physiotherapy in london & elite sport

I started my career gaining a strong foundation in all areas of medicine in the largest University Teaching Hospitals in the North West of England. I then specialised in Musculoskeletal Medicine which took me to Australia to study for a Masters in Spinal Manipulation and Sports Physiotherapy at the University of Western Australia in Perth, before moving to London.

In London, I worked in specialised Sports Medicine Clinics and then set up my own private practice in Belgravia. Since the start of my career I have always worked in elite sport including Premier Rugby Football Teams, National Hockey Teams and the Womens Tennis Association on international tournaments. I currently work as a sessional Physiotherapist at Chelsea FC for the Academy and the Womens Academy.

I have built up a very loyal patient base in and around the area, many patients returning with new injuries or sending their family members or friends, bringing together a strong community of patients who want to continue to improve, not only, their physical health but emotional well being. I have also established very strong and trusting relationships with the GPs and Consultants in and around Chelsea, Marylebone, Mayfair and Knightsbridge. The GPs and Consultants know their patients they refer will be looked after.

My focus is ensuring the patient feels valued and looked after. I am passionate and fully committed, in what I do. My strengths are making the patient feel comfortable, relaxed and to know they are in the right place and will get the right diagnosis. My experience and listening skills enables the patient to explain their story of their injury in full to get the accurate diagnosis, the true source of the pain/injury and the right treatment plan. This is what I enjoy the most in what I do.
