Physiotherapist
Meet Lucy
I qualified in Physiotherapy from Sheffield Hallam University in 2004 after completing a BSc in Human Biology at Leeds Metropolitan University.
I have been working as a physiotherapist for nearly 20 years. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings in the NHS and in private health care. I am very passionate about my job and strongly believe in patient centered care, tailoring individual treatment plans to suit each patient and their circumstances. I am a neurological physiotherapist by background and have a special interest in dizziness and balance disorders. I love to treat complicated patients who require thinking outside of the box and innovative treatment ideas.
I am a mother of two girls and when I am not running around after them I enjoy reading, crafting, walking and gardening. I run an exercise group for the local mums, which involves a combination of stretching and strength training.
