Q: What made you join The Back and Body Clinic?

A: I joined The Back and Body Clinic in 2019 because previously I have been a patient with the clinic and was looked after by the amazing physiotherapists there. Therefore, I wanted to be part of such a great team and help people to recover from injuries and achieve their goals. I went to the clinic due to sporting injuries I acquired from being a triathlete. Being a part of such an incredible company now I am able to replicate the experience I had with the clinic as a Sports Massage Therapist, and now a Physiotherapist.

Q: University and work experience?

A: I have completed an undergraduate BSc in Sports Performance and Coaching at University of Northampton. Throughout school I became a fitness instructor and a personal trainer. This enabled me to work with all kinds of people, including some sporting professionals which opened up my eyes to the different types of sports and training needed to be successful. I also have a passion for swimming so during university I became a swimming teacher as well. During my last year of university, I covered a lot of injury and rehabilitation modules which grew my passion for Sports Massage so I went on to complete my Level 4 Sports Massage Diploma. In July 2023 I then graduated from Coventry University as a Physiotherapist which is definitely where my passion lies now, and I am so pleased.

Q: Favourite rehab exercises?

A: Pelvic floor exercises- I am a pilates teacher as well and these are my go to exercises for anyone with back pain. Having effective core control can have a huge positive impact on the body as a whole.

Q: Top Pastimes?

A: Nothing is better than me being on my surfboard in the sea catching some waves! I’ve been surfing since I was really young. I’ve mainly surfed in North Devon but I’ve also travelled a lot with surfing as well as windsurfing. I also enjoy the gym and keeping fit in other ways such as cycling, yoga, dancing and sports games like netball.

Q: The most relaxing thing?

A: Sunbathing on a beautiful beach in an exotic country!
