During your first assessment we will discuss your symptoms, lifestyle and goals before a functional, physical assessment. From this information I will help you to understand the cause of your pain and work with you to build a practical plan for your recovery.  Depending on your needs in the assessment we will create a personalised rehabilitation plan adapted to your goals and needs, which may include a combination of evidence-based:

·      Exercise prescription (supported or self-managed plans)

·      Graded return to activity or sport

·      Manual therapy & soft tissue treatment

·      Biomechanical assessment & movement retraining

·      Taping or bracing

·      Lifestyle or workplace advice

Plans are constantly monitored and adapted for your needs as you progress, gently encouraging you through your recovery process.

Sport Rehabilitation for children U18

I have worked with children and young people as a climbing coach and running performance coach and am confident in assessing their injuries, with a mind to their long-term health and competitive performance.  I am particularly interested in working with young people managing coordination conditions such as dyspraxia. If you have any questions please get in touch, or appointments can be made via the standard booking page. (Enhanced DBS Clearance & Insured to work with this demographic)

Support for Long‑Term Health Conditions

Movement and exercise can be beneficial to people living with chronic conditions, and I am passionate about helping my patients to introduce it into their lives in a realistic and practical manner, particular areas of interest include:

·      Obesity

·      Arthritis

·      Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis affects millions of women in the UK, and 1 in 3 will experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. Evidence from national clinical guidelines shows that resistance training is one of the most effective ways to improve bone strength, reduce fracture risk and maintain independence.

·      Neuromuscular conditions

·      Strength, balance and falls prevention

·      Chronic fatigue, ME / MFS and Long Covid

Please get in touch to discuss any adaptations that you may need in order to make an appointment accessible, this can be in the form of home visits in the North London area or appointments online if appropriate.
