About
Physiotherapy that doesn’t keep you waiting.
Why Prestige Physiotherapy was founded, the journey behind it, and what makes us different.
Why Prestige Physiotherapy exists
Founded to close the gap between needing help and getting it.
Working on NHS wards and in outpatient clinics, I saw the same story again and again: people in pain, placed on waiting lists for weeks or even months, and often getting worse before their first appointment.
Prestige Physiotherapy was set up to change that for people across Chichester and West Sussex. You’re seen quickly, by the same physiotherapist each time, in whichever way suits you best — in clinic, at home, or virtually.
The aim is simple: hospital-quality care, built around you rather than a waiting list.

My journey
From the NHS wards to your front room
Football was the starting point. Playing competitively, and now at county level, gave me a fascination with how the body moves, how it breaks down, and how it comes back stronger. That interest led me to study Sports and Exercise Science at Chichester College, and then physiotherapy at the University of Chichester, where I graduated with a 2:1 BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy.
Alongside my studies and since graduating, I’ve worked within NHS physiotherapy teams in hospitals across West Sussex. That has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of patients and conditions, from orthopaedic and neurological rehabilitation to respiratory and cardiac care, as well as supporting people through their recovery from hospital all the way back home.
I have a particular interest in running and football injuries — from hamstring and calf strains to knee, ankle and overuse problems — and in managing lower back pain. Whether you’re training for your next race, working your way back onto the pitch, or simply want to get through the day without your back aching, I’ll build a plan around the goals that matter to you.
The NHS taught me to be thorough, to listen, and to treat the whole person. Prestige Physiotherapy brings that same standard of care directly to you — without the wait.
Giving back
Caring for the community I grew up in
Chichester and West Sussex is home. It’s where I grew up, where I learned to play sport, and where I trained. Prestige Physiotherapy is my way of giving something back to the people and clubs that shaped me.
Away from the clinic, I also work pitchside for local sports clubs.
