The Team

Sarah, Caroline and Anthony feel that their blend of skills and experience complement each other and create a good team. Sarah has the benefit of many years of practice within musculo-skeletal medicine as well as having built up a good relationship with many GP’s, Consultants and other Health Professionals. Caroline and Anthony have the bonus of being trained more recently and so are up to date on current research techniques and Evidence Based Practice. Caroline is continuing to study at Masters Level, which stimulates ongoing development and debate within our team as to current ‘best practice’ techniques. Anthony is able to bring her extended knowledge of training regimes, exercise physiology and sports technology in to the fold.

We are a happy and healthy team who enjoying working together!
