Sue joined the physiotherapy teaching team in February 2024 and teaches across all the physiotherapy courses (MSc, BSc, and degree apprenticeships). Sue currently combines her academic role as a lecturer in physiotherapy with her ongoing clinical role leading a physiotherapy service that provides rehabilitation for adults with traumatic brain injuries and challenging behaviours.
Sue is a highly experienced physiotherapist with over 20 years of clinical and academic expertise in musculoskeletal (MSK) care and brain injury rehabilitation. Her specialist focus includes working with individuals who present with complex and challenging behaviours following traumatic brain injury.
Sue has also led the development of a dedicated physiotherapy service within a residential unit, pioneering approaches that integrate rehabilitation with behavioural support.
