I became Superintendent Physiotherapist in 1996. I have completed a number of post-graduate courses, including the Basic and Advanced Bobath courses, and I undertook a Masters Degree in Neurorehabilitation at Brunel University. From 1999 to 2012 I was a clinical specialist on the Neuro out patient department at The Royal Berkshire Hospital both as a clinician and a teacher to other physiotherapists. I have trained in the in the Sarah Key Method, which treats spinal pain and dysfunction and I have also attained qualifications in Acupuncture and Hydrotherapy. I also have experience in the use of Functional Electrical Stimulation and received training on the use of Saeboflex orthotics. Part of my role involves treating patients in their own homes where necessary to support them to reach their full potential.
