Initially working within a small team of sports therapists to provide training and match day cover across the club’s men’s, ladies, and academy teams. This consisted of assessing, diagnosing, and treating any injuries players may have attained, along with pitch side medical care. Following a successful first season and consequent promotion to Head of Injury Rehabilitation, additional management responsibilities were added to the role, including team admin, and the learning and development of the team to ensure consistent, high quality treatments were delivered.

Alongside the owner of a specialist high-end sports rehabilitation clinic, exceptional sports therapy services were provided to clients with a range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, including the use of treatment modalities that are rarely found in the UK. Often with a mixture of acute and chronic pain, patients would be worked with closely throughout diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Although often working independently with patients, the working environment was collaborative with the ability to learn from the experienced clinic owner, particularly with complex injuries or conditions. Occasional administrative tasks such as working the front desk, diary planning and remote business meetings were also had along with CPD sessions.
