Adventure Sports Physiotherapy
Providing expert, personalised, holistic care and advice for people who work and play in the outdoors.
Based in North Wales, I work with clients across a broad spectrum of occupations and activities, from office workers to outdoor instructors, triathletes and recreational climbers.
The treatments I provide are evidence based and proven to work – designed to support you throughout the rehabilitation process. With expertise in several key disciplines, my goal is to enable and empower you to achieve the best possible outcome in recovering from your injury, so that you can return to the activities you love and continue to look after your body in the long term.
Every client has their own unique needs, so my treatment plans are specially tailored to suit your exact requirements.

I’ve always been passionate about the outdoors and have travelled all around the world to engage in my favourite activities, which include climbing and mountaineering, running, skiing, mountain biking and open water swimming.
After 12 years working as an instructor in the outdoor industry, during which I sustained multiple injuries, I developed a keen interest in the process of rehabilitation. These injuries had a serious impact on my ability to continue in my chosen career.
With so many others in the outdoor community facing the same issue, I decided to channel my passion into helping those people recover from their injuries – not only to provide relief from pain, but to help them build strength and resilience beyond their previous level so that they could avoid further injury and continue to enjoy the activities they love.
Since 2018, I’ve been working as a professional physiotherapist, providing services to individuals and groups of people who participate in adventure sports, particularly climbers.
During this time, I have found that the best course of treatment goes beyond addressing the symptoms of a single injury and takes a more holistic approach, looking at a range of contributing factors such as posture, technique and training load. I believe this approach is the reason my clients often report that they feel stronger after treatment than they did before their injury, which is always the most rewarding result for me!
After gaining my BSc in Physiotherapy from Sheffield Hallam University, I continued to pursue post-graduate study in my specialism, qualifying as a Member of the Society of Musculoskeletal Medicine.
I also took courses in treating climbing-specific injuries under Dr Jared Vagey, gained a Pilates Matwork Level Three instructor qualification with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute, engaged in specialist training in pre- and post-natal Pilates, and gained a Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage.
