Live with partner Nicky and daughter Sophie.

Enjoy sport, watching rugby, football, playing pickleball.

Enjoy travelling with family especially ski holidays.

Favourite way to relax having a lovely meal with family.

I just love seeing people who tell me that they are able to do things they thought they wouldn’t be able to do again.

Friendly with a hearty laugh. Never seems to be a day in clinic that someone doesn’t comment on my laugh.

Pain does not have to be permanent. Getting the right advice and doing the right things will always help ease pain.

I once had a client who had severe back pain that was restricting her from getting out of the house and doing her shopping. She loved walking into the town most days. When her back pain stopped her doing this I could really feel her despair. However, once she had completed her treatment and attended our Pilates classes, her back pain had gone. I still see her from time to time in Lisburn town centre walking blissfully painfree with her shopping bags. It’s an amazing success story.

I enjoy skiing with my family, but I also play a lot of pickleball

Play pickleball or go to the gym

I once owned and rode a motorbike

I enjoy the hands on side of treatment as I feel I can get a good gauge of stiffness and tightness in peoples bodies and then manual therapy techniques I use help to relieve these problems.

My mum was a nurse so I guess I’ve always had a sense of wanting to help people, and helping them overcome debilitating injuries gives me a real sense that I’ve made a difference in their lives.

Back pain, Sports injuries, Running injuries, Arthritis, Knee pain

A client will come and see me and we will take our time to have a good chat to find out exactly what the problem is, what it stops them from doing, perform a series of tests and get to the root cause of the problem before formulating a treatment plan

I’m always learning from other people techniques and procedures for easing back pain.

I’m most proud of my physiotherapy degree as I guess I had a number of people who doubted I would be able to actually do it. Well I proved them all wrong!

It’s normal for people to be apprehensive, however honestly, please just come in and see us, let us listen to you and then let us show you how we can help. You can make your mind up from there. Remember we are here to help you, not cause more pain or problems.

‘No pain, no gain”. I just don’t like that. Physiotherapy shouldn’t make any problem worse. Some things may be tender post treatment but that will generally ease quickly. The no pain no gain motto I would say can work for people who are training to get fit.

I want people to leave my treatment room with a greater understanding of their condition and a vision and plan of how they are going to get better!
