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.

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.
