Built On Experience.

Created For The Community.

Shore Health Physio was founded on a simple belief:

Exceptional physio shouldn’t be reserved for elite athletes or exclusive postcodes.

After more than a decade working in physiotherapy, I found myself asking a simple question:

Why should exceptional healthcare only be available to a select few?

My career has taken me through some incredible environments. I completed my Physiotherapy degree and Master’s degree in Sports Medicine at the University of Nottingham before working in elite sport, including professional rugby and the British Sailing Team.

-

Along the way, I had the privilege of working alongside some of the country’s leading physiotherapists, surgeons, sports doctors, nutritionists and psychologists, helping athletes perform at the highest level and return from injury under immense pressure.

Since 2021, I have worked in private practice in Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge, treating everyone from office workers and busy parents to professional athletes, senior executives and high-profile individuals.

-

What I learnt throughout those experiences was surprisingly simple.

Successful rehabilitation is rarely about finding a miracle treatment or the latest trend.

It is about understanding the problem, making the right decisions at the right time, and having an experienced clinician guide the process from start to finish.

Too many people are left trying to navigate injuries alone. They spend months searching online, receiving conflicting advice, trying exercises that don’t work, and losing confidence in their body’s ability to recover.

-

I believe physiotherapy should be different.

Patients shouldn’t be left guessing.

They should have a clear diagnosis, a clear plan, and a healthcare professional who takes ownership of their case until they reach their goals.

-

In November 2025, my wife and I moved to Shoreham-by-Sea to build our family life on the coast and raise our son in a community we love. It was here that Shore Health Physio was born.

The vision Is simple: to bring the standards, expertise and attention to detail I had experienced in elite sport and central London private practice to the local community.

-

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with persistent pain, returning to sport or simply wanting to move with confidence again, you deserve expert guidance and a plan that makes sense.

At Shore Health Physio, my aim is simple: to provide the level of care that I would want for my own family.

Because exceptional physiotherapy shouldn’t be reserved for elite athletes or exclusive postcodes.

It should be available to everyone.
