Bio

After completing a BSc in Physiology in 2000, I went on to graduate from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, in 2004 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy. In 2014 I completed my Masters degree in Musculoskeletal Medicine, specialising in spinal manipulation for chronic low back pain. I spent the first 8 years of my career within the NHS, whilst also working privately with sports teams and in private musculoskeletal injury clinics. More recently I qualified as a Musculoskeletal Sonographer and injection therapist which allows me to diagnose injuries using ultrasound scanning and administer injection therapy as required.

Best part of your job

The people! We are extremely fortunate to have a fantastic team and group of patients, there is never a dull moment in the clinic.

Where are you most likely to be found on your days off?

I spend my free time running after my two young children, Ädeline and Daisy and occasionally still manage to enjoy a cycle, a solo run or yoga.
