Physio & Health Matters was set up by me in May 2000 at a time of change in my life. Over the years it has developed into a thriving practice, where the key objective of providing a quality professional service to our local community has been the primary focus. Clinically I have a keen interest in the sacro iliac joint and the spine in general. I feel the sacro iliac area has been a poorly understood area historically and to help with the understanding of this part of the anatomy I am in the process of writing a course for my fellow colleagues to simplify it, and remove the fears around it. Since July of 2012 with the aid of a loyal and hard working team I have set up a satellite clinic in Bannerbrook Pharmacy in Bannerbrook, Coventry. At the moment I am in the process of setting up another satellite clinic in Stratford Upon Avon at the Circle Clinic which will open to clients very soon; just watch this space. My ambition is to open 6 clinics in total which will all provide a very high standard of care to all our clients. My personal goal is to get better at my Asthanga Yoga and get to the gym at least 4 times a week and join the local tennis club to improve my game.

Hi I am Mary. I graduated from the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff in 2006. I have worked in both the NHS and private sector since qualifying. I have had 3 years experience in elite football and motocross and thoroughly enjoy sports rehab and sports massage. However, since having 3 young children of my own my interest in Women’s health has grown and grown. I am qualified in acupuncture, sports massage and APPI modified pilates. I am a married mother with three young children and a dog. I have recently moved from Manchester to Ross-on-wye. I enjoy socialising, family life, running and pilates. Life can become hectic but taking care of your body and health must come first to cope and enjoy the stresses and experiences life can throw at us.

Hello, I am Lucy. I recently graduated from the University of Hertfordshire in 2017 with a first class Bsc Honours Degree in Physiotherapy and have been working for Physio and Health Matters since the beginning of September 2017. During this time I have already grown and developed in my clinical practice and I am continuing to do so day by day. I am particular interested, at this point, in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, assessing and treating muscular, spinal and neurological problems. In addition to working as a Physiotherapist I am currently training to gain my Masters Degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy in order to treat a range of animals including equine, canine and feline animals. In my spare time I horse ride, however I no longer have my own horse due to university commitments over the past few years therefore, I am riding for others to keep my hobby going. In addition to this I run regularly and have completed a half marathon in July 2017 and a full tough mudder in May 2016. I aspire to have my own horse again one day and work my way up to compete at a minimum of advanced level eventing.

Hi, I am Hannah. I graduated as a Dietitian from The University of Nottingham in 2004. and completed further studies of a MPhil in Nutritional Sciences at Kings College University London in 2014.  I have over 13 years of clinical and managerial NHS experience in a variety of hospital and community settings. These include specialist tertiary referral centres and district general hospitals. I have a passion to provide an effective, high quality, evidence based dietetic service to clients. I have experience in helping clients manage a wide range of clinical conditions, including the use of the Low FODMAP diet for the management of IBS. I have recently relocated back to my childhood home of Herefordshire, with my husband, 2 young children and our dog Tilly. We are a very active family and I enjoy running (often with the little ones in a buggy), horse riding, catching up with friends and of course good food!

Hi, I am Debbie. On arriving at the Ross-on-Wye clinic, I’ll meet and greet you before you attend your appointment. I joined the team here at Physio & Health Matters in 2017 and for over nine years or more prior to this role, I have also been in administration developing a personable skill set that I bring to the role here including being a trained first aider. I’ll be your first point of contact when you phone or come into the Ross-on-Wye clinic from making appointments through to payments and any general queries you may have during your time with us. In my spare time I am a keen horse woman that competes most weekends in all disciplines such as Show Jumping, Dressage, Showing and Cross-Country! When I’m not risking life and limb I can be found out walking with my Labrador.
