what it's like to be the patient.

I got into this work because of my own back. A powerlifting injury left me with back pain for years, and racing downhill mountain bikes added more damage on top, including a fractured pelvis.

I went to more therapists than I can count and got nowhere. Most treated the spot that hurt and sent me on my way. It came back every time.

That frustration is what got me interested in why pain happens, not just where. It's shaped how I've worked ever since.

Pain usually shows up where your body is under the most stress, and that stress often comes from somewhere else. So I don't just treat where it hurts. I find out why it started, treat the areas feeding into it, and when the time is right, give you a rehab plan to make it less likely to come back.

Higher Diploma in Neuromuscular and Physical Therapy, and a BOst (Hons) in Osteopathy. I practise independently. My training continues: every technique I use traces back to the people who defined it.
