What conditions do you treat? I have 18 years experience treating musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions, anything from rehabilitating broken bones and joint replacements to muscular injuries.

What are your specialist areas? I specialise in treating patients with musculoskeletal problems following cancer treatment. In particular in breast cancer, where I use my experience and knowledge to treat scarring, cording, myofascial tightness, muscle imbalance and the side effects of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and endocrine therapy. My approach is always holistic and I am well connected within the Bristol and North Somerset rehabilitation world, so If I think you'd be better off seeing a different clinician I am happy to recommend someone too!

What treatments do you use? This is very much guided by what we find during the assessment, your individual symptoms and your goals, however I often use a variety of treatments such as myofascial release, manual therapy, exercise prescription and scar massage.

What should I wear for the session? Something comfortable to move. Vest tops are good for shoulder assessments and shorts or loose trousers for knees. During the assessment and treatments I will need to see the area requiring physiotherapy but at all times I shall check you are comfortable with this. If you are having physio to your breast or arm pit area you might need to remove your bra but I shall keep the rest of you covered.

Can I bring someone with me? Yes, by all means, if you would feel more comfortable doing this, it is fine by me. I am unable to organise a chaperone service however there are private companies that can offer this if you wish.

Can I have treatment with a cancer diagnosis? Yes you can, I am a specialist cancer physiotherapist, I will adhere to all the necessary precautions and recommendations, however there may be some treatment I don't advise depending on what stage you are at.

How many sessions do I need? This depends on the issues requiring physiotherapy and your personal goals. I will often give you a little homework to do too, such as exercises and self massage. On average people needs 2-6 sessions.

Are you registered with medical insurance? I am currently a recognised physiotherapist with Aviva, AXA, Vitality Health and WPA. If claiming physiotherapy through your insurance, you will need to get approval from your insurer first and an authorisation code. You will need to give me both you membership number and authorisation code prior to your appointment and I will invoice the insurer directly. Depending on your cover, there is sometime a shortfall in the payment which you will be invoiced for.

How do I book? Please book online using the link below, payment for booking is made in advance online. If you are using medical insurance or through the Bosom Buddies scheme, please get in touch to book.

Do you have a cancellation policy? Please give 24 hours notice to change or cancel your appointment, no shows will be charged fully and less than 24 hours notice at 50% of the session price. This allows me to schedule my clinics and maintain my business, thank you for your understanding with this.
