After 12 years working internationally in the creative sector, I returned to full time education in 2019 and I am training to be a physiotherapist at Glasgow Caledonian University. As a keen tennis player I have routinely experienced upper body issues and have long used sports massage as a method of pain and injury management. Combined with regular exercise I have been able to improve technique, stability and endurance. As a Physiotherapy student I have an in-depth understanding of anatomy and biomechanics. I am passionate about rehabilitation and use a wide variety of techniques to aid in trauma recovery. I hope to offer clients a supportive and inclusive experience to help increase their mobility and activity goals
