I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2005 and currently work within the NHS and Nuffield Health. I have many years of experience treating male and female patients with pelvic heath conditions and musculoskeletal dysfunction. I see many female patients during and after pregnancy through to menopause stage of life. Pelvic Health Conditions i treat related to the pelvic floor include bladder and bowel dysfunction, male and female pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction and pelvic organ prolapse. I also treat many patients after gynaecological surgery and men pre/post prostatectomy surgery. 

As a physio working in pelvic health there are many benefits to help with symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic Health physiotherapy aims to increase your understanding of your condition with education and provides progressive treatment strategies to help support you to have control and management over your symptoms. Having experience in pelvic health and musculoskeletal conditions I find allows for a more whole body and holistic approach to assessment and treatment. Making sure symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction are not a barrier to exercise, activity and quality of life.

Since graduating, I have worked in a variety of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal settings in initially NHS and then private sectors.

I developed a keen interest in foot and ankle problems since working with elite dance students at Elmhurst Ballet School where these injuries were common.

Since being at the Nuffield, I have therefore fostered a strong link with our foot and ankle consultants to facilitate the best possible care for our patients and enjoy developing the foot service with them further. I have post graduate training in lower limb biomechanics and orthotic provision to aid recovery if required.

I also have training in vestibular rehabilitation from completing "The Balance Course" at Southampton University. This is a specialist treatment for people suffering with vertigo and dizziness that is not offered by all physiotherapists.

As well as working clinically, I am also the National Physiotherapy Lead for Nuffield Health.  My role includes providing professional leadership for our physiotherapists and working with the wider Nuffield Health team to champion the impact that physiotherapy has.  I am to ensure that all our physiotherapists are able to provide the best possible care for all their patients.

Since graduating from Cardiff University in 2010 I have worked across both the NHS and private sectors in England and New Zealand. Being a keen sportswoman myself, I understand the importance of rehabilitation post injury and injury prevention with a particular interest in sporting injuries, especially of the knee and ankle, developing rehabilitation programmes and helping patients achieve their goals.  More recently I work within the inpatient orthopaedic setting, helping patients recover post-surgery and assist in discharge planning.

At Nuffield Health we are always looking to find ways we can go that extra mile for patients and develop the services we offer to make their healthcare experience the best it can be. In my managerial role I am proud to look after the Physiotherapy and Health Screening teams, supporting them to develop clinically and ensuring that across the two services we deliver the highest quality care for our patients.

I also have a degree in Sports Science that gives me a rounded view of what is required to return to high level sporting activity.

In January 2020 I moved to Nuffield Health where I work as part of the outpatient musculoskeletal team. I treat a variety of different conditions, but have a particular interest in lower limb tendinopathies, ACL rehabilitation and hydrotherapy. To treat patients, I use an array of different rehabilitation techniques to reach common goals that are set with the patient.

Since graduating from Cardiff University in 2018, I have worked in a variety of specialities in the NHS, including musculoskeletal, neurology, respiratory, medical and orthopaedics. This has enabled me to develop my knowledge and skills, and apply them to subsequent work settings. I have also been fortunate enough to work with the Hockey Wales Under 16s and Under 18s squads, providing services at training camps, as well as at a test series in Northern Ireland in 2022.

As a team member at Nuffield, I work in both inpatients and outpatients, where I can continue to broaden my experience in these areas, and work closely with colleagues from numerous professions to deliver the best care possible to our patients.

As a keen hockey player outside of work, I understand the importance of rehabilitating effectively following injury, as well as preventing and reducing the risk of injuries and potential issues associated with sport. I also did a large amount of dancing growing up, which has further fuelled my interest in this area of physiotherapy.

I am passionate about working with patients to help them achieve their goals, and doing this in a way that is specific to them and their needs. Through methods including education, exercise prescription and manual therapy, I always do my utmost to provide the most effective care possible, and find it very rewarding to see patients progress and be able to do the things they enjoy.
