About Janet
I graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 1990.
Since then I have worked in private practice for 25 years and have a special interest in musculoskeletal medicine, rheumatology, sports injuries and vestibular rehabilitation (dizziness).
My practice was awarded accredited status in July 2000. This involves examination of every aspect of the practice by independent assessors who set rigorous standards and monitor them regularly. I continue to further my professional development by attending regular postgraduate courses.
What is Physiotherapy?
Chartered Physiotherapists receive extensive training in anatomy, physiology and pathology; therefore they have an excellent understanding of how the body works and what happens when things go wrong.
At your initial consultation you will be asked a number of questions and examined to assess the nature of your condition and to decide on the most appropriate form of treatment. You may be required to undress to your underwear so please remember to wear something suitable.
The physiotherapist will then discuss your problem and start treatment. A range of skills may be used including mobilization and manipulation ('hands on' techniques), electrotherapy, acupuncture and exercises.

- Accurate assessment and diagnosis of spinal conditions, joint problems and soft tissue/sports injuries.
