In addition to running my two clinics I teach Anatomy, Structural Diagnosis and Tui-Na (Chinese Medical Massage) at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading and run my own advanced courses in sports therapy for acupuncturists.I am also a trustee of the Arthritic Association and sit on BAcC PIC committee.
