I started off as a footballer and played at county level as a junior. Unfortunately I suffered a serious injury and that impacted my playing career but I was interested in the treatments I had received and this experience made me want to help people with their injuries, especially in sport.

 

In 2016 I decided to go to carshalton college and complete my personal training qualification, which has been a part time job ever since. After that I went on to do my degree in sports therapy, qualifying as a sports massage therapist in 2018, and finishing my degree with First-Class Honours  in June 2020. This course has lead to an interest in functional rehabilitation and also strength and conditioning for a number of sports including football, athletics and many more. 

 

Throughout the last five years I have completed work placements at Crystal Palace ladies FC, Royal Holloway university and also Sutton Common rovers FC, a local semi-pro football team. This means that I have had experience in diagnosing injury, treating soft tissue and muscular symptoms, prescribing rehabilitation exercises and using a range of techniques to improve function and sports performance .

 

In the future I hope to build up a solid working relationship with as many people at the clinic as possible and help them with continuing the sports and hobbies that they love, whether that is playing a competitive sport or just getting going out for their weekly jog.
