Ever since she was a small child, Laura Penhaul wanted to be a physiotherapist, and she has surely achieved her ambition and much more. After qualifying in 2004 she has worked at the trauma centre at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, designated as a centre of excellence. She has worked with the GB ski team, as well as the Paralympic ski and Paralympic summer sports teams. She specialises in sports injuries – tending to the ripped muscles of Ironman athletes and ultra marathon runners – and is also an expert on spinal cord injuries. A marathon runner herself, she is also full of excellent tips on fitness, endurance and nutrition to keep you on track and ward off injury.
