Osteopath
I have a deep passion for understanding the body’s mechanics and capabilities, which has been shaped by my background in rugby union and cricket. From an early age, my interest in sports, coupled with my studies in osteopathy, has driven my focus on strength and conditioning, as well as optimizing performance through body mechanics. This focus extends to both athletic endeavours and everyday life, where I aim to help individuals enhance their functional capacity and overall well-being.
My motivation as a health practitioner lies in empowering people to achieve their personal goals, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life. I have a particular interest in treating sports-related injuries, including shoulder, neck, and knee conditions, and in addressing muscle imbalances through targeted exercise prescription. By focusing on individualized treatment plans, I work to restore function, prevent injury, and enhance performance.
I am passionate about educating patients on how to care for their bodies through proper training, ergonomic practices, and lifestyle modifications, with the goal of fostering long-term health and vitality. My approach is centred on providing the guidance, support, and tools necessary for individuals to achieve their goals, whether that’s reducing discomfort, reaching training milestones, or enhancing daily movement patterns.
Throughout my clinical placements and experience, I’ve had the opportunity to treat a diverse range of patients from those with arthritic and chronic pain conditions to individuals recovering from acute sporting injuries, disc or nerve-related issues, and various head and neck presentations. My time in a sporting environment both playing and treating this gave me valuable experience with return to sport protocols, injury management, and designing effective rehabilitation programs to help athletes safely get back to performing at their best.
Outside of my work in osteopathy, I enjoy hanging out with friends, functional training, rugby union, golf, and the beach. My reason for becoming an osteopath begun when I had a series of sporting injuries when I was younger which then triggered my interest in the body and how it works.
