Sherrie Choy

Sherrie Choy serves as Placement Lead and Part-Time Lecturer in Physiotherapy at the University of St Mark and St John's School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation. With over 20 years of clinical experience spanning Hong Kong and UK healthcare systems—including roles at Derriford Hospital and NHS rapid response teams—she integrates active private practice with academic responsibilities while pursuing doctoral research on post-cataract surgery vision and balance changes.

Her qualifications include:

• PGCE in Higher Education (Fellow of Higher Education Academy)
• MSc in Exercise Science
• BSc in Physiotherapy
• Foundation Certificate in Acupuncture (AACP UK)
• Physiotherapy registration with HCPC (UK), Hong Kong Board, and AHPRA (Australia)

Choy's research examines vision science, balance/fall prevention, and evidence-based clinical approaches, currently focusing on intraocular lens impacts on dynamic balance. Her clinical specialties in acupuncture, pulmonary rehabilitation, musculoskeletal therapy, and Clinical Pilates directly inform teaching across physiotherapy, osteopathy, and sport rehabilitation programs.

Publications reveal consistent biomechanics expertise (2016-2017 shoulder/lumbar studies) and pulmonary rehabilitation foundations (2008 COPD research), demonstrating translational work from clinical practice to academic inquiry across multiple rehabilitation specialties.

Professional recognition includes:

• Fellow of the Higher Education Academy

As Placement Lead, Choy developed the Integrated Masters in Physiotherapy (MPhysio) and supervises undergraduate/postgraduate dissertations while teaching anatomy, physiology, and manual therapy modules. She serves as personal development tutor and coordinates clinical placements across physiotherapy, osteopathic medicine, sport therapy, and rehabilitation programs.

Her dual academic-clinical engagement through private practice and British Lung Foundation registration ensures curriculum relevance to contemporary healthcare demands, with current PhD work poised to expand vision-rehabilitation research frontiers.
