Matt completed a BSc in Human Biology before progressing onto a MSc Physiotherapy degree at the University of Birmingham and a PGCert Musculoskeletal Ultrasound degree at Brunel University. ​The completion of these degrees led to a strong interest in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy.

Matt has worked extensively within a large NHS trust, overseas in New Zealand and prior to joining Complete Physio, managing the physiotherapy department of a private North London hospital, focusing on orthopaedic and musculoskeletal injuries. This has allowed Matt to work with patients suffering from a mix of acute and chronic injury, chronic pain and also those requiring post orthopaedic rehabilitation. He has a particular special interest in the rehabilitation and return to sport of patients post ACL reconstruction as well as knee pain and shoulder pathologies.

Matt is qualified in musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound. This allows Matt to incorporate diagnostic ultrasound into his initial assessments and offer a comprehensive diagnosis and management plan for a number of different upper and lower limb injuries. He also works weekly within the radiology and imaging department of a large NHS teaching hospital completing diagnostic ultrasound clinics and liaising closely with Musculoskeletal Consultant Radiologists.
To achieve best outcomes with his patients, Matt uses a holistic, individual approach to treatment using multiple methods, with a particular focus on education, exercise-based rehabilitation and manual therapy. He also liaises closely with orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine doctors and other multidisciplinary members to provide the best care for his patients.

Outside of work, Matt is a keen rugby player and keeps his fitness up through functional strength training and running.
