Joe graduated from Coventry University in 2022 with a First-Class degree in Physiotherapy. He began working within the NHS in a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist role, gaining experience in the assessment and rehabilitation of acute and chronic conditions, as well as elective and traumatic surgeries. Joe’s skills and knowledge have been widened through exposure to professional football, having also worked in physiotherapist roles at Coventry City F.C and Newcastle United Women’s FC.

Joe’s background is strongly linked with a passion for sport and performance, which he developed through a 6-year youth career at Nottingham Forest Football Club, and later a football scholarship in Florida, USA. Stemming from this, Joe now has keen interest in athletic performance testing within physiotherapy; a specialism facilitated by state-of-the-art technology available at JP Physio.

Joe’s aim is to facilitate people to perform and feel better in sport and in life. Since relocating from Derby to Newcastle, Joe enjoys spending free time trekking in the hills or by the coast. He is now happy to call the North-East home but feels the number 9 shirt at Real Madrid would still be considered and insists a late bid can’t be ruled out!
