Jane graduated from Cumberland College of Health Sciences in 1978. Since then she spent many years working in rehabilitation of neurological and orthopaedic conditions before moving to private practice in 1998.
Her emphasis is on personalised treatment based on thorough assessment of the presenting problem, taking into account each patient’s needs, lifestyle and expectations.
Since graduating Jane has completed many post graduate courses including becoming Credentialed in McKenzie Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy which can be used in the assessment and treatment of spinal and extremity problems.
With over 20 years experience she is competent in treating spinal pain, joint problems, sports injuries, neurological conditions, movement impairment disorders and paediatric conditions.
She has a special interest in the treatment of neck and back pain in adults and children using the McKenzie Method. It is based on active patient involvement and education. It is time and cost effective for the patient and used world wide by therapists who have undergone specialist training.
Jane is experienced in the treament of extremity problems, also based on thorough assessment of the affected joint or painful area.
Her personalised approach to treatment enables her to choose the appropriate exercise programme and/or management advice for people of all age groups who are experiencing pain or movement dysfunction. Years of experience and a thorough subjective and objective assessment gives her the ability to diagnose and classify the underlying condition and then formulate a treatment plan. If the patient will not benefit from mechanical therapy, advice will be given about other more appropriate forms of treament, investigations and management.
Jane has extensive experience with children and infants who may present with musculo- skeletal or neurological problems. Exercise/management programmes for babies and infants involves involvement of parents and caregivers.
