When I established Movement Physiotherapy in 2012, I worked purely with children and young people. I remained partly employed and also found time to start a family of my own! Once I became fully self-employed in 2018, the opportunity arose for me to return to working with neurological adult clients. Working with individuals with long-term physical difficulties regardless of their age is challenging, but one which I find exciting, hugely motivating and rewarding.

Throughout my career I have engaged in extensive post-graduate training and ongoing CPD in order to provide the most effective physiotherapy input that I can, based wherever possible on a sound evidence base. Working as an independent practitioner allows me the freedom to use many and varied therapy techniques and management strategies, in order to create completely bespoke, highly specialised and effective therapy programmes for each individual client. I thrive on pushing boundaries and am almost always prepared to give something new a try! I remain forward thinking and dynamic in my methods of delivery, with the ultimate goal of helping each individual become the best version of themselves.

My aim:

I want to make sure that regardless of whether my client is old or young, that they have fun! Therapy is only effective when the individual is an active participant, so making tasks enjoyable is vital!
