I qualified as a physiotherapist at the University of Essex after completing a Bachelor degree in sport and exercise science and then a Master’s degree in physiotherapy. I began my journey working with the rheumatoid arthritis group where I taught Pilates exercises and hydrotherapy to help patients to manage this condition. Whilst training and since qualifying I have had the incredible opportunity to work with a wide range of people with various musculoskeletal, respiratory and neurological conditions. I enjoyed working with military personnel, rugby and other sporting athletes and also children with cystic fibrosis and cerebral palsy.
