I trained as a Physiotherapist at the Middlesex Hospital in London. My first jobs were in and around London where I gained experience in outpatients, neurology, orthopaedics, obstetrics and medical chest conditions. I then specialised in orthopaedics and outpatients.

I took a career break to raise my family, returning to Physiotherapy and retraining in 2012.

Within the Hereford NHS Trust, I worked in orthopaedics and outpatients where I specialised in rheumatology treating individuals, taking classes and liaising with consultants. During this time I trained in the treatment of pain with acupuncture, and self-management of pain.

I started working for Nuffield Health Hereford in January 2016 treating In patient Orthopaedic, Gynaecological and general surgical patients. I also treat outpatient joint replacement patients.

I manage the hydrotherapy service working closely with our Physiotherapy assistant in the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions which respond well to aquatic therapy.

After qualifying as a chartered physiotherapist, I gained a good grounding in a wide variety of physiotherapeutic areas of practice through the junior rotations at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.

My first senior position was working in an NHS outpatient Department treating musculoskeletal conditions and working in elderly care.

After moving to Herefordshire in 1991, I initially worked in palliative care at St. Michael’s Hospice, then moving into orthopaedic in and outpatient work within the private sector.

I developed a special interest in occupational health including work related hand and arm conditions and have worked with industry for the last 13 years treating these and other musculoskeletal conditions.

I now manage the physiotherapy department at Nuffield Health Hereford, working both managerially and clinically. I treat inpatients after surgical procedures such as joint replacement and outpatient musculoskeletal injuries.

I am also qualified to use Acupuncture as an additional tool in physiotherapy treatment.

Following qualification as a Chartered Physiotherapist I initially worked for 3 years at The Mineral Water Hospital in Bath specializing in Rheumatological diseases.

Since then I have worked in a variety of hospitals including London, Cambridge and travelling abroad to Canada, gaining experience in a wide range of conditions across inpatient and outpatient settings.

I moved to Hereford in 1993 and have since specialized in Musculo-skeletal rehabilitation, and can offer assistance with pain relief, strengthening, increased mobility and restoration of functional ability following injury, trauma or post op.

My particular interests are Pelvic girdle pain, Women’s Health and Vestibular rehabilitation. I am also qualified to treat pain with Acupuncture and am a member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists.

I currently work in both the NHS and The Nuffield Health Hereford Hospital.

After qualifying with an MSc Physiotherapy from King’s College, London, I worked in Gloucestershire Hospitals Trust, where I developed a broad knowledge base in a variety of physiotherapeutic settings. I became a senior physiotherapist in the musculoskeletal outpatients department where I also took the opportunity to specialise in hand therapy.

In 2011 I set up a private physiotherapy clinic, focussing primarily on musculoskeletal injuries as well as leisure and elite athletes. I am also a qualified chartered veterinary physiotherapist.

I joined the Nuffield Health Physiotherapy team in Hereford, initially as a bank physiotherapist in May 2011 before taking on a permanent position in the outpatients department in April 2014. I treat a variety of MSK problems including post-surgical, sports injuries, longstanding conditions and all aspects of acute and chronic injury rehabilitation. I am qualified to use acupuncture and since working here, I have developed a special interest in shoulder injuries and am working towards becoming more specialist in this area.
