Whilst there are many things I now question that I was taught at University, this will always hold true.

I’ll always remember being told that if you don’t do a good job with your subjective assessment it is very difficult to find the right patient diagnosis…

Everything I do now is a million miles away from what I did when I first graduated back in 2010…

Lower back injuries can worry you as a therapist.

Injuries in this area can be challenging and if not managed well you can easily flare up patient symptoms…

If there is one joint I get the most questions on it is the shoulder.

Things like…

You give your patient the exercises to help them get better…

From the outset my new grad journey might look like a dream…

Gaining my dream job as the Head Physio at the Leeds Rhinos less than 15 months after graduating…

Do you do your NHS rotations?

Go straight into private practice…

Or try get your foot in the door sport straight away?
