Biography

I am a Professor of Rehabilitation at the University of Salford. My research mainly relates to developing and testing treatments for musculoskeletal pain conditions, including shoulder, elbow, and knee pain. I work collaboratively with colleagues nationally and internationally.

I have published over 120 peer-reviewed papers and have contributed over £7.5 million pounds of research grant capture, including almost £3 million as lead applicant. I was previously a member and then chair of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’s Scientific panel (2017 to 2022). In 2022 I was awarded an honorary fellowship of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy in recognition of my contribution to research and support for clinical-academic career development.
