Dylan Woodhead said: "I use public transport when I have to, but I get from A to B much faster when I'm also using my skateboard.
"I have managed to cut as much as 15 minutes off some journey times and, unlike a bike, the board is small enough to take on public transport."
Dylan, who gained a Masters in Rehabilitation Science (Physiotherapy) at the university's School of Health Professions in Eastbourne, deals with balance issues with his patients in central London where he now works.
Dylan runs falls-prevention, strength and balance exercise groups and uses wobble boards and foam beams to combat the fear of falling.
He hasn't employed skateboards for his patients as yet but he sings the board's praises as he speeds round town: "I'm thinking of patenting myself as the 'Physio on Wheels'."
