Blue Sky Physiotherapy - Ashton.

I have been 32 years qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist and later gained a post graduate MSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine. I have worked in NZ and the UK primarily in musculoskeletal outpatients. I was lead physiotherapist for Bristol Bears Rugby for 6 years and contracted with England Rugby for 2 years prior to the 2003 World Cup. I started my own practice in 2007 and over the last 16 years have build up a multidisciplinary clinic over 4 locations. I was a lecturer on the MSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine in Cardiff from 2004-2018 and now offer education in primary care to GP groups. I trained with CCMI in 2018 and now help to promote and build the network in the UK
