I am a driven, confident and skilful Sports Chiropractor with considerable professional sport experience.
I work side by side with the team doctor, physiotherapy and manual therapy team complementing the dynamic unit and helping improve performance. I integrate on a short-term consultancy basis or preferably in a full time position.
My role should be in the initial stages of clinical intervention treating neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions and helping to improve performance.
I have a lot to offer a team looking to integrate advancements into their medical team. I help players who are not getting the most from their careers due to persistent injuries, chronic pain and injury recurrences.

I possess a natural aptitude in the area of diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions.
My forte is neuro-muscular, tempro-mandibular and spinal assessment using advanced screening protocols. I also have a keen interest and experience in whole body cryotherapy and lower limb biomechanics.
