Hi, I’m Xanine. I first began my journey into the world of therapy in the early 2000s. It all started after I suffered from my own sporting injuries as a sprinter. I had chronic lower back pain, muscle strains, and more. Avid in this sport for 25 years, I faced an abrupt ending to what I’d loved doing for so long.  

As I worked on my recovery, I realised I wanted to help others as well. I qualified as a physiotherapist, sports rehabilitator, sports masseuse, and Pilates instructor. Already familiar with the gym for all those hours as a sprinter, I drew from my extensive knowledge in weightlifting and powerlifting. 

My own injury recovery helped me to reach new heights. I now play netball in a local league to keep fit and strong, something I’ve done for the last 7 years. I knew that I needed to switch from sprinting to another sport where I could dictate the intensity I put into it. I’m proof that you can rehabilitate from injuries and enjoy being active again. 

My work experience includes NHS, military, sport injuries, occupational health, and private physiotherapy work for both athletes and the general public. Through my own personal experience as well as the experience I’ve gained through my profession, I have enhanced my clinical abilities as a physiotherapist.
