Why Winchester Mobile Rehab?
I am an exercise specialist physiotherapist based in Southampton who visits patients within about a 30-mile radius. I have extensive experience working in the NHS and private sectors where I have gained valuable insight into the many medical conditions and other challenges that can face patients wanting to get fitter and more mobile. I particularly enjoy working with older patients who need careful guiding through exercise and complex medical histories.
Before qualifying as a physiotherapist in 2008 I worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer in the Esporta gym franchise and Virgin Active gyms. This has given me a wide range of exercise expertise, whether it is to become stronger, more mobile, improve balance or endurance. With a little imagination you can do a lot just using body weight and small amounts of equipment in your own lounge! As I am both a qualified physiotherapist and personal trainer, I can use both aspects of my knowledge to provide bespoke training, especially for those with medical conditions.
Exercise is a core component of physiotherapy and has been shown, for example, to be the best intervention for most types of low back pain and tendinopathy, such as with the Achilles and the lateral hip. But the exercises must be at the right level and type and dosage to be effective and be progressive. This is where I come in with home visits to provide motivation, structure and take the fear out of exercise.
