I completed my MSc at the University of Hertfordshire in 2011, followed by my
PhD at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in 2019. My PhD thesis was
entitled 'the influence of lower limb biomechanics on the development,
persistence and management of patellofemoral pain in recreational runners'. I
spent 10 years as a Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist at Pure Sports
Medicine, London’s leading private Sports Medicine clinic, where I also acted as
the company's Head of Research. In April 2021, I joined the School of
Rehabilitation and Exercise Science at the University of Essex as a Lecturer
(Education and Research) in Physiotherapy. I am also a post-doctoral Research
Fellow in Sports & Exercise Medicine at QMUL and a Visiting Lecturer at the
University of Hertfordshire, contributing to their post-graduate physiotherapy
programme. I have published in several leading peer-reviewed journals, including
the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Gait & Posture and Physical Therapy in
Sport, where I am also an editorial advisor. My main research interests are in
Patellofemoral Pain and other knee pathologies, biomechanics, running-related
injury and the epidemiology of musculoskeletal conditions.
