Jonny graduated from Cardiff University with a 1st class Honours degree in Physiotherapy, and since then has been working in the musculoskeletal and sports sectors.
In 2017, Jonny joined St Joseph's Hospital and has subsequently developed a special interest in the lower limb, most notably the knee. He has completed a post graduate qualification in Acupuncture, and completed a Masters qualification in Sports Physiotherapy from the University of Bath in 2024.
Alongside his role at St Joseph’s Hospital, Jonny works for Welsh Athletics as part of the sports medicine team overseeing the care of the British and Welsh track and field athletes. These include Olympians and Paralympians who competed at the 2024 Paris games. He is also the Head of Medical Services for Hockey Wales where he oversees the medical provision for the performance and development pathways. Jonny was the physiotherapist for the Senior Women’s Welsh Hockey squad for 4 and a half years, travelling to numerous European and World Cup qualifying championships, and also the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022. Further to this, he also provide cover for other national governing bodies including GB Hockey, England Snowsports, Welsh Gymnastics, and Welsh Badminton.
In 2022 Jonny set up his own private physiotherapy business in Cardiff called PAWB Physiotherapy where he see a variety of different patients from a sporting and non-sporting background. Jonny sees a large percentage of acute knee injuries, chronic knee pain cases, and post operative clients who wish to return to a high level of function or sporting performance due to my clinical interest in this area. A large portion of my caseload involves both recreational and high-level runners, from ParkRun up to ultramarathon and ironman distances.
Jonny has previously worked for Dragons Rugby, as a soft tissue practitioner for Sport Wales (able-bodied and disabled athletes), and a host of other professional and semi-professional Rugby Union and League teams in South Wales. This wide-ranging experience has given me a depth of knowledge around acute management of injuries, and rehabilitation of these thereafter.

Jonny is a strong believer that exercise is the best form of medicine, and attends the gym and runs with his cocker spaniel on a regular basis. He has previously played rugby for many years and holds debentures at the Millennium Stadium, he was also a triathlete ‘back in the day’!
His main sporting passion is skiing and snowboarding and Jonnt tries to go to the French Alps for at least a couple of weeks per year.
Jonny enjoys cooking and previously worked as a private chef for clients in the UK and at their villas and chateaus abroad. He also ran an events catering company which stopped in 2020 to focus on my physiotherapy career, but still enjoys hosting dinner parties with his wife and getting the pots and pans out again from time to time!
