My Journey Into Injury Rehabilitation

From 2015 to 2022, I competed as an elite triathlete, finishing in the top 20 at several national events. Training often exceeded 30 hours a week, and with that came a number of injuries. My interest in injury rehab began during this time—through personal experience with recovery and the treatments that supported my return to sport.

In 2020, I began studying Sport and Exercise Therapy at Leeds Beckett University. It was an excellent foundation, giving me both academic knowledge and practical experience in injury assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation.

Experience Across Elite Sport and Private Practice

As part of my training, I worked with Sheffield Wednesday’s first team, gaining hands-on experience with a variety of injuries and treatment techniques. I also supported the England Women’s Rugby League team during their World Cup campaign—helping players recover between games and stay physically prepared throughout the tournament.

Since graduating, I’ve worked as the Sports Therapist for Barnsley Women’s First Team, provided care for athletes at Progress Wrestling, Loughborough University, Rotherham United Academy, and Matlock Town FC. These roles gave me exposure to a wide range of injuries and approaches across different sports.

I now work with Sheffield United Women’s team, supporting players from the first team through to the under-10s. My responsibilities include injury diagnosis, rehab planning, gym programming, and pitch-side first aid, all within a multi-disciplinary team.

In 2023, I opened a private clinic, currently based at Platinum Fitness & Therapy. I specialise in injury rehabilitation—working with clients to improve mobility, reduce pain, and perform at their best and regain confidence in their day-to-day movement.
