Lamerton Physiotherapy Clinic

MCSP Member of HPC, AACP, Physio First, ACPAT, VN.

I qualified from Bristol Physiotherapy School, in 1990, after which I worked for the NHS, gaining valuable experience in many of the different Physiotherapy disciplines before specialising in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, in particular, neck and back pain, soft tissue, sports injuries and foot biomechanics. I have developed a busy private Physiotherapy Clinic over the past 21 years, which for the past twelve years has been based in Lamerton, near Tavistock, and now includes Lamerton and Tavistock Physiotherapy Clinics. Along side my human Physiotherapy interests I am a founding member of the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Animal Therapy and regularly treat horses and dogs for back and related problems. 

Post graduate studies have included a Diploma in Cyriax Orthopaedic Medicine, all levels of the McKenzie Back Care Institute, Muscle Energy Technique Seminars and a keen interest in the use of Pilates Exercise Therapy. I am a member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists.

I have over 18 years of physio experience, having worked in Australia, the USA, Nepal, and the UK. Since completing my training in Brisbane, Australia, I have gained a wealth of experience in a range of physical therapies, including all aspects of musculoskeletal manual therapy, acupuncture, Core stability and Pilates type exercise therapy.

I have a special interest in working in partnership with overweight & obese clients, enabling them to overcome their barriers to being more active. I am currently part of the Plymouth NHS Weight Management Team. 

I graduated from Plymouth University with a BSc (Hons)       degree in Physiotherapy in 2018 and additionally acquired an accredited ITEC diploma in Sport Massage. Since qualifying I have been working in musculoskeletal therapy in private     practice where I continue to grow my experience and skills.

As a physiotherapist I have a real interest in combining hands on  manual therapy with exercise and physical activity to help get each  patient to achieve the best results possible. I am  particularly interested in using a Cognitive Behavioural      Therapy (CBT)  approach in helping people to understand and manage their pain. I also have an interest in  acupuncture, Women’s Health and the use of Pilates Exercise Therapy.

Outside of work I enjoy getting out in our beautiful country side, including walking, wild swimming, kayaking and climbing.

When the weather is not so good I can always be found with a good book!
