I run NK Active, a dedicated MSK Rehab and Podiatry service, with a focus on getting results and putting research into practice. I have an interest in Plantar plate injuries, 3D gait analysis and MTSS. I published my research into MTSS in runners and want to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. I have been fortunate enough to be on the Salomon think tank, part of the 2012 Podiatric medical team at the Olympics. I am also a visiting lecturer at the University of Southampton.

I currently work in primary care alongside GP’s as a Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist/First Contact Physiotherapist and injection therapist primarily managing undiagnosed and undifferentiated musculoskeletal pathologies. Having worked across different specialities within the physiotherapy profession over the last 10 years, I’ve been privileged enough to work alongside some imminent and reputable physiotherapists which have all contributed to my clinical skill set and underpinning knowledge acquisition. Having a strong background in managing private clinics in central London and working for the NHS, it’s really helped develop this profound interest I now possess around exercise and its impact on the management of people with diabetes.
