Glamorgan & Gwent Physiotherapy Cardiff

Glamorgan & Gwent Physiotherapy – Cardiff

About Me

I am a Chartered Physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience. I am registered with the Health Professional Council (HPC), the Physiotherapy Pain Association (PPA), and the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Occupational Health and Ergonomics (ACPOHE). My journey began with a psychology degree from Sussex University. I then worked in rehabilitation before earning my physiotherapy degree from the University of Hertfordshire.

I hold postgraduate training in cognitive behavioural therapy and a diploma in non-medical prescribing from Cardiff University. This training allows me to offer a well-rounded approach to pain management, addressing both physical and psychological needs.

Over the years, I have worked in both the NHS and private sectors, gaining broad experience in orthopaedics, rheumatology, sports injuries, and elderly rehabilitation. My expertise extends to occupational health physiotherapy, where I assist corporate clients with workplace and vehicle assessments and provide manual handling training.

In 2016, I became the first physiotherapist in South Wales to work in primary care as a first contact practitioner. With my additional qualifications in prescribing, I offer a more integrated approach to managing chronic pain.
