Q&A
How do you unwind after a busy day?
I love painting landscape scenes, cooking a hearty meal from scratch, and heading out to watch the sunset. It’s the perfect way to slow down, switch off, and recharge.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you?
Tea bags, a really long book, and a fishing rod. I’d be caffeinated, entertained, and (hopefully) well fed.
What's the most rewarding part of your job?
Helping people get back to doing the things they love, whether that’s returning to sport, keeping up with family, or simply moving without pain. Seeing someone’s confidence grow as they recover is one of the most rewarding parts of being a physiotherapist.
