Podiatrist Clinical Director
Podiatrist Clinical Director
I’m the Clinical Director of NK Active and I have a passion for helping people and educating others about Podiatric Sports Medicine. I spend my weekends playing sports; I play a lot of hockey and I’m Captain of my local team, and I really enjoy squash and cycling. I’m also a husband and father to a growing family.
I practice what I preach and have followed an external programme of rehabilitation and strength conditioning following injuries that I have sustained through sport.
I graduated from the University of Northampton with a degree in Podiatry and started out in the NHS before progressing to private practice and running my own clinics. I’ve worked with athletes since graduating and I’ve gained a vast range of experience; treating patients who are recreational runners to elite athletes. I was a Sports Podiatrist at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as part of their 16-strong Podiatric Sports Medicine team and I’ve joined the Salomon think tank team as one of the 5 specialists from around the world.
I enjoy helping and educating runners, hikers and team sport players to be more in control of their training and activity. I have a particular interest in exercise induced leg pain and plantar plate injuries, and I’ve written various journal articles and presented lectures about those topics.
