Craven Complete - Physio And Rehab

Charted Physiotherapist with 18 year in practice, Personal Fitness Trainer, we can provide full injury and rehabilitation service.

I am a physiotherapist with over 10 years experiences, bringing with it a wealth of knowledge from time in the Royal Army Medical Corp, as well as from being a swimming teacher, sport therapist, level 2 triathlon coach and personal trainer. I also have qualifications in general and sports massage and nutrition. I have also recently qualified as a Reiki 2 therapist which supports my holistic approach to life; encompassing all of the biological, psychological and sociological approach.

Whilst my passion is Triathlon, I have competed at various levels in sports such as Rugby, Cross-country, Boxing and Rowing. The combined competitive background in these sports, as well as general interest in all sports, with a physiotherapy knowledge of biomechanics, gives a superb background for understanding the stresses felt by all sports people.

For the 'less' sporty, I also provide medical management for injuries from the point of 'OUCH' to the return back to full activity.

The assessment itself will look at a lot of things, from which, I will try to diagnose then provide a treatment plan. This plan may incorporate a review of your pain medication (including a letter to your doctor), but will include some hands on therapy as well as exercises. Our aim is not to see you as many times as possible, but to provide adequate treatment, with advice, to get you back on track, as quickly as possible, so you can self manage the final stage of therapy. for sports, this may involve some 'pitchside' therapy and rehab, and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and come and join you outside the clinic environment.

The holistic approach also enables me to coach with lifestyle factors that may affect our health and well being. Lifestyle coaching itself looks at not just the physical factors within life, but also the peripherals that try to control it. Manipulation of these, looking at time management, nutrition and relaxation techniques can itself have a huge impact on to the physical well-being in our life.

If your not able to come to the clinic, I do offer a home visit service, at an additional fee; but obviously some treatment may be limited with this.
