In addition to her NHS, Private Practice and MOD roles, she has also maintained a strong interest in acute sports injuries. She was Lead Physiotherapist for her local amateur and regional academy rugby union club, providing pitch-side cover and injury management to both teams. These roles developed both her interest and expertise in managing sports injuries.
