I am a specialist physiotherapist who has extensive experience working in adult neurorehabilitation. I have been qualified for 25 years and have worked in a variety of different NHS settings including two large teaching hospitals, a rehab unit and in the community. In May 2017 I set up private practice and now solely manage my physiotherapy and Pilates service.
In 2004 I began to specialise in neuro-physiotherapy and I have treated a range of clients with complex neurological conditions including Traumatic Brain injury, Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke. I have held a number of senior clinical positions throughout my career, with my most recent post working as a specialist physiotherapist for a community stroke and neuro team.
I am passionate about providing evidence based practice and have attended a number of post graduate courses to expand my skills. I have completed my Pilates training with the APPI and able to teach Pilates to an advanced level. I practice Pilates myself and have been amazed by the difference the discipline has made to my own posture, strength and body awareness. I often combine physiotherapy with Pilates and enjoy modifying the exercises to keep it interesting and accessible for anyone.
