Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that aims to reduce pain and maximise function which might have been affected due to an injury, as a result of surgery or illness, or because of general deconditioning.
Our Physiotherapist will start by discussing your symptoms, lifestyle and hobbies. These are important as it will help guide not only the diagnosis but also goals of treatment too.
Following this, you will be examined, allowing the Physiotherapist to make an accurate diagnosis and form a treatment plan. This might include joint mobilisations, soft tissue massage, taping, or a home exercise programme.
Our Physiotherapist, Harriet, is registered with the HCPC ( PH65747) and is a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists. She is able to assess, diagnose and treat all adults (18+).

Spinal pain can affect any area along the spine from the neck down to the lower back. This can also include the sacrum and coccyx. After performing a thorough examination, the Physiotherapist will decide and fully explain the most appropriate treatment approach for you.
This can help the extremity joints surrounding the spine, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. Treatment to these areas can address the joints and surrounding soft tissues. Pain arising from these structures are often caused by injury, weakness, altered movement patterns or post-surgery.
This is aimed at improving range of movement, strength and function following a range of procedures, which are more likely to be relevant following orthopaedic surgery. These might include: total knee or hip replacements, shoulder surgery, rotator cuff repair /replacement, or spinal decompression surgery.
Useful alongside or as an adjunct to aid treatment. Taping can help to reduce pain and improve function, by facilitating the body’s own natural healing process. It works by offloading tension in the muscles without causing restriction.
I graduated from Southampton University in 2003 with a degree in Physiotherapy. Since then, I have worked both privately and for the NHS, including team lead for the Pelvic Health Department for East Sussex Healthcare Trust. I currently work as an advanced practitioner within the Chronic Pain Team for Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust.
My interests lie both in Musculoskeletal and Pelvic Health Physiotherapy, and since graduating I have completed all of my Pelvic Obstetric Gynaecological Physiotherapy (POGP) postgraduate courses.
I am driven in my role as a Physiotherapist to provide an autonomous approach to treatment. With this in mind, I am always careful to treat everyone as an individual and listen carefully to my client’s needs. My treatments are goal led with a focus on reducing pain and maximising function.
