Alex brings a wealth of experience to his role as a Senior Physiotherapist at Clifton Park Hospital, having previously played professional football, which gave him valuable insight into the physiotherapist's role in managing acute pain and guiding rehabilitation.
While studying Physiotherapy, Alex worked as an assistant in Trauma & Orthopaedics at York Hospital for several years, gaining hands-on experience in the field. He completed a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy Degree at York St John University in 2016 and subsequently undertook junior physiotherapist rotations at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, working across various specialties including Respiratory Medicine, Care of the Elderly, Orthopaedics, and Oncology.
Alex joined Clifton Park Hospital in May 2018 and has now been part of the team for over six and a half years. In his current role as Senior Inpatient Lead, he has developed a special interest in the enhanced recovery protocol following elective joint replacement surgery. He is deeply focused on ensuring patients receive the highest level of care, with the aim of helping them return to their home environment as safely and quickly as possible. Alex is committed to incorporating the NHS's "Getting It Right First Time" framework into the hospital’s protocols, optimising patient outcomes for short, safe, and comfortable stays.
Although Alex primarily works on the inpatient ward, he provides physiotherapy input for a variety of surgical procedures, including pre- and post-operative rehabilitation for hip and knee replacements, ACL reconstructions, meniscal repairs, Achilles tendon surgery, rotator cuff repairs, and ankle ligament reconstructions. His treatment approach is centered around the individual, aiming to empower patients to return to the activities they enjoy with renewed confidence and self-awareness.
For Alex, the most rewarding aspect of being a physiotherapist is receiving feedback from patients who are able to return to activities they had previously been unable to do—whether that’s looking after grandchildren, playing bowls, country walking, or even returning to competitive sports at any level.
