What I Help With

Living, working or spending time in Snowdonia means your body is regularly exposed to demanding terrain and physical challenges. From steep mountain walks and technical climbing to repetitive lifting and long days outdoors, injuries can develop gradually or happen unexpectedly.

I help active people across Eryri recover from injury, reduce pain and return confidently to work, sport and adventure through evidence-based physiotherapy and personalised rehabilitation.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can limit everything from climbing and kayaking to lifting equipment and reaching overhead. Following a detailed assessment, I develop an individual rehabilitation programme to restore movement, improve strength and reduce pain.

Climbing Injuries

As a physiotherapist specialising in climbing injuries, I assess and treat finger pulley injuries, tendon problems, shoulder pain, elbow injuries and overuse conditions affecting climbers of all abilities. Whether you’re a weekend climber or a professional instructor, rehabilitation is tailored to your climbing goals.

Back Pain

Back pain can affect your ability to enjoy the mountains, carry equipment or complete everyday tasks. Treatment focuses on identifying the underlying cause before creating a rehabilitation programme that supports long-term recovery and resilience.

Neck Pain

Whether caused by work, repetitive strain, sport or poor posture, neck pain can become increasingly limiting if left untreated. I combine hands-on treatment with targeted rehabilitation exercises to improve movement, reduce stiffness and restore confidence.

Hand & Finger Pain

Hand and finger injuries are particularly common among climbers and outdoor professionals. Whether you’re experiencing tendon irritation, joint pain or climbing-specific finger injuries, I provide rehabilitation designed to restore strength, mobility and function.

Knee Pain

Whether you’ve developed knee pain while hiking Yr Wyddfa, descending mountain trails, running or climbing, physiotherapy can help improve movement, strength and confidence while addressing the cause of your symptoms.

Golfer's & Tennis Elbow

Elbow pain can affect climbing, lifting, paddling and everyday activities. I provide progressive rehabilitation programmes that restore tendon health, reduce pain and improve long-term function.

Foot & Ankle Pain

Foot and ankle pain can prevent you enjoying everything Snowdonia has to offer. I assess the source of your symptoms before creating an individual rehabilitation programme to improve stability, mobility and strength so you can return to the mountains confidently.
