Qualifications and Experience
Simon studied Physiotherapy at UWE, Bristol and graduated in 2011. Since then he has gained a vast amount of experience through working with a variety of patients across numerous clinical areas.

Passions
Apart from splitting work between Total therapy and the MOD, I spend most of my time with my family and young son, enjoying the excitement that comes with him growing up. Personally, I enjoy all sports, especially rugby union, cycling and disability sports (such as The Invictus Games) but my main passion is cricket, with which I play in the local Dorset league.
