Summary
I have a major research interest in the management of multiple sclerosis, an area I've been involved with for 14 years. My research focuses on how people with multiple sclerosis and their carers can adapt their lifestyles to maximise their strengths and abilities for daily living with this progressive and unpredictable condition and how health professionals can provide support. My other main interests lie in studying the disability caused by spinal pain, and its treatment in particular, as pain is experienced by people living with chronic back and neck problems.Responsibility
