Research

Current projects

I am involved in collaborative studies focused on understanding female movement, injury risk and rehabilitation.

I collaborate with the Welsh Rugby Union, the Guinness PRO14 Rugby League and the Malta Football Association to identify priority injury problems and risk factors in professional rugby and football

Through a series of studies I am working with international partners to identify how to modify running gait for rehabilitation and characterise movement strategies using an injury perspective
