Working background:

I started my career working in private practices in Belgium and I moved to the UK following the completion of a MSc in Manual Therapy. I joined the outpatients department at a private hospital in Brentwood where I treated patients for postoperative rehabilitation, hydrotherapy and musculoskeletal conditions. Two years later, I moved to Sussex where I worked at the Newick Physio Clinic for 6 years and the Spire Hospital in Tunbridge Wells for more than 20 years.

I have a special interest in Foot & Ankle conditions since I started to work alongside a Foot & Ankle surgeon. I became the Clinical Lead Physiotherapist of the Foot and Ankle Centre in 2014 in Tunbridge Wells and my duties included developing postoperative protocols and seeing patients for conservative treatment and postoperative rehabilitation.
