As a ski instructor that has worked in Britain, Australia and Japan, Tom has encountered many injuries and seen first-hand the impact these can have on people. This is where his interest in the knee and ACLs really started, on top of an already keen interest in sports as a whole.
Having finished a BSc. in Sports and Exercise Sciences at the University of Birmingham, Tom went on to further complete an MSc. in Physiotherapy at the University of East Anglia. He was then fortunate to work at two of the four major trauma centres in London. He specialised further in spines, pain, hydrotherapy, gym and hand therapy rotations at Guy’s and St Thomas’. Most recently, Tom was successful in achieving funding for a masters module in neuromuscular triage. These experiences have provided him with a huge range of skills to help diagnose, educate and treat a wide range of presentations.
Tom feels strongly that scientific research underpins physiotherapy and is something he utilises daily in the delivery of treatments. Having completed a research project with Norwich City F.C., he has been through the process of appraising, critiquing and leading on effective evidence based practise. This is something that Tom continues to strive for throughout his career.
Working alongside motivated patients, aiming to get them back to their respective goal or interest is always Tom’s aim and what he enjoys most about being a physiotherapist.
