I am a physiotherapist with many years of experience in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and persistent pain management.
I understand that pain is complex and influenced by many factors, including the body, nervous system, lifestyle, emotions and daily life. I work with you to understand your situation and how pain is affecting your movement, confidence, work and everyday activities. Together, we set clear, meaningful goals and develop practical strategies to help you get back to what matters most. Assessment involves listening carefully, a physical examination and up-to date pain science.
Your treatment plan is tailored to you and may include hands-on physiotherapy, guided movement and strength work, education, pacing strategies, self-management tools and support to build confidence over time.I have a special interest in persistent pain, including neck and back pain, headaches, osteoarthritis, hypermobility and cancer rehabilitation, as well as more complex recovery journeys.
My focus is to help you understand your condition, trust your body again and keep moving forward, even when setbacks happen. As part of the Pain Collective team, I work closely with doctors, psychologists, occupational therapists and other health professionals to ensure your care is coordinated and evidence-based.Recovery is not about a quick fix. It is about building understanding, confidence and capability one step at a time.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR SESSION
Before your first appointment, you will receive two forms to complete on your phone. The first collects your personal and medical funder information. The second gives you an opportunity to tell me about yourself, your pain or health concern, and its history. Completing these beforehand allows us to use our time together to focus on what matters to you. Your first appointment is approximately one hour. There will be time for you to share your pain journey, discuss your concerns and what you would like to be able to do. A physical examination will be included where appropriate and will be guided by your individual situation. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily and, where necessary, allows the area being assessed to be examined.My fees are charged according to your medical funder’s scale of benefits. Credit card facilities are available if required. Sessions are 45 mins.
