Frequently asked questions
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
I predominantly treat lower limb injuries or the hip, knee, foot & ankle. These can be due to overload/overuse or a specific injury or trauma. I commonly treat a lot of post-surgical knee and ankle patients including ligament reconstruction. I also treat women with pelvic and low back during and post-pregnancy.
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
A lot of my treatment is focused around exercise based rehab. I also use manual therapy, acupuncture and taping for pain relief but this is always an adjunct to help people return to exercise. Movement and strengthening is key!
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
From a clinical point of view ACL rehab especially with regard to return to sport and postnatal return to sport/exercise. My sporting areas of interest include running, CrossFit, basketball, netball, and boxing. Having participated in all of them at some point myself helps me have a good understanding of what is required when formulating rehab for patients.
