Please phone Julie on 07811 370 252 to discuss any injury if you have any concerns or are unsure if Physiotherapy will help.

Physiotherapy is not just for athletes with sports related injuries. Julie regularly sees patients from many walks of life including musicians, gardners, golfers, skiers, bikers, climbers.
Anyone suffering from pain or impairment which has been related to an accident, overuse from sports trauma to gardening strain can benefit from guided Physiotherapy.
Julie will treat any age of individual from Paediatric to the elderly.
Ultimately anyone can benefit from a session who is in pain, has lost function or confidence.

On your first appointment Julie will ask a number of questions regarding the nature of your injury, how it is affecting you personally and a bit about yourself as an individual.
