Meet the Founder

Understanding you, not just your pain.

When you are in pain, it is natural to focus on where it hurts. But the painful area is not always where the real problem begins.

I don't believe in simply chasing the pain. I want to understand why it is there in the first place.

I take the time to listen to you, understand your symptoms and how they affect your everyday life. I then use a sequence of simple, functional tests to look at how your body moves and identify the underlying areas of restriction, weakness or poor movement control that may be contributing to your problem.

Once we understand what is happening, I use hands-on treatment to release tight and restricted areas and help restore your movement. We then work together with specific exercises to activate, strengthen and retrain the areas that need it.

My aim is not simply to give you temporary relief. It is to help you understand your body, move with confidence and address the root of the problem. Every person is different, and your treatment should be too.

I'm here to listen, find the cause, treat it properly and help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.

Don't just chase the pain. Find the reason behind it.

The Running Assessment

A session that changes how you run.

My running assessments are thorough by design. Together we look closely at your technique, then build a plan to prevent and recover from acute or chronic injury — through gait retraining and a strength programme made for your body and your goals.

Whether you're returning from injury or chasing a personal best, you'll leave knowing exactly how to run better — and why.

As an active middle-distance runner myself, I coach from the inside of the sport.
