I support older adults to restore, maintain or maximise their independence, physical function and mobility.

Physiotherapy may be helpful following a hospital stay, illness, surgery or injury, or when there has been a gradual decline in strength, balance or mobility.

I take a holistic look at how you move within your own home and how physical difficulties may be affecting everyday activities. I can identify barriers to independence and provide personalised advice around:

• Mobility and transfers

• Strength and balance

• Exercise

• Everyday activities

• Falls prevention

• Appropriate equipment and mobility aids

The aim is to find practical solutions that work for you, in the environment where you live, helping you remain active, safe and independent for as long as possible.

Recovering from surgery can be challenging, particularly when travelling to a clinic is difficult.

My post-operative physiotherapy service provides personalised rehabilitation in your own home, helping you safely rebuild strength, mobility and confidence.

I support recovery following a range of surgical procedures, including:

• Orthopaedic

• Spinal

• Abdominal

• Cardiac

• Vascular

• Thoracic

• General

Treatment is tailored to your individual recovery and, where appropriate, aligned with your surgeon's advice and rehabilitation protocols.

A fall can have a significant impact on confidence and independence. For some people, the fear of falling can become almost as limiting as the physical effects themselves.

My falls prevention service provides a comprehensive assessment of factors that may contribute to instability and falls.

I can develop personalised programmes to improve:

• Strength

• Balance

• Mobility

• Coordination

• Confidence

I can also provide advice about your home environment, mobility equipment and strategies to help you feel safer and more confident in everyday activities.

Breathlessness can be frightening and can make everyday activities feel more difficult. Respiratory physiotherapy can provide practical advice, education and strategies to help you understand and manage your symptoms.

I can provide personalised guidance around breathlessness management, breathing techniques, positioning, pacing and energy conservation, helping you feel more confident managing breathlessness during everyday activities.

Respiratory physiotherapy may be helpful for people living with conditions such as:

• COPD

• Heart failure

• Pulmonary fibrosis

• Bronchiectasis

• Asthma

• Following a chest infection or hospital admission

• Reduced mobility or deconditioning affecting exercise tolerance

The aim is to help you manage your symptoms, maintain your activity and maximise your independence in day-to-day life.

For people with restricted independent movement, effective postural management is an important part of maintaining comfort, function and physical wellbeing.

I provide assessment and advice for individuals with complex positioning and postural needs, helping to reduce the risk of complications such as:

• Joint stiffness

• Contractures

• Pain

• Pressure damage

• Reduced respiratory function

Good postural management often involves everyone around the individual. I can provide practical guidance and training for family members and carers to help ensure supportive positioning is maintained consistently throughout the day and night.

Neurological physiotherapy supports people living with conditions affecting the brain, nerves and spinal cord.

I provide personalised physiotherapy for people experiencing difficulties with movement, strength, coordination, balance or everyday activities.

This may include people living with:

• Stroke

• Parkinson's disease

• Multiple sclerosis

• Head injury

• Functional neurological disorder

• Other neurological conditions

Treatment is centred around your individual goals, abilities and rehabilitation potential, with the aim of improving physical function, independence and quality of life.
