PASSIONS
Peter particularly enjoys advanced sports injury rehabilitation and the management of chronic sports injuries which have failed to improve with other treatments.
Outside of work, Peter’s main passion is golf, which he took up only after ceasing work within the sport! Otherwise he is interested in ALL sports and is a real fan of the UFC having done several different martial arts. ”I would happily have 5 TV’s in the lounge, one for each Sky Sports channel.”
WHERE WOULD WE FIND PETER IN HIS SPARE TIME?
Well, probably playing golf if the weather is decent. If not, he will probably be cooking up some scheme to improve what we do!
