MEET YOUR PHYSIO & COACH!

Hi! 

I’m Sarah, a Chartered Physiotherapist, Strength & Conditioning Coach and endurance coach, with over 15 years’ experience across physiotherapy, rehabilitation, sport and performance.

I currently work as the Lead Physiotherapist for Portsmouth FC Women, where I lead the medical provision for the women’s team and development of the new medical department. Working closely with the coaching, strength and conditioning teams, I support players throughout the full injury journey, from assessment and rehabilitation through to return to training and competition, alongside providing pitch-side medical care and supporting injury risk management. 

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy and an MSc in Rehabilitation, alongside qualifications and experience in strength and conditioning, sports massage and endurance coaching. Before becoming a physiotherapist, I spent 10 years as a commissioned officer in the Royal Air Force.

Since leaving the RAF, I have worked across the health, fitness and sporting sectors, including running my own training and sports massage business, coaching, teaching fitness qualifications and working within the NHS across acute, musculoskeletal and community settings.

I’m also an endurance athlete myself. I have represented the Royal Air Force and Great Britain at European and World Championships and have competed in Ironman and a range of endurance events over the past 25 years. I understand the demands of training and competition from both a professional and personal perspective, including the setbacks that injury can bring and the importance of a well-structured return to performance.

My approach

I believe optimal rehabilitation and training should be evidence-based, individualised and progressive, but also practical enough to fit around real life.

My approach combines physiotherapy, strength and conditioning and coaching to help you understand your injury or training needs, build confidence and make meaningful progress. Whether you are returning to exercise following injury, looking to improve your strength and fitness, preparing for an event or simply wanting to train more effectively, your programme will be tailored to you and your goals.

I offer both face-to-face and online support, allowing you to access professional guidance and structured programming wherever you are in your training journey.

My aim is simple: to give you the knowledge, support and confidence to move well, train effectively and perform at your best.

Sarah
