Squash Player. PSA World Ranking No. 8, December 2014.

I had a hip arthroscopy in September, performed by Professor Fehily, after scans showed my squash career might be threatened by a Labral tear and some significant cartilage damage. I was looked after superbly by Prof Fehily and his team of anaesthetists and nurses. After a fairly downbeat initial prognosis from doctors Prof Fehily made me feel immediately more positive and comfortable. He allowed me to hope that I could play professional squash again and explained everything clearly in the run up and post-op, which I appreciated. 

Time will tell if I can reach the top in squash again, but I'm ten weeks post-op and the hip is showing great signs, and is moving well, thanks to Max and my Physio. I owe him and his team so much for taking care of me, and for being so professional. The procedure I had at Whalley Range was so comfortable and easy.
