My research interests sit across physical activity, persistent musculoskeletal pain, sports rehabilitation, injury prevention and healthcare education.
I am currently completing a PhD investigating relationships between physical activity and persistent musculoskeletal pain, alongside collaborative research across rehabilitation and health professions education.
