About me

I’m a self-confessed running biomechanics nerd and sports injury rehab specialist, I’ve been helping people get out of pain and back to doing what they love for nearly 25 years.
But running has never just been about fitness for me. These days I chose trails over chasing road PBs. Being off road, away from noise and pressure, is where I reset sometimes thinking clearly, sometimes not thinking at all.
Running has also played a huge role in managing my own mental health. I naturally overthink and over process and running has been one of the most effective ways I’ve found to quiet that, regain perspective, and become the best version of me both in life and in clinic.
In my 20s, I went through a long period of back pain that affected me both physically and mentally. I saw a range of professionals, but it wasn’t until I started properly understanding how and why things work that things began to change. I’ve always needed to understand the “why” behind things, it’s just how my brain works.
That experience is what led me to change career in my 30s and focus on helping others get out of pain. Because for many of the people I work with, it’s never just about the injury. It’s about getting back to something that keeps them grounded, gives them clarity, and helps them cope.
I specialise in running biomechanics, injury rehab, back pain recovery and hands on treatment. Over the past two decades I’ve trained with leading biomechanics organisations, written for national running magazines and spoken at major marathon training events.
But what really drives me is helping people reconnect with the thing that makes them feel like themselves again. Whether that’s running, the gym, or simply moving without pain.

Sport (or more accurately… movement):
I’ve always been drawn to things that challenge me physically and mentally: boxing, any form of marshall art, calisthenics, weight training, CrossFit style training, circuits… and these days, mostly trail running. Less chasing PB's, more chasing headspace.
Last time I was genuinely scared: Crewing a 72ft, 40-ton racing yacht out of the Bahamas through a lightning storm at the start of hurricane season. We made it to Fort Lauderdale tired and traumatized, but in one piece… but I’ve never felt small like that before.
Strengths: Creative, imaginative, persistent and painfully stubborn trying to figure things out when they don’t make sense.
Weaknesses: That same stubbornness and excessive hyper focus, I don’t give up easily. Useful… until it isn’t!
Most impressive place I’ve ever experienced: Flight deck clearance on a Boeing 747-400 coming into London Heathrow Airport at 6:30am. Watching the world wake up from that perspective is the closest thing I’ve ever felt to something spiritual.
Final meal: A proper Sunday roast (thanks to my mum, who was an incredible cook and caterer), or a really good seafood paella.
Biggest personal win: Getting over my fear of speaking in front of large groups. Something I avoided for years and now actively lean into.
Two people I’d have round for dinner: The late Sean Lock for obvious reasons and Darren Brown (I’d spend the whole night trying to work out if I was being psychologically manipulated).
Desert island album: The Dark Side of the Moon, no debate.
Animal that best reflects me: Apparently a Jack Russell so a family member told me… high energy, likely to chase anything that’s moving, doesn’t switch off easily. Harsh but fair!
