I help adults who need help regaining or maintaining mobility and function due to any acute or chronic condition such as a stroke; surgery (knee and hip replacement for instance); any progressive or degenerative condition such as dementia, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's; cancer (whether it is curable or not) and brain tumours; palliative care or any (often age-related) health condition.

How I can help
I focus on functional rehabilitation which means assessing you as an individual, in your environment and based on your needs, and aiming to help you achieve everyday tasks or goals that matter to you.
This can range from prescribing exercises to gain strength and independence, to advising on practical solutions and equipment at home if needed.
