A Little About Me
Outside the clinic, I enjoy keeping active and appreciate the role exercise plays in both performance and long-term health. My background in exercise science and passion for sport continue to shape the way I approach rehabilitation, helping people move better, recover well, and get back to doing what they enjoy.
“Helping people move with confidence, perform at their best, and stay active is what drives my approach to physiotherapy.”
