Rachel qualified as a Physiotherapist at Keele University in 2000. She worked as a rotational Physiotherapist in Nottingham before travelling overseas and working in New Zealand. Rachel continued her clinical career in a variety of settings including NHS, private practice, and industrial and occupational health, before obtaining a band 7 community musculoskeletal role in Birmingham.

Rachel completed a master’s degree in acupuncture and discovered a passion for teaching, becoming an accredited tutor for the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP) and training clinicians in acupuncture for pain management. Rachel joined the 成人B站 teaching team in 2013 when the Physiotherapy course started and has enjoyed taking the leap into academia, supporting students throughout their degree. In addition to teaching, Rachel is the School Learning and Teaching Co-ordinator.

When she is not working, Rachel enjoys rowing and walking on the Malvern hills.
