About Me

Two Languages. One Mission.

I'm a UK-trained MSK physiotherapist fluent in both English and Portuguese. My dual-language platform, Dual Motion Physio, was born from a simple belief: world-class physiotherapy education should be accessible to everyone — regardless of language.

With an MSc from Manchester Metropolitan University, a BSc in Sport Rehabilitation from Salford, and 8 years on the touchline of semi-professional rugby, I bring both academic rigour and real-world clinical experience to every course and consultation.
