Trusted Physiotherapist in Cowan Bridge | Holistic Pain Relief
I am a qualified Chartered Physiotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience, registered under the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). My practice in Cowan Bridge serves clients from Kirkby Lonsdale, Bentham, Ingleton, and Settle, offering expert care in physiotherapy, Bowen Therapy, and Myofascial Therapy. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy from Sheffield Hallam University, qualified in 2004, and began my career in the NHS, specialising in Musculoskeletal Outpatients for seven years before transitioning to private practice. My research on low back pain, published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, underscores my commitment to evidence-based care. I have further trained in Bowen Therapy at the European College of Bowen Studies and Myofascial Therapy at FnF Myotherapy, ensuring a holistic approach to treatment.Regular attendance at professional development courses maintains my expertise in the latest techniques. Clients benefit from a tailored, integrated approach that addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term wellness. My practice provides a private, confidential environment where patients receive thorough assessments and treatments in comfortable surroundings. Initial consultations include a detailed history and physical evaluation, followed by a customised treatment plan. Follow-up sessions focus on sustained progress and prevention of recurrence. I pride myself on delivering efficient, effective care that prioritises patient comfort and outcomes.

Services
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy addresses stiffness, muscle imbalance, and stability to reduce discomfort and restore movement. It treats sports injuries, neck/back pain, and post-operative conditions through manual therapy, exercise therapy, and ergonomic advice. Sessions focus on preventing recurrence and promoting long-term wellness.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy uses gentle moves on fascia and connective tissue to send messages to the central nervous system. It reduces stress, realigns muscles, and promotes healing for conditions like arthritis, respiratory issues, and chronic fatigue. Safe for all ages, including newborns and the elderly.
Myofascial Therapy
Myofascial Therapy targets connective tissue restrictions to relieve pain and improve mobility. It addresses chronic pain, postural imbalances, and sports injuries through hands-on techniques. Combines with physiotherapy for enhanced recovery and prevention of recurring issues.
Sports Injuries Treatment
Specialised treatment for sports-related injuries including muscle strains, ligament sprains, and joint pain. Combines physiotherapy, Pilates, and core stability exercises to restore function, prevent re-injury, and enhance athletic performance through tailored rehabilitation plans.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Post-Operative Rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility and strength after surgery. Uses manual therapy, exercise programs, and ergonomic guidance to accelerate healing, reduce scar tissue, and ensure a safe return to daily activities or sports.
