My aim is not only to help you return to sport safely and successfully, but also to identify areas for improvement to build confidence, enhance performance and reduce the risk of future injury.

I am a Chartered Physiotherapist with nine years of experience, having graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2017. I began my career in the NHS, working across musculoskeletal outpatients, orthopaedics and neurology, before developing a particular interest in sports injuries and rehabilitation.

Early in my career, I combined NHS work with roles at Stoke City Ladies FC and in private practice, where I also completed the AACP Western Medical Acupuncture qualification.

I then moved into professional football, joining Wigan Athletic FC Academy in a full-time role. Here, I worked predominantly with the U18 to U23 age groups, while also supporting the first-team squad in the Championship during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2021, I joined Liverpool FC Academy, working as part of a large multidisciplinary team to assess, treat and rehabilitate a wide variety of sporting injuries. I also supported academy squads on international tours throughout Europe. This experience gave me a strong foundation in managing both acute and long-term sporting injuries, as well as growth-related conditions in adolescent athletes.

I joined Pure Sports Medicine in August 2023, where my practice has developed further within a highly collaborative multidisciplinary environment. Over the past three years, I have worked with a wide range of recreational and competitive athletes, supporting them from initial diagnosis and early-stage rehabilitation through to advanced rehabilitation and return to sport.

My main specialist area is knee injuries, including ACL and meniscal rehabilitation, alongside a particular interest in hip, ankle and shoulder injuries in sporting populations. I have a strong focus on late-stage rehabilitation and return-to-sport testing, using objective data and sport-specific testing to guide decision-making and ensure athletes are physically prepared for the demands of their sport.

My approach is data-driven and evidence-informed, combining clinical assessment with objective strength, movement and performance measures. My aim is not only to help you return to sport safely and successfully, but also to identify areas for improvement to build confidence, enhance performance and reduce the risk of future injury.

At Pure Sports Medicine, I work closely with our multidisciplinary team of sports doctors, podiatrists, strength and conditioning coaches, Pilates instructors and soft tissue therapists. This collaborative approach allows us to bring together different areas of expertise and provide a clear, individualised pathway from injury through to full performance.
