Services
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
I am a chartered physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with clients.
Physiotherapy Treatment aims to help settle symptoms fast, promote healing and restore normal movement and function of the body, as well as educating on preventative measures to ensure long term results / to avoid recurrence of your issue.
Every client I see is treated as an individual case and my treatment method is specific to their needs and their personal goals.
I use a wide range of evidence based manual techniques combined with exercise rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is a specialised component of physio which helps clients regain better/normal function after an injury or operation. Allowing them to return to their normal daily duties, activities or sport. Rehabilitation can include a personal exercise program and clinical Pilates.
I have extensive experience treating conditions which include injuries, post surgery, joint or spinal problems, neurological conditions, oncology, lymphoedema, postural dysfunction.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage - MLD
Is a special form of massage used to aid the drainage of lymph. I trained with Jane Wigg in the flush and flow technique and am a member of MLDUK.
MLD IS Used for conditions such as lymphoedema (both primary and secondary) and post surgical procedures.
If MLD is going to help, you will see improvements After your first session.
With some forms of lymphoedema it is advised that you wear compression garments in order to maintain improvements gains during our sessions. It may also be worth looking into other lifestyle factors that can contribute to worsening lymphoedema such as diet and exercise.
Without an initial assessment, it is not always possible to say how many treatments a client will require. A general idea is:
Post breast cancer upper limb lymphoedema: up to 4 x a week for 1-2 weeks then up to 2 x a week for a further 1-2 weeks before weaning off and self managing.
Post surgery eg vaser: your surgeon will normally recommend the number of sessions but it can be every day or every other day for 1-2 weeks
Prices
£155 for an initial assessment (up to 60 minutes)
£190 for a 60 minute follow up
£155 for a 45 minute follow up
Reformer Clinical Pilates
Clinical pilates is a form of exercise which combines tradition Pilates style exercises with Physiotherapy assessment and clinical expertise, in order to deliver a personalised program plan for the client’s specific needs. I trained through APPI and have worked with many of London’s top clinical pilates physios over the years to refine my skills.
Clinical Pilates is a great form of exercise for any one but works particularly well for those recovering from surgery or an injury, during and after pregnancy, or for client’s who wish to get their body’s more resilient in order to avoid injury.
It promotes body stability, strength and flexibility and improves client’s body control and awareness.
Some clients come for clinical Pilates sessions once a week for maintenance, others come twice a week for 4-6 weeks in order to gain improvements and return to sport. Every one is individual when it comes to how many sessions they want to do and how often.
All reformer sessions are 1:1
Prices:
30 mins - £70
45 mins - £85
60 mins - £110
Cancer Rehabilitation
Cancer rehabilitation programs aim to reduce the effects of the disease and the treatments individual's undergo. It is designed to help improve quality of life, functional ability and sense of well being. Having sessions with a certified cancer rehab physio gives individuals the best chance of improving treatment outcomes and success. Cancer rehabilitation is suitable for individuals diagnosed with any type of cancer at any age and after any type of treatment or surgery. In some instances I may need approval from a client's medical team prior to them commencing exercise with me.
Programs provide individualised rehab to individuals, at any stage of their diagnosis, treatment or recovery. As a physio I support and guide clients through their recovery process.
Participating in a rehab program can:
- Reduce pain
- Improve strength
- Improve mobility
- Optimise recovery
- Boost energy levels
- Encourage efficient and correct breathing patterns.
- Improve mental wellbeing
- Reduce negative side effects of treatment
- Encourage a change of focus from illness/patient to wellness/individual
After a full subjective and objective assessment I will create a rehabilitation program specific to your needs.
Pricing and sessions tailored to individual needs
Generally the initial lasts up to 1 hour and is £155
Pinc and Steel Foundation Exercise Class
I run a course of 6 classes at a local west London venue through the Pinc and Steel Foundation. These classes are fully funded by the foundation which means people with a cancer diagnosis can apply to attend a course at no cost.
