Mark has an excellent understanding and proven track record of managing an interdisciplinary team and the rehabilitation process, including occupational therapists, speech therapists, neuropsychologists, dieticians, nurses, and rehabilitation consultants. Mark has experience working across a variety of health care settings in a lead role and is adept at tailoring the rehabilitation team with the client’s goals in a measurable way. He offers an evidence based, progressive and multi-faceted approach to rehab.

Mark graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2010 with a 1st Class (Hons) degree in Physiotherapy. He spent the following thirteen years working across the NHS and private sectors treating neurological in and outpatients before training as a case manager with CCM.

Mark’s ongoing motivation is to carry on this team approach to rehabilitation, integration with technology and functional rehabilitative approach with his clients. He has continued to offer this evidence based, progressive and multi-faceted approach to rehabilitation across the UK and abroad as necessary.

Mark is also experienced in accessing clients needing:

Adaptive equipment/wheelchair and seating assessment and provision

He has a particular interest in merging his love of the outdoors and adaptive sport instruction with his clients.

Whilst abroad, Mark set up New Zealand’s first funded adaptive sports service. He has developed a real passion for the ‘weird and wonderful’ or problems ‘in the too hard basket’ that require a bit of lateral thought. These may be spinal clients that have been told they “can’t swim in the sea again,” amputees that “can’t ride a mountain bike anymore” or brain-injured clients that “couldn’t possibly ski anymore.” This usually starts as a problem-solving exercise with the client, requiring an abstract solution, but a solution, nonetheless. Normally a modification of technique, mindset, and/or equipment, collaborating with the client to find the “ultimate goal” of what they really want to achieve since their world has changed its course from what they had planned.
