As we all return to work and school this week, schedules are filling up and life is settling back into its usual rhythm.

With busy routines ahead, it’s easy to forget about joint health — but your hips and knees play a vital role in everything you do, from sitting at a desk and standing all day to walking, exercising, and keeping up with family life.

If you’re experiencing persistent knee or hip pain, stiffness, swelling, or changes in mobility, it’s important not to ignore these signs. Early assessment and proactive care can make a real difference in maintaining comfort, mobility, and independence.

As life returns to normal, remember to keep an eye on your joint health — it’s an investment in staying active for years to come.

Knowing a patient is back to living pain‑free, walking along the beach, and enjoying life again after hip replacement surgery – well, that’s what it’s all about.

It’s never just about the operation itself; it’s about helping patients get their freedom, confidence, and joy back.

Feeling very grateful for patients who trust me with such an important part of their journey.

When recovery goes so well, you become the family’s official, “Can you just lift that for me? ” person 💪🏻

But don't do it too soon after your surgery! Remember to follow your consultant's and physio's post-op advice 🎅🏻

Precision surgery.
Personal recovery.
Pain-free holidays.

There’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution to hip or knee pain, and here’s why ⬇️

When I meet a patient, I’m not just looking at an X-ray; I’m learning about their life, goals, and concerns.

That’s why every treatment plan is completely tailored. Everything from your pre-hab to your implant choice, because I believe that the best surgical outcomes happen when every detail is matched to your unique lifestyle.

I believe in precision, not templates 🙌🏻

Remember, small, consistent steps will always take you further than standing still 🙌🏻

When your hip sends a clear warning signal, ignoring it often leads to more inflammation and further joint damage ⬇️

The best way forward is to reduce the load and try gentle movements. Listening to your body is the first step, and scheduling a consultation if the pain persists is the most crucial second step.

I didn't become a hip and knee surgeon just to fix joints. It's more than just anatomy to me 🌿

My passion is seeing the transformation, the moment a patient realises they can finally walk without pain, play with their grandkids, or book that long-awaited holiday.

Your mobility isn't a medical problem; it's the key to your quality of life.

That's the part of the job I'm most passionate about

Seeing a patient 10 months post-op and completely pain-free is the ultimate success ⭐️

I always say it's about so much more than a new hip; it’s about getting back to the passions that make life worth living: long walks, cycling, swimming, and Parkrun! This is the absolute best kind of feedback to receive. Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏🏻
