Working background:

Hayley started her physio career at Birmingham Royal Ballet, touring with the company and gaining unique experience in managing high-level dance and sports injuries. She continues to occasionally work for the company.

She then relocated to London’s Imperial College NHS Trust and gained invaluable skills whilst completing rotations through various specialities. Alongside this, Hayley also worked for two private companies and volunteered at numerous sporting events / organisations including London Marathon and England Disabled Cricket.

Before finally settling in London & joining Six Physio Monument, where she specialises as a rehab physio and runs Pilates classes, Hayley jetted off to work a ski season in Meribel, France; further enhancing her sports assessment and rehab skills. She was fortunate to trade physio treatment for skiing technique tips with some team GB skiers.

Hayley prides herself on educating her patients to understand, best manage and prevent their injuries. Whether it’s a specific sport, challenge or hobby, she will go over and above to help you to get back to it.

Your almost most-outstanding achievement:

I was almost knocked off my road bike by David Beckham – completely my fault. I got a little speed-happy on my new bike approaching a junction and hadn’t quite mastered how to use the newly located brakes. He giggled and gave way, cringe!

What would you cook if I came round for dinner?

A homemade three-course meal. Starter: antipasti. Main course: hand-caught salmon with mounds of roasted vegetables. Dessert: a show-stopping cheesecake

Where should we go on holiday?

Somewhere that neither of us have been before to explore. Russia anyone?

If you could take one thing into space, what would it be:

Unlimited peanut butter (crunchy Pip & Nut to be specific)

What’s the one thing you haven’t confessed to your parents?

Aged 17: When I said I found that dent in my new car… I actually reversed it into a concrete bollard whilst distracted singing to the radio. Sorry!
