Experience

I qualified from The University of Ulster as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 1978.

Post qualification, I worked in the Royal Victoria Hospital for 3 years and then a further 7 years in Musgrave Park Hospital prior to setting up in private practice in 1987.

Since then, I have built a busy and diverse physiotherapy practice specialising in a wide variety of treatments.

My special interests are the treatment of musculo skeletal disorders, including sports injuries and occupational health.

I have treated individuals from new-born through to the very elderly, where injury levels have varied from minor to major trauma. Treatment and advice has been given to elite/representative athletes in the fields of rugby, gaelic, football, hockey, tennis, squash, rowing, swimming and athletics. I have been involved in the full rehabilitation of these sports-people.

I also hold contracts with a number of corporate companies, providing physiotherapy services as a member of their occupational health team. This includes treatment of staff, advice regarding healthcare in the workplace, best ergonomic practice and workplace and risk assessment.
