Whatsyour favourite aspect of working in Myotherapy?
My favourite aspect would be hearing that my treatment has helped people feel better on the day, but more importantly it’s helping them long term.

What are some of the conditions that you find you are most successful in helping people with?
Sports is a specialisation of mine so I find I have a good understanding of the demands of sports and certain injuries occurring in different sports. With clinical issues I have success with headaches, hip neck and shoulder conditions.
Forearms and feet too…a bit of an all rounder.
