My background is in primary care physiotherapy, most commonly working with musculoskeletal conditions. My postgraduate training was primarily in orthopaedic manual therapy.
Research
Recent work in concussion has explored how the neck contributes to persistent symptoms post concussion, and highlighted how physiotherapists are well placed to evaluate and address this problem. Related current work aims to improve New Zealand concussion services through clinical research partnerships.
