What Inspires You in Your Work? 

Witnessing clients overcome physical challenges and return to activities they love fuels my passion. It's incredibly rewarding to apply my expertise to facilitate their recovery, improve their performance, and enhance their overall well-being. The resilience of the human body and the positive impact of tailored therapy continually inspire me to provide the highest level of care and support.

​

Personal Interests 

Outside of the clinic, I'm passionate about staying active through running and weightlifting. Having personally navigated sports injuries from hockey, cycling and CrossFit, I understand the challenges athletes face and bring that lived experience to my therapy approach. I also enjoy exploring the local Oldham countryside on walks with the family.
