All of our physiotherapists are chartered which means they are members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. As a condition of membership, individuals agree to adhere to the CSP’s rules of professional conduct, are expected to meet the CSP standards of physiotherapy practice and have to undergo continued professional development the same way as a doctor or nurse. All our physiotherapists are also registered with the Healthcare Professionals Council (HPC).
Your first visit will involve an assessment of your condition so that a treatment programme can be specifically developed for you. We offer a wide range of therapies that are often used in combination in a treatment programme. Your initial visit will consist of a 45-60-minute consultation and assessment, further assessments and treatment will be for 30 minutes.
Physiotherapy can help you recover following an injury, surgery or illness. All aspects of sports injuries are covered and our team work closely with Midland Orthopaedic Practice to ensuring you receive bespoke follow up care, offering treatments and exercises specifically for you following your Surgery.
You will receive first class treatment at an affordable price. You can make an appointment by calling the Centre on or you can ask your GP to refer you if you prefer. Physiotherapy may be covered by your medical insurance. You will need to check your cover with your insurer first and you may need a GP referral. We also offer competitive Self pay treatments.

Professional profile
I qualified as a physiotherapist from the University of Hertfordshire back in 2005 and began my career at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton before specialising in paediatrics in 2007.
I have benefitted from a wide variety of experience in both the hospital and community settings and as a result I have a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of paediatrics.
I have a particular passion for developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD) /dyspraxia and have run many DCD clinics in different settings in both the NHS and independent clinics. I have also run NHS hydrotherapy clinics over the years and can access pools around the region if required.
Personal profile
I wanted to set up Sutton Coldfield Childrens’ Physiotherapy because I wanted to be able to continue working on my passion but also flexibly around my own family of 3 children. Also, whilst the NHS physiotherapy services are fantastic, I know that sometimes families would like to see a physiotherapist more quickly or more often than what the NHS can provide. Everybody is different. I love the fact that by providing a service I can offer communication and control to families over their childrens care.
I love to educate children and families about their conditions (mostly I learn from them!) and welcome questions at any time. Healthcare can be a minefield of jargon, which can be very intimidating for some. A line that most of my patients have heard from me is “we like to say long Latin words to make ourselves sound clever!” and so I like to ensure that I speak in as plain English as possible (though I do like to show off with a few Latin words).
