Are you battling persistent muscle pain, tightness, weakness, limited mobility, back pain through a sudden or gradual onset, Arthritic pain, Pre or post surgery pain which is reducing your daily functional capacity or not allowing you to carry out your activities of daily living at all?.
Here at Dartmouth Physiotherapy and Sports injuries Clinic I've provided Musculoskeletal treatments, Sports massages, rehabilitation programs and advice about these issues to thousands of patients from the ages of 8 - 99 years of age over the past 29 years.
I've also diagnosed, treated and rehabilitated athletes during the 2012 Olympic and 2014 and 2022 Commonwealth games, Professional footballers at Plymouth Argyle 2000-2005 and Torquay United 2005-2006 and taught Sports massage and sports injuries and rehabilitation at college level 2006-8.

I've been fortunate to have learnt, trained, gained experience and worked with many well-known and talented healthcare professionals since 1996 from Physiotherapists, Sports Therapists to Physical Training instructors and Sports medicine Doctors locally, nationally and from around the world and provide this experience, expertise, advice and long term evidence based treatments to all my patients. .
