Who am I?

I am the Founder and Lead Physiotherapist at Benji Physio, working primarily as an MSK Physiotherapy Consultant with a focus on complex and persistent conditions (Back, neck, shoulder, knee, hip and ankle/foot)

I specialise in managing more advanced presentations, including long-standing pain or injuries, such as sciatica, and cases that have not responded to previous treatment. I am often involved in providing second opinions and guiding patients who require a higher level of clinical reasoning and a more tailored rehabilitation strategy.

Alongside this, I have a strong interest in sports injuries—particularly those related to running—as well as pre- and post-operative rehabilitation. My work in this area focuses on combining precise diagnosis with structured, progressive loading strategies to ensure a safe and effective return to performance. I offer rehab programmes to help patienst recovered in guided framework.

My clinical approach is underpinned by extensive postgraduate training, including diplomas in Acupuncture, MDT McKenzie, Injection Therapy, and Orthopaedic Medicine. I have also worked within elite sport, including with the Scottish Rugby Union, and I am a certified World Rugby First Aid Instructor.

Beyond clinical practice, I am heavily involved in education and mentorship. I regularly support and develop physiotherapists within the clinic, supervise students on placement, and have previously taught at the Medical School at the University of St Andrews. I run training sessions for Fife GPs and ANPs and teach masterclasses to local gyms.

My focus is on delivering clear, expert-led care in more complex situations—combining experience, evidence-based practice, and structured rehabilitation to help you move beyond pain, restore confidence, and return to the activities that matter most.
