I graduated as a Chartered Physiotherapist from Essex University having worked as a Physiotherapy Assistant alongside my degree for adults and children with neurological conditions both in care homes and their home environments. 

Before opening The Herts and Essex Therapy Clinic I worked both in private practice and the NHS as a musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapist, gaining a broad experience in sports and musculoskeletal injury treatment and prevention of all age groups as well as orthopaedic and post-operative rehabilitation.

Through my years of experience and being keen to maintain health and fitness i have gained a strong interest in Sports Injuries, Spinal Dysfunction, Tendinopathies, Acupuncture, IMS Needling, Shockwave Therapy, The Graston Technique and Strength and Condition based rehabilitation.

Since qualifying I have undertaken a variety of post graduate training; including Spinal Manipulation, Kinesio and Traditional Taping, Acupuncture, Shockwave Therapy and Sports Massage. 

I have been privileged to work and learn alongside talented and renowned physiotherapists within the sporting industry from Football, F1, Olympic Snowboaring, Hockey, Swimming to British Boxing.

I graduated as a chartered physiotherapist from the University of Hertfordshire in 1997. Before opening the Herts & Essex therapy clinic I worked extensively in an acute hospital setting gaining a wide knowledge base in intensive care, medical, surgical, orthopaedics, outpatients, elderly rehabilitation and on paediatric wards.

I then specialised in paediatrics working for several years in children’s centres, specialist centres for children with physical disabilities in both mainstream and special schools and in the community. Whilst working for the NHS I also worked in private practice for Spire healthcare, independently treating children and adults with neurological conditions and also working with older people in care homes and their home environment

Through my years of experience I have gained a strong interest in all aspects of Paediatrics but especially in Cerebral palsy and developmental delay. A large proportion of children and adults that I treat are case managed following litigation for problems around the time of birth or acquired brain injury.

I also have a special interest in the treatment of adults with cerebral palsy, upper limb rehabilitation in Stroke patients, elderly rehabilitation and Guillan Barre syndrome.

Since qualifying I have undertaken a variety of post graduate training: including Bobath treatment technique, saeboflex, conductive education, GMFM & Outcome measures, Hydrotherapy etc.

Since graduating in 2012 I have been working primarily in cardio and neuro rehabilitation before joining the Herts and Essex Therapy Clinic 3 years ago. Previous to becoming a physio I worked in the fitness industry for over 15 years as a health club manager, personal trainer and group fitness instructor.

My interest in physiotherapy began after finishing a Pilates course and began receiving physiotherapy referrals for all kinds of core/joint instabilities. I greatly enjoyed helping people by working with them to make the corrections they needed to improve their weaknesses/pain. Which, is what led me wanting to go back to university so I would be equipped to do even more for people than just teach exercises…and I haven’t look back since!

I work as a physiotherapy assistant carrying out programmes set by our physiotherapy team, working with both children and adults. My experience prior to becoming an assistant was working as a nanny with children of all ages and I am a busy mum to 3 children.

I suffered with a chronic autoimmune disease called psoriasis for 25 years and was told that there was no cure, I tried everything the medical profession had and it appeared that they were right as nothing made very much difference, until I took matters into my own hands, did lots of research and healed myself with food! After this I decided to get qualified so that I could help others. I studied for 3 years at The College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) and qualified as a Naturopathic Nutritionist. It has been my absolute honour and privilege to see my clients recover from serious disease and turn their lives around as I did.

I graduated from Staffordshire University having studied BSc (hons) Sports Therapy. Alongside my 3-year degree, I had the opportunity to gain a vast amount of invaluable experience within professional and semi-professional football and clinical-based settings (including here at The Herts and Essex Therapy Clinic). I am also currently studying for a second degree, this time in Physiotherapy at the University of Essex.

Having the title of a ‘Sports Therapist’ can sometimes confuse many people and it doesn’t always mean that we can only treat ‘sports injuries’. Sports Therapists’ do specialise in ‘sports injuries’, however we aim to treat all varieties of musculoskeletal aches and pains not necessarily gained through playing sport.

Some of the conditions I can help you with include neck pain, frozen shoulder, tennis and golfers elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back pain, sciatica, hip and groin pain, knee injuries, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies, ligament sprains and muscular strains.

The treatment you may receive will differ depending on your injury, however the services I can provide you are Sports/Soft Tissue Massage, Spinal and Joint Mobilisations, Medical Acupuncture (Dry Needling), Interferential Therapy, Therapeutic Ultrasound, Shockwave Therapy, Kinesiology Taping and Rehabilitation/Exercise Prescription.

I graduated as a Chartered Physiotherapist from Keele University in 2010.

I have worked in NHS hospitals as a specialist respiratory physiotherapist, gaining a broad experience in the assessment and treatment of many respiratory conditions including Cystic Fibrosis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Bronchiectasis, Hyperventilation Syndrome and Interstitial Lung Disease. I am also a physiotherapist teaching modified Pilates and can offer 1:1 or small group sessions.

I have a special interest in the treatment of adults with Cystic Fibrosis, Bronchiectasis and dysfunctional breathing.

Since qualifying I have also completed a postgraduate diploma in Advanced Cardiorespiratory Studies at University College London.

I have been privileged to work and learn alongside specialist physiotherapists and medical teams within the Cardiorespiratory field.

I qualified as an Orthotist in 1981 from Salford University.
Over many years since i have worked with a diverse range of conditions & age groups covering a large range of different orthosis such as:

Specialist areas include paediatrics, footwear & AFO design & production. I offer a friendly professional orthotic assessment & orthotic production & provision of the highest quality.
