Pete qualified from Keele University in 1999 with First class honours in Physiotherapy studies.  His career began working for the North Bristol NHS Trust where he specialized in the treatment of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal injuries.  In 2001 he took up post at the BUPA hospital Bristol where he was employed as a senior physiotherapist, later progressing to physio team leader and ultimately Physiotherapy Manager.

In June 2004 Pete established himself as an independent private physiotherapist working in a variety of settings.  Pete continued to work as a Senior Physiotherapist at the BUPA Hospital at the hospital managers’ request until June 2005 where he was approached by the orthopaedic surgeon Mr Jonathan Webb (the former Bath, Bristol and England Rugby player) to work as a Physiotherapy Clinical Specialist within his clinic, also based at the BUPA Hospital.  

Pete now splits his time between his own practice “The Physio Clinic” within Riverside Leisure Club, on the edge of Bradley Stoke and the Jonathan Webb Clinic.  His case load is varied from the assessment and treatment of elite, international sportsmen and women including Bristol and Gloucester Rugby Club players; to the recreational gym user with back pain or the long standing sufferer of arthritis following a hip or knee joint replacement. 

Pete is a highly skilled professional specialising in the accurate diagnosis of patients’ problems through systematic questioning, hands on assessment techniques, computerized assessment tools and most importantly the overall biomechanics of the individual.

In addition to his Physiotherapy qualification, Pete has a second degree in Sports Science and Biomechanics.

Pete’s main areas of expertise therefore centre’s around conditions which involve adverse biomechanics and muscle imbalance such as:

	Running or activity related knee and lower limb pain
	Mechanical low back pain
	Shoulder impingement syndrome.
	Posture and ergonomic assessment

Furthermore due to his several years experience working alongside many of Bristol’s Orthopaedic Surgeons, Pete is a specialist in the pre-surgical assessment of and post-op rehabilitation of orthopaedic surgery including:

	Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction of the knee
	Subacromial decompression of the shoulder & rotator cuff repairs
	Menisectomy and knee cartilage procedures
	Joint replacements – e.g. Knee, Hip or Ankle
	Spinal surgery – e.g. Lumbar Microdiscectomy
