ABOUT

I have always taken a keen interest in how the human body works and to this day it never ceases to amaze me. I completed a Sport Science BSc at Winchester University in 2011 and then went to complete an MSc in Physiotherapy, graduating in 2014. In recent years I have completed the Diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine and Postgraduate Modules in The Lumbar Spine & Lower Limb, Cervical Spine & Upper Limb and Soft Tissue & Joint Injection Therapy.

 

With over a decade of delivering high quality, evidenced based musculoskeletal care in both the private and public sector, my time is now spent working as an Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner. This involves seeing complex cases and second opinion work, referring for scans and helping patients make decisions about more invasive treatments like injections and surgery.

 

Like many of us 2020 didn’t exactly go according to plan. My plan was a sabbatical and 12-18 months of travelling. After leaving at the end of January we were back in the U.K. and locked down after 6 weeks. Face to face physiotherapy was no longer accessible so I decided to set up Genuine Physio to help people access evidenced based care from home. I set up a YouTube Channel focusing on joint pain as this was one area there was most misinformation about online. I quickly became passionate about trying to disseminate reassuring, positive messages about movement and exercise to as many people as possible.

 

Having the time to set up Genuine Physio during COVID has given me the platform I needed to ‘go it alone’ at some point. It has taken a while to get things organised, but I am now very excited to be able to offer both face to face and virtual consultations whilst continuing to produce useful content online.

 

My aim is to deliver easily accessible, exceptional care, to get you back on the road to recovery as soon as possible. Whether it is a small niggle or persistent pain I will be able to support you through your journey to improving your quality of life.

​

When I'm not working you'll find me doing something outdoors, running around the local countryside, cycling over The Surrey Hills or spending time with friends and family.

 

Head on over to the 'Bookings' page for more information on how we can start working together. If you have any queries or questions, then please drop me an email: genuinephysio@gmail.com or leave a message at the bottom of the home page and I'll get back to you promptly.
