Early in my career I developed a special interest in hand therapy and am member of the British Association of Hand Therapy. Since 2001 I have lead the hand therapy service at the Wessex Hospital.

I have organised courses and presented to both national and local colleagues with Nuffield Health. I am able to provide acupuncture as a treatment for pain relief and find this particularly useful for conditions like tennis elbow.

My name is Duana Ferreira, I am a senior physiotherapist, with 12 years of knowledge in the Musculoskeletal area, and further completing an MSc in the Science of Rehabilitation in 2012. I am also a Pilates instructor with 8 years of experience of performing exercises on a mat and specialized equipment such as reformer, Pilates Ladder Barrel, Cadillac and Pilates chair.
