- Senior Physiotherapist and Sports Massage Therapist
I am a Senior Physiotherapist with over 8 years of combined experience in physiotherapy and sports massage. Although I specialise in sports-injury rehabilitation and prevention, I am well equipped to treat all musculoskeletal conditions and have a special interest in treating knee, ankle, shoulder and lower back injuries.
I trained at the Academy of Physical Education in Katowice, Poland, completing my Masters in Physiotherapy in 2011. Since then, I have worked as a physiotherapist and a sports-trauma management specialist for the National Health Service (NHS) and a number of football and rugby teams during match days.
Curiosity in understanding both science and how best to work with people in healthcare always excited me from my early childhood. This led me to choose physiotherapy as a career. Through my years of study, I was able to understand the anatomical and physiological foundations that give rise to every aspect of movement in the body. Using those studied principles to heal and prevent different injuries and illnesses as a career is what later on became my passion. Also, talking and listening to those with pain humbled me and gave me insight into the need for motivation and emotional support in physiotherapy. This is a factor that enabled the patient, to return to their normal daily life in a way that they feel comfortable, safe, and supported.
Over 3 years of working with sports injuries I have seen an array of different injuries from working with football teams seeing acute injuries to working in a hospital seeing more chronic and complex conditions.
Growing up I had a keen interest in sport and was amazed at how the body works. This led me to studying Sports Therapy BSc Hons at Coventry University, where I was able to combine both of my passions into a career. Since graduating university I have gained valuable experience working in both clinical and sporting environments. Whether an acute condition or chronic, I take pride in helping each individual achieve their full potential.
