Biography: Qualification: B.Sc. (physio) 1989 at UOFS in South AfricaField of practice: Musculoskeletal physiotherapyMemberships: Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Sport and Exercise Medicine (ACPSEM), Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapy (AACP), Physio FirstI am passionately committed to working with clients to achieve their goals: I listen, I have a “hands-on” approach and I have a firm, evidence-based belief that exercise forms a vital part of recovery. I do, however, understand that not everyone enjoys exercise!My professional journey began in a state hospital in South Africa, after which I established a practice in a large university town. Relocating to the UK to work in the NHS for a few years came next, transitioning from there into private practice.  I have worked in various clinics in London as well as at Physio Vineyards.In my 30+ years of experience, I have honed my skills and continuously improved my knowledge. (Every day continues to be a learning day!) University rowing and rugby teams, a Dance and Physical Theatre Company, elite athletes, musicians, active professionals, teenagers, and retirees have all been part of my journey.An active lifestyle is integral to my personal life. I enjoy playing the piano, cycling, swimming, weight training and camping with my husband and our dog.

Biography: Qualification: B.Sc. (hons) degree in Physiotherapy from the Royal London HospitalField of practice: Musculoskeletal physiotherapy,  Vestibular RehabilitationMemberships: Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP),  Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP), Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Vestibular RehabilitationI qualified in 1986 with a BSc (Hons) degree in Physiotherapy from the Royal London Hospital. My career started in the NHS in London, after which I relocated to Vancouver Island, British Colombia.On return to the UK, I worked in various London Hospitals as an MSK physio, then on a hand injury unit and also in Hydrotherapy.Four years in Munich followed, working initially in a hospital and then a private practice where skiing injuries formed a large part of the patient base. (My German language skills also came in handy!)Back in the UK I brought all my previous experience to Physio Vineyards where I enjoy seeing a mixture of MSK patients as well as patients in need of vestibular rehab. As a complement to physiotherapy I also use acupuncture and Shockwave Therapy.I feel strongly that everyone should have access to physiotherapy, which is why, if you have a condition that prevents you from travelling, I undertake home visits for the clinic..My leisure time is filled with playing bridge, cycling, yoga, swimming (sometimes open water), camping, gardening and rescuing guinea pigs.

Biography: Qualification: Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Cum Laude) 2011 at University of Kwa-Zulu Natal in South AfricaField of practice: Musculoskeletal physiotherapyMemberships: Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP)I strive to see my patients as more than just their injuries.  Empathy, keeping an open mind and a passion for learning are key parts of my professional approach, helping to identify the root cause of pain and dysfunction, deliver an effective rehabilitation pathway, and provide the tools to help prevent future injuries.After qualifying, I spent a year doing community service before moving into private practice.  Sport has always been a central part of my life, and during this early part of my career, I thrived on the challenges associated with sports injuries and rehabilitation, and orthopaedic physio.  Professional guidance and further learning allowed me to build a solid foundation of experience, helping me to secure a senior role at Barnes Physiotherapy Practice in Hertford where I worked for 7 years, before joining Physio Vineyards.Training continues to be a key part of my professional life. Some specific courses that I have completed are dry needling, shockwave therapy, hypermobility, TMD (jaw pain), and running gait analysis. As well as courses covering rheumatology, the neck, the hip and groin and muscle energy techniques. I further supplemented my experience as a mum with perinatal (pre-, intra- and post- natal) training. I am committed to staying abreast of current literature and implementing evidence-based best practices.Away from the clinic, I enjoy time with my family and playing tennis, golf and hockey.
