I hold a BSc in Physiotherapy from the University of Brighton and have been a qualified physiotherapist for over 16 years offering physiotherapy to help individuals recover from injuries and improve their mobility. My experience in the field has helped many patients regain their strength and live pain-free lives.

​

Having successfully managed an NHS department for 5 years, my expertise and leadership skills have developed others. In my most recent role as a First Contact Practitioner in Devizes, I have remained passionate in delivering a high level of service to patients. I continue to expand on my knowledge and skills, having completed many post graduate modules at masters level. 

​

During my career, I have helped patients with various conditions, including:

​

• Back pain

• Sporting injuries

• Post surgical rehabilitation

• Soft tissue issues

• Arthritis 

• Pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy and more. 

​

In the September 2023, I took the bold step to establish my own private practice by offering bespoke physio sessions in my spare time, and I seek to provide tailored and individual treatments to meet the unique needs of each client. I am still working part time in a specialist First Contact Practitioner role for the NHS, and to run a private clinic every Tuesday evening between 1630-1800 and Thursday between 0900-1430 at Market Lavington Surgery. The Surgery is a working NHS practice which is part of the Devizes Primary Care Network (PCN). I am fully licensed, insured and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).

 

I live in Devizes and I’m married with two daughters. In our spare time I love to go Camping come rain or shine, I enjoy Paddleboarding, going to the beach and being active and keeping fit.

Please get in touch and we can discuss how physiotherapy might be helpful for you.
