Curtis worked as a physiotherapy assistant at the RJAH for over 7 years.

During this time he gained considerable experience working with patients, both individually and in groups or classes, on dry land and in the hydrotherapy pool.

In 2016 Curtis took up a post at The Movement Centre, a charity which provides specialist therapy for children with movement control problems. He is currently their resident fundraising and marketing officer.

As a qualified swimming teacher Curtis has played a pivotal part in the running of the hydrotherapy service for Borders Physio and Sports Injury Centre.

This is based at the hydrotherapy pool at RJAH. In addition, his tech-savvy experience supports the Borders social media presence.

In his spare time Curtis is a keen runner, having taken part in numerous marathons and challenge events, he teaches swimming at the local leisure centre, and he loves to cook.
