Physiotherapy

Jane is a dedicated physiotherapist with an energetic and empathetic approach to healing.

 

Skilled in addressing a wide range of issues, from sports injuries, back pain and post natal to geriatrics, she combines her postgraduate diploma and MMACP training to enhance her physiotherapy and clinical reasoning skills.

 

With valuable experience working with athletes in the UK and Australia, Jane is passionate about rehabilitation, prehabilitation, and helping individuals through movement analysis and exercise.

 

As a qualified physiotherapist since 1995 and a Pilates instructor for 20+ years, she specialises in rehabilitating clients with chronic back pain and those facing musculoskeletal challenges.

​

Jane attained a BSc(hons) in Physiotherapy, a Post Grad in Manual Therapy (MMACP), trained with APPI for her Pilates qualifications and is a member of the AACP (Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists). 

Alan is a highly experienced physiotherapist with nearly 30 years of expertise in musculoskeletal care. His journey began with qualifications as a gym instructor and massage therapist before graduating with honours from the University of Birmingham in 1997. Since then, he has worked across a diverse range of settings, including the NHS, private practice, and elite sports—most notably as part of Team England’s medical team at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. A former international athlete himself, Alan understands the demands of high-performance sport firsthand.

 

Over the years, Alan has studied and integrated a wide range of treatment techniques, developing a unique approach that blends traditional hands-on physiotherapy with targeted exercise prescription. He also incorporates elements of osteopathy and acupuncture to provide a more holistic treatment experience.

 

Alan believes physiotherapy should go beyond simply handing out exercise sheets. He explains, ”It is a shame that a lot of people have come to associate physiotherapy with merely receiving a lengthy sheet of home exercises to do.  My approach is very different and, while exercises are an important part of physiotherapy, I provide specialist manual therapy combined with realistic, specific and tailored exercises which are more effective and give better, faster results.”

 

Specialising in all musculoskeletal disorders, Alan has a particular interest in spinal conditions, knee issues, and sports injuries.
