Physiotherapy and rehabilitation

She combines manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation and deep tissue or sports massage according to each person’s needs. She also provides one-to-one matwork Pilates and falls prevention advice.
Her sporting experience spans running, football, rugby, equestrian and water sports, climbing, hockey and strength training.
Neurological rehabilitation
Laura also supports people living with neurological conditions, predominantly difficulties following a stroke. Drawing on her NHS stroke rehabilitation experience, she helps patients work towards goals that matter in their everyday lives.
Her approach builds rehabilitation into everyday activities, using exercise and approaches informed by the Bobath Concept where appropriate.

Laura starts by getting to know you and understanding the background to your problem. Together, you will agree a treatment plan around your priorities, whether that means reducing pain, returning to sport or managing everyday tasks more confidently.
