Summary
- My clinical practice is focused on musculoskeletal care, using radiographic and ultrasonographic guidance for directed tendon, joint and nerve interventions.
As a clinical rehabilitation scientist, I work to advance understanding of physical function, particularly for people with lower limb musculoskeletal disorders. Research that targets the mechanistic pathways for disease, impairments and functional limitations will enable clinicians to use rehabilitation strategies to reduce risk and severity of disease and disablement. My current research focusses on prevention and treatment of hip, knee and ankle disorders.
