Education:

• Master in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Manchester Metropolitan University (2009–2012), awarded February 16, 2012

His research focuses on persistent pain, sensory discrimination training, lumbar mobilization, and injection therapy practices among UK physiotherapists. He explores both clinical interventions and community-level education strategies to improve pain management outcomes. His work emphasizes evidence-based practice and the translation of neuroscience into clinical settings.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in clinical physiotherapy research, particularly in musculoskeletal disorders and pain science. Articles span systematic reviews, cross-sectional surveys, and randomized controlled trials, reflecting methodological diversity and a commitment to high-quality evidence. Key themes include sensory processing in chronic pain, public education campaigns, and biomechanical responses to manual therapy.

Professional Leadership:

• Vice Chair - Professional Committee, Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (since June 2018)
