RaFitness
(Rehabilitation and Fitness)
I am a BSc Sports Rehabilitator and Strength & Conditioning Coach with a clinical approach that combines rehabilitation and performance training. My aim is not only to help clients recover from injury, but to improve movement quality, restore physical capacity, and reduce the risk of future setbacks.
Alongside private practice through RaFitness, I also work on behalf of Official Sports Services within elite sport, currently supporting Manchester United Women’s First Team. My experience includes rehabilitation support, soft tissue therapy, return-to-play progressions, and integrating strength work within performance environments.
Whether working with athletes or active individuals, my focus remains the same: evidence-based treatment, progressive rehabilitation, and long-term physical resilience.
At RaFitness, rehabilitation is not just about reducing pain. It is about restoring movement, rebuilding strength, improving resilience, and helping you return to sport, training, work, and everyday life with confidence.
