I studied Physiotherapy at the University of the West of England from 1998 - 2001 and received a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy Degree. I have been State Registered since qualification, and I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.

- Respiratory Conditions.
Since 2003, I have been employed by Worcestershire NHS Trust and have been involved in neurological rehabilitation of persons affected by:
- Stroke.
- Acquired Brain Injury.
- Traumatic Brain Injury.
- Post-operative Neurosurgery.
- Multiple Sclerosis.
- Parkinsons Disease.
- Spinal Injuries.
I have also gained experience in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal complaints. I have attended many courses to keep abreast of advances in Physiotherapy and best practice, these include:
- Three Bobath Courses; involving normal movement and the treatment of high and low tone.
