When I am not in clinic, you can either find me with the horses or pitchside. I am the lead Sports Therapist for Malvern Town Fc, a non-league football club based in Worcestershire. Thew 2022/23 season, we were promoted into Step 4 which means a lot of travelling down south for games! My role is to provide pitchside first aid for the first team on match days with my ITMMIF qualification, as well as injury assessment and provide rehabilitation for players when they are injured. I have also taken on work with Swindon Town where I am providing pitchside first aid for the academy and youth development teams on training and the occasional match days! Feel free to get in touch for more information about my different roles in sport and what I get up to when I am not running my clinic!

So, what do I get up to outside of the clinic? I have been around horses all my life, and when I am not in my clinic, I work with horses a couple of mornings. a week. Growing up around horses and riding, I have a good understanding of the demands of the rider and how riding can impact your strength and training programmes. I also know the risk and how frustrating it can be when you get injured! Gym and weightlifting are a great passion of mine and after joining my local CrossFit gym during the Summer of 2023, I fell in love with weight training which highlighted the importance of staying healthy and strong whilst in this line of work. In February 2024, I am taking part in my first Strongwoman competition which has been an amazing learning opportunity to find out what my body can do and how different training It is safe to say, I have had a good go at most types of training and my vast experiences have allowed me to gain a more in-depth understanding of a variety of sports and potential muscular injuries and conditions
