The Recovery Room
United Kingdom, Southampton
My passion for teaching, and improving the health and well-being of others, is the reason why I love my job.
Main Services:
Shockwave therapy, Running injury treatment, Running gait analysis, Sports massage, Acupuncture, Sports therapy , Sports injury clinic, Injury treatment , Physiotherapy , Knee pain treatment
My clinical experience has developed from my hobbies, as I am known for being a lower limb running injury specialist.
My special areas of interest include; chronic overuse injury, as well as, coping with chronic pain. I am also trained in shockwave therapy for chronic tendinopathy.
This is coupled with an enjoyment of all sports, the outdoors, and anything active. I am an avid trail runner and enjoy running distances from half marathons to ultra marathons (38 miles), very very slowly! Being active can have an inherent risk of becoming injured.
Experiencing this personally has helped me appreciate times of adversity, and how it can make you a better person and stronger performer.
My undergraduate degree in Sports Science (BSc) from the University of Southampton was the start of my career in sport.
Tennis is my main sport and I qualified as an LTA level 4 coach and have experience of teaching all age and abilities in Romsey, Southampton and Salisbury.
During this time, my interest was teaching people the correct techniques and biomechanics was developed. I then realised this interest and qualified with an MSc in Sports Therapy from London Metropolitan University in 2012.
I clearly explain how you got injured, and what you can do to recover in an optimal timeframe. Although I treat all types of sports injuries, running injuries and lower limb problems are my main areas of interest.
