Rebecca trained in Newcastle, completing her BSc (Hons) in physiotherapy in 1998. She is registered with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), the Health Care Professional Council (HCPC) and the Organisation of Private Practice Physiotherapists (OCPPP).

Rebecca takes pride in trying to find the cause and effect of a condition and puts patients at ease.

Rebecca has post graduate qualifications and skills in acupuncture, manipulation and rehabilitation. The physio room also hosts electrotherapy, including ultrasound and interferential modalities.

Rebecca sees many patients for pre and post operative care. She works very closely with many orthopaedic and spinal surgeons, including sitting in many multi-disciplinary meetings (including surgeons, radiologists and pain specialists).

The majority of Rebecca’s treatments are manually based. She also sees some patients for ‘maintenance treatment’ where appropriate.

Prior to attending her physiotherapy degree, Rebecca had completed a Sports Therapy diploma at Farnborough College of Technology (1992-1993). This qualification included sports massage. Rebecca worked in this field extensively before and throughout attending university, including working at elite level for sports such as British athletics.

Knowing the stresses that her patients have these days, Rebecca is aware that most of her patients who book sports massage treatments, like to feel pampered! The treatment room layout and colour scheme has been designed by a high-end interior designer to help make the experience comfortable for the patients. Rebecca has invested in quality products such as soft, comfortable blankets and luxury oils from Aromatherapy Associates.

Where applicable, Rebecca is able to offer acupuncture treatment for pain and/or stiffness. She has trained in Western medical acupuncture, to a level 7 post graduate course hosted by the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP) and was taught/assessed to a Masters level.

This course was hosted specifically for physiotherapists (who already have a higher level of anatomy knowledge). This certificate also covers patients who are blood donors

Rebecca has attended many post graduate manipulation courses, so is able to provide, where necessary, manipulation techniques, eg for neck, thoracic or low back pain.

Rebecca has attended many Pilates courses, including the post-graduate Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI) course. This course is designed for qualified physiotherapists (who already have a higher level of anatomy and medical knowledge). Rebecca has attended the APPI courses for all levels, including beginners, intermediate and advanced level patients.

Rebecca has been involved with exercise prescription for patients since completing her Sports Therapy course in 1993, including gym instruction and fitness classes. She also passed her RSA Exercise to Music qualification and Step Aerobics certification.

Rebecca then worked in gyms and taught group exercise classes before starting her physiotherapy degree in 1995. This exercise and rehabilitation prescription was further advanced with her BSc Physiotherapy skills and she has attended many more rehabilitation courses over the years, including late stage (eg Speed, Agility and Quickness (SAQ) courses).

Rebecca is currently undergoing a MSc in Strength and Conditioning at the world renowned St Mary’s University in Teddington.

Rehabilitation can be clinic and gym based, from early stages, through to advanced sports-field rehabilitation. Rebecca is also able to offer off-site hydrotherapy sessions, where appropriate.
