Also, consultative work for a number of professional football clubs and individual elite level sportspersons from a multitude of sports including archery, athletics, swimming, triathlon, sailing, boxing and martial arts. Specialist areas of clinical interest are the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries, specifically Patellofemoral joint pain and rehabilitation following knee surgery (principally ACL & PCL reconstruction). Current research interests include: assessment and treatment of lower limb motion control (proprioceptive) deficits; assessment and treatment of Patellofemoral joint pain; lower limb pathoneurodynamics and muscle injury. Lee has presented research and lectured on the topics of patellofemoral pain syndrome, exercise rehabilitation and assessment of movement dysfunction both nationally and internationally.
