Ben qualified as a Physiotherapist from Sheffield Hallam University with First Class Honours and has since worked across a range of NHS services.
With a particular passion for upper limb injuries, Ben has worked within hand therapy, general outpatients and fracture clinic settings in the NHS. Ben enjoys supporting people in returning to sport and helping them continue to pursue their passions following injury.
An active individual throughout his life including hockey and downhill mountain biking, Ben developed a strong interest in climbing, in 2017 with a focus on competition climbing. After moving to Sheffield for university, this quickly evolved into a passion for outdoor bouldering. He has climbed at a high level, achieving multiple 8B ascents, including The Ace. Despite this, you can rarely catch him on a rope as he’s scared of heights!
