About me

An independant private practioner with over 25 years of experience I completed my advanced practitioner MMACP qualification in 2003, a recognised standard of clinical excellence in musculoskeleletal physiotherapy.

I have worked in the NHS, abroad in New Zealand and in a variety of private practices and this experience together with extensive postgraduate education including pilates training with the APPI, use of acupuncture for pain relief and most recently pilates reformer training has provided me with clinical skills and expertise across a broad range of conditions.

These include back, pelvic and neck pain, upper and lower limb pain, sports injuries & running injuries and post op rehabilitation enabling my patients from all walks of life to reach their individual goals whether returning to work, sport or general activity.

Following a full assessment to establish the cause of the problem a combination of education, manual therapy including joint mobilisations and soft tissue therapy and individual home exercise programs are used.

I am a recognised specialist kids back 2 sport clinician, working with sporty children and adolescents, acknowledging that children cannot be treated as mini adults. They have injuries that require a specialist approach and bespoke approach to treatment and rehabilitation.

I believe that education of both the parent and child is important in avoiding and preventing recurrent injuries and facilitating a return to sport when safe and ready, allowing them to come back stronger and to be the best they can.

I work closely with GPs and Consultants and other health care professionals and am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council in order to ensure the best care for my patients.
