ME THE PHYSIO
MY PHYSIO BACKGROUND
My initial interest in physiotherapy came from my involvement in community sport, as well as my own experiences as an injured community athlete. The amazing care I received throughout the years left a profound impact that ultimately pushed me into becoming a physio.
I initially completed a year of health and medical sciences, which laid the foundations of biomechanics and the human body before I transferred into the physiotherapy degree.
WHY I CHOOSE TO BE A PHYSIO
I’ve always loved numbers, puzzles and riddles, and the human body is one big, living, moving puzzle! Helping people put the puzzle pieces back together after an injury, as well as having the opportunity to listen to individual’s stories and experiences led me to become a physiotherapist.
WHY I LOVE BEING A PHYSIO
Helping people achieve their goals, whether they are big or small is incredibly fufilling. Having the opportunity to work closely with people to help improve their pain, strength or overall health is amazing.
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?
Having grown up locally, I’m very aware of the demands of local sporting competitions and working life, giving me a great insight in how to best help you.
My own sporting and working experiences also give me a great background knowledge which I can combine with my physio assessment skills to get you back to your best.
TOP TIPS
BEST WAY TO KEEP ACTIVE & HEALTHY
Make it relevant and fun to you! Whether that’s walking the dog, hitting the gym or playing organised sport, any exercise helps.
MOVEMENT TIP
The best posture is your next posture. Try to keep moving and change positions regularly when at work or at home. This could mean walking around the office, doing some stretches or simply standing instead of
sitting.
MY CORE MESSAGE IS
Build confidence through movement and understanding. I aim to guide you through your journey, helping you gain a better understanding of your body and how you can move better.
