As a freshly qualified Physiotherapist I could not understand why none of my patients got better, so in the 1980's I took my postgraduate training in Australia. This was the turning point in my career. I spent valuable time in the company of Jenny McConnell, the famous Sydney Physiotherapist. Her functional approach to assessment and treatment underpin my clinical ethos today. For the last three decades I have helped in the management and treatment of some of the worlds top sportsmen and women (not to name drop, but my favourite has to be Tim Henman, on and off the court a class act). That level of experience takes a while to gain, and is never easy, but that's what helps me get results other clinicians dream about.

 It was May 2nd 2007 that I underwent spinal surgery on a dodgy disc after spending the previous 2 months with severe low back pain and sciatica. This experience has given me a different level of understanding and has spurred on my desire for plain-speaking diagnosis while reinforcing my commitment to functional rehabilitation. I have lived and worked in London since 1991. That's 20 years!! The first 18 were spent as the Founder and Clinical Director of Fulham Physio - the group of clinics that is now Six Physio. When the company grew to a staff of 78, and I didn't know every single colleague personally, I realised that bespoke was more my style and it was time to stop. I took a break and have spent the last 2 winters working (and skiing) in the French Alps. 

 Right now I am proud to be back in London full time as part of the team at Beyondhealth.
