specifically for runners - The Runner's Guide I run workshops for running and
endurance based clubs all across the country on many topics I have a strong
passion not just for Physiotherapy but also sport in general. As a keen and
competitive runner myself, I understand what it feels like to be injured. This
drives me to keep my patients/athletes training and competing wherever possible
and to enable people to achieve the absolute best that they are capable of. With
over 10 years of experience coaching athletics and competing myself plus over 5
years dealing with soft tissue injuries, I have built up a wealth of experience
dealing with running-related injuries and those related to triathlon as well. I
currently work with elite world record holders, England international runners,
National level swimmers, fast club runners, Ironman triathletes, couch to 5kers,
parkrunners, runners who have just started their running journey and high level
rugby players. Local Community - Tavistock, Devon I live in beautiful Devon, on
Dartmoor near Tavistock in the stunning village of Mary Tavy. Having grown up in
Tavistock, it's great to know the area and the people who live here. I have
several active roles within the community including: Volunteer at the local
Parkinson's UK exercise group Running/ Athletics Coach and Senior Head Coach at
Tavistock Athletic Club Senior Coach Coordinator on the Tavistock Athletic Club
committee Knowing my community is really important to me and helping others is
my passion, that is why I chose to be a Physiotherapist. Professional Body Work
I am heavily involved with the professional body for Physiotherapy, the
Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and I am currently a core member of the
CSP South West English Regional Network (SWERN). I was Former Chair of the South
West and Wales CSP Student Meeting and a former member of the CSP Student
Representative Group (SRG). I live and breathe Physiotherapy. Those that know me
will attest to me being unbelievably obsessed with the profession. It's purely
because I know that Physiotherapy can make such a big difference to so many
peoples lives, across a huge range of issues, not just musculoskeletal. I love
what I do and have been told for years that it shows in my clinical practice.
