At your initial assessment I will look at how you are moving, your strength, fitness levels, posture, coordination and sensation. I will also look at how you manage everyday functions such as walking, getting in and out of bed, and how you manage climbing the stairs. I will discuss with you what your expectations are of Physiotherapy, and what your goals might be. We can then discuss a rehabilitation programme that is tailored to your needs.

Your initial assessment will usually last between 60 and 75 minute to allow for a thorough assessment of your needs. Treatment sessions following this can be discussed but will usually last 45 minutes.

The frequency and duration of treatment sessions will be determined during your initial assessment and will depend on the cause and severity of your mobility problems. A few sessions may be enough or longer term therapy may be needed to achieve your goals.

However, if you are only able to manage one session of private treatment then I will ensure, that following your initial appointment, that you have a clear idea of what ideally is needed and what you can do to help yourself.

Your initial assessment will last up to 75 minutes and cost £95. Any follow up sessions will be charged at £80 per 45 minutes.

Charges for anything additional will be discussed with you at the time, e.g. the writing of reports/referrals, liaising with other health professionals.

I am based in Lindfield and will travel up to approximately 5 miles without additional charges. Longer journeys may incur an additional charge but please contact us to discuss this further.

Experience has shown that providing treatment in your own home, or place of residence, is much more effective than you having to attend a clinic. Observation of the specific functional challenges of your own home environment enables me to establish the most appropriate rehabilitation programme to achieve your goals. It also makes things easier for you, and removes the difficulties that fatigue can present when travelling.

I work with anyone over the age of 18 who has an injury to their brain or spinal cord, or who has a disease that affects the nervous system. This can include Stroke, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, Head Injury, Functional Neurological Disorder, Guillain Barre Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and any other Neurological disorder. I also work with people over the age of 60 who have reduced mobility, balance, strength and function.

I also have experience in PD Warrior Exercise, group exercise classes, hydrotherapy, clinical pilates, and Orthopaedic rehabilitation.

I can work with young adults and adults of all ages, but generally not children as they require more specialist intervention.

Ideally you should wear something loose and comfortable that is easy to move in.

Participating in therapy when you aren't feeling well is unlikely to be as effective. Where possible, it is advisable to re-arrange your session to a time when you feel well. If you don't give any warning of this you may be charged, but I appreciate that this often can't be helped.
