I spent the first eight years of my career rotating from one area of physiotherapy to another. On each new rotation I was convinced that this would be the one that i would specialise in. However, it took a very special physiotherapist who not only captured my interest in Neurological Physiotherapy but was able to maintain it. From then on I have been overwhelmed by the body’s ability to adapt to even the most traumatic neurological event and this has led me to be the type of physio that never says never. I enjoy the individuality of my patients and this is how i plan my physiotherapy treatments.

I have recently undertaken a post graduate certificate in Neurological rehabilitation. This further reinforced my image of the complexity of the neurological system but also enabled me to update my anatomy, physiology and sociological skills.

I work not only in the clinic but also in the community. I love the insight that this gives me into everyday lives and how exercise and recovery affects this. I have been known to use various household utensils to adapt or progress exercises and even been advised to patent a few!

To my surprise I also found myself recently training to be a Pilates instructor. It has been a complete change to my daily routine to take classes but I enjoy every minute, particularly the progression of the amusing banter at the beginning of the class to the hushed groans by the end! always a sign of a good class! the transferability of Pilates into my neurological treatments has also been significant and the core has become a big feature in my physio life.

Since joining the Courtyard Clinic I have realised that although it is important to specialise it is also important to be able to transfer your skills and therefore my aim for my future progression in physiotherapy is to be able to incorporate more musculoskeletal techniques. This means more use of the metal implements!

As a teenager I enjoyed socialising and sports and was fascinated with the body, a career in physiotherapy seemed the obvious choice. It is a career that I still love as I continue to learn more about people, their injuries, and the many ways to assist a full recovery.

The competition to get onto a physiotherapy degree course was fierce, so I initially completed a Sports Science degree, a Swedish massage certificate and an Aromatherapy diploma. With perseverance I gained a physiotherapy place and qualified in 1998.

Since then, I have worked locally for the NHS in Gloucester, Stroud and Dursley, finally specialising in Musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy. When my 3 children arrived, I chose to move to the Courtyard Clinic, a local, flexible and professional clinic with a talented team who have lots of enthusiasm.

While at Courtyard I continued to develop my knowledge of musculoskeletal conditions by doing regular training courses, listening to my peers, and keeping up to date with the latest research. I qualified to use acupuncture and I became a Pilates instructor and have been teaching here for many years. Although I do try to work my classes hard to ensure they benefit, we have a little banter and I do encourage a Pilates smile!

I had a back injury in 2013 which resulted in surgery. I cannot say I enjoyed being a patient, but it gave me a valuable insight into the concerns of those with back pain, and this has been an area of particular interest for me. I realised the strong connection between mind and body and the importance of doing my exercises!

My latest fascination and interest is in the field of concussion and I have qualified as a Certified Complete Concussions practitioner, enabling me to assess and treat those who have ongoing symptoms following a concussion.

I feel incredibly lucky to work here as a physiotherapist and strive to provide the best care I can in a reassuring and caring environment.

Podiatry is the diagnosis, treatment and management of foot and ankle related conditions. Podiatrists also have the ability to prescribe medications and perform surgery if necessary, therefore a Podiatrist is able to treat anything from a simple verruca lesion to corrective bunion surgery and anything in-between where the foot and ankle is concerned.

Some Podiatrists are trained in specialist biomechanics, observing body mechanics and how the feet control the joints above them. A Podiatrist therefore works together in a multidiscipline environment with other clinicians such as physiotherapists, orthopaedic surgeons, chiropractors and osteopaths to help treat common conditions such as knee, hip and lower back pain.

Our feet are our foundation and will therefore dictate the position of bones and joints upwards in the body. Your Podiatrist will treat the foot and ankle with a variety of treatments ranging from orthotics, manipulation and exercise to help resolve lower and upper limb conditions, working with other members of the clinical team. Some conditions require a team approach or just another opinion and within the Courtyard Clinic we have many experienced clinicians who excel within their profession. I feel very lucky to be part of the team here at the Courtyard Clinic.

Coming from a science and mechanical background I fell in love with medicine and its mechanical side while studying in Canada. Qualifying as a Biomechanical Musculorskeletal Podiatrist has taken me all over the United Kingdom, ireland, Usa and Canada to practise and lecture. I have currently entered the world of academia, giving back to a profession that has given me such contentment and happiness. My passion for my field of Biomechanics is evident during my energetic lectures.

My main passion is for my children and even though we don’t all live together, the times we spend together are so special, and like my university lectures these times are very energetic and fulfilling.

I feel very lucky being part of such a wonderfully talented team working within the Courtyard Clinic, with the array of specialities, experience and dedication it’s a great place to both work and be a patient.

Helen Cann BSc Hons Physiotherapy MSc Veterinary Physiotherapy JEMS Certified Clinical Rehabilitation Practitioner APPI Certified Pilates Instructor

I have been working as a Physiotherapist since 1996, initially inspired into the profession by my horse having equine physiotherapy. I trained in Bristol and then went onto study Veterinary Physiotherapy in London. For 10 years I combined my human and Veterinary practice. For the last 13 years have focused on developing my human practice here at the Courtyard Clinic. I trained as an APPI Pilates instructor in 2012 and qualified as a JEMS certified clinical rehabilitation practitioner in 2019. JEMS is a systematic effective method of physiotherapy which targets the body’s efficiency of motion and addresses physical performance as well as injury prevention. My JEMs training has made me more aware of all the systems in the body and how stress, anxiety, breathing and diet can all affect how we process pain and how we move. I enjoy teaching my 9 weekly Pilates classes both in Dursley and Wotton under Edge and strongly believe that practising Pilates has an important role for both rehabilitation and maintenance of spinal and postural problems in all age groups. My holistic approach to the care of my musculoskeletal clients includes the use of JEMS rehabilitation, manual therapies, breathing work, advice and Pilates. I am always open to new ideas and enjoy working in a dynamic and developing clinical environment within a great multi-disciplinary team.

I always wanted to be a physiotherapist. It took me a few years and a roundabout route to become one but I really do think it is a wonderful job. Being able to help people diagnose and treat their conditions is a true privilege.

Since childhood I have been fascinated by taking things apart to see how they work – my mother will attest to it. I always wanted to know how things work and how they can be “fixed”. My first career in software development allowed me to develop my problem solving skills and I enjoyed the challenges the field brought, however I never shook the desire to work with people. I knew it was time to retrain after my own personal experience of being a physiotherapy patient. I tore my anterior Cruciate Ligament whilst playing football and the physiotherapy team that helped me rehabilitate showed such support, passion and insight that they picked me up from a personal low point and returned me to a higher playing standard than I have ever achieved previously. I wanted to be able to provide that to others.

Having a background in IT, I have always loved the very latest technology, and the constant evolution and search for improvement is an aspect of physiotherapy that very much appeals. Research and literature is continually being produced helping us understand and better treat all musculoskeletal conditions. Keeping up to date with the latest evidence and treatment methods is something that I feel quite passionate about. It is something that is fundamental and all modern therapists should be proactive in. Never before have we understood more about the human body and it’s workings but there is still so very much more to learn. Being inquisitive and always seeking better ways to do things are traits I try to promote and working for the Courtyard Clinic provides the perfect environment. The team strive to provide the very best possible service to our clients and are always open to new treatment methods and therapeutic modalities. Personally I enjoy being able to utilise the very latest evidence and I am always searching for ways to improve my practice.

I strongly believe that an individual’s quality of life is intrinsically linked to physical and mental activity. For treatment to be its most effective there must be a relationship of trust and understanding. I try to ensure that the treatment I provide is as informative and fun as I can make it. Explaining what has happened and why the treatment methods we are using will work, are key elements in the rehabilitation process. Coupling understanding with creative, fun, and most of all effective treatment is my primary focus. Using a variety of modalities including Pilates, sports specific exercise and manual techniques, enables us to keep treatment sessions varied and challenging to help achieve our goals.

I graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (USW) with a distinction in my Masters degree of Chiropractic. I was also delighted to be awarded the best research project, having investigated the management of episodes of low back pain in adults.

I am registered with the General Chiropractic Council and am a member of the British Chiropractic Association and the Royal College of Chiropractors. I pride myself on being guided by the most up to date evidence and NICE clinical guidelines, in order to provide personalised care tailored to every individual.

I enjoy treating a varied caseload of injuries, aches and pains. I have special interests in neck and back pain, BPPV/dizziness and pregnancy care. Most recently, I have trained with APPI to become a Pilates instructor, something I am very excited about and believe will hugely complement my clinical work.

I enjoy working with a person, and helping them get back in the flow, make changes in their lives and see them flourish. In the last ten years I have felt more and more comfortable incorporating bodywork into my practice, and I think this is where I feel most at home.

I trained in sports massage as it was the very extreme end of the spectrum from the Kinesiology energy balancing I have done since 1996. Over the years I have realized the power of incorporating them both into wonderfully relaxing treatments with a strong healing potential. The point when we are most relaxed is when the most change can occur.

As a result of twenty years experience working one-to-one with so many different personalities and loving the diversity and beauty of individuals, I have strengthened my intuitive abilities; this has been helped by practicing Chi Gung for many years as well as gardening, dancing and painting, all of which I find keep my spirit strong and my feet grounded!

Holistic Massage Therapy at the Courtyard Clinic with Giulia provides deep relaxation and relief from pain and tension. It can help depression and emotional symptoms and make a person feel more positive about their life or just be a really chilled experience! If you just want a normal massage, nothing too deep, let Giulia know, otherwise she will use any of the following techniques:

Reharmonising and Unwinding Light or firm touch of Chinese acupoints, when accessing energetic pathways in the body Trigger points in taut bands of muscular tissue Sports Massage techniques Deep Tissue Massage Shiatsu-techniques for massage She can often ascertain what underlying emotional and nutritional imbalances a person may have that correspond to their concerns around their physical condition.

I have been working as a chartered physiotherapist for fourteen years since qualifying in 2003. Over that time I have been lucky enough to work in a variety of clinical settings which has given me excellent insight into a wide range of patients, conditions and rehabilitation techniques.

I started out in the NHS where I worked for five years, going on to specialise in musculoskeletal disorders, (problems with joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves and bones) and trauma and orthopaedics (surgery involving these same structures). I then spent time in private practice gaining experience in treating sports injuries before moving on to work for The Fire Fighters Charity, a residential rehab centre in Devon offering services to fire fighters and their families.

I have completed a large number of post graduate courses in manual therapy, functional movement, hydrotherapy, kinesiotaping, orthopaedic medicine, rheumatology, clinical education and Pilates.

I am a certified matwork Pilates teacher, experienced in teaching all ages and abilities. Pilates is an amazing way of restoring normal movement and as a physiotherapist I use my knowledge to modify the exercises so it really does have something to offer everyone.

In 2015 I spent a fantastic year in Melbourne, Australia where I discovered Large Equipment Pilates. This involves performing the Pilates repertoire on pieces of equipment known as the reformer, the split pedal chair, the arc barrel and the trapeze, also known as the cadillac. In 2023 I became a certified Pilates reformer instructor and I offer this increasingly popular service at the Courtyard Clinic on a 1-1 basis. The reformer was originally named the ‘Universal Reformer’ as Joseph Pilates, (founder of the Pilates Method), believed that you could universally reform your body. Its unique moveable carriage, spring and pulley system was designed to both assist and challenge the body to better perform the matwork exercises. It also aides in correcting faulty movement patterns and in rehabilitating muscles and joints.

In my spare time I love to keep fit and active. I am an ex-retained fire fighter for Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service and was a volunteer for the State Emergency Service in Australia. My future plans include further study and quailfications in Strength and Conditioning.

I love to help people to change the way they react to the issues affecting their lives. Seeing the difference from when I first see a client to when we finish our sessions is amazing! I qualified as a clinical solution focused hypnotherapist in 2012 and do regular continuing professional development (CPD) each year.

There’s only one word to describe me and that’s ‘workaholic’, I have to be reminded to take some time off. i’ve always been a caring person who wants to make people feel better and i’m not good with blood and needles, so becoming a nurse was out for me.

My massage experience all started when I was 15 and on holiday in Cornwall with my family, when I spotted an article for a weekend workshop for massage and aromatherapy. I knew instantly that I wanted to attend, so I phoned the number and to my surprise I was able to book a place on the course. I begged my dad to bring me back to Cornwall for the course a few weeks later and that’s when I knew I had found my career path.

After finishing my a levels I attended UWIC for a three year degree in Complementary therapy where I qualified in massage, aromatherapy and reflexology.

In 2009 I started working at the Courtyard Clinic and have loved every minute. Since working here I have also qualified in Chinese Cupping, Neuro massage, hot stones massage and pregnancy massage.

My main field of interest is working with people who have multiple sclerosis and helping them manage their symptoms through massage or reflexology.

Because I love my job so much I don’t just work in the clinic, I also undertake home visits. I don’t like the thought of someone who needs a massage treatment not being able to receive one, just because they can’t make it into the clinic.

The most rewarding part of my career is when patients come in and say they felt so much better after their previous treatment. It still gives me a buzz and puts a smile on my face today.

About me…

Growing up I tried football, cricket, athletics, swimming, martial arts, and tennis, eventually settling on rugby as my priority sport. The fitness training and strength work in the gym for rugby sparked my interest in researching and experimenting with whatever techniques and exercises I could find in forums and articles online.

A lot of injuries saw me in the physio room almost as much as on the pitch although at this point I still had aspirations of working as a sports scientist either conducting research or working alongside professional teams. I studied Sports & Exercise Science at the University of South Wales which gave me a great foundation in exercise physiology, anatomy, sports psychology, biomechanics, and strength & conditioning.

On completion of my BSc, the reality of the competition for very limited vacancies in professional sport saw me work in a variety of different roles before packing my bags for a year of travel and rugby in New Zealand and 2 years of snowboarding in Canada. A chance conversation towards my last few weeks in Canada with a physiotherapist on holiday from the UK made me investigate physio as a career pathway that matched my skills and interests.

Fast forward 4 years, I graduated from the University of Bradford with a Masters in Physiotherapy, Sport & Exercise Medicine and complemented this with a Level 4 Certificate in Strength & Conditioning and a Diploma in Dry Needling/Medical Acupuncture.

I have worked with a wide variety of populations in settings ranging from professional rugby players at Bradford Bulls to elderly patients on acute medical and neurological wards in the NHS. Joining Courtyard Clinic has given me the opportunity to focus on MSK physiotherapy and my particular interests of sports injury rehab, conservative management of osteoarthritis, and promoting strength training for all.

I am a member of the HCPC and CSP.

I was introduced to physio from a young age following an injury to my achilles tendon; I was given treatment and exercises which really helped. Following this I spent a lot of my school holidays shadowing the physios at Courtyard and was simply amazed by their skill set and knowledge base. I started to realise then that I wanted to be a physio myself, but at the time it seemed an impossible task. The advice I was given was to get my head down and work for it, so I did.

Tailoring my studies around this I became very driven with the idea of becoming a qualified physiotherapist. The defining moment for me was at a careers meeting at school when I was told I “wasn’t smart enough” to become a physio and that I should look at a different career path. This spurred me on further and I chose to do a qualification in Sport & Exercise Science. This led me to the University of Nottingham where I graduated as a physiotherapist. I then came back to Gloucestershire, where I grew up, to start my career.

I’m very passionate about physiotherapy generally and believe that comes across in my approach. I believe that all practise should be evidence based from up-to-date research so the care provided is effective. Education, trust and enjoyment are all key components of providing quality treatment in my opinion and so this is what I continually strive for. Treatments do not need to be complicated, they need to be simple but focussed. Whether this is through exercise, sport-specific or manual therapy, focus is key.

Looking at people for who they are and not just an injured knee, shoulder or ankle is also very important. Physios are in a great position to have a positive impact on people’s lives, general health and wellbeing. Helping people make changes for the better and having a positive impact are some of the many reasons why I love my job!

Growing up, I was an injury prone sporty child who also had scoliosis of the spine so I had a lot of contact with Physiotherapists, especially at Courtyard Clinic! I was always very interested in the human body and amazed by the work a physio could do to fix us so it became my aim to become one.

Following university, I was given the opportunity to work as a Physiotherapist and massage therapist for a couple of years at Club La Santa, a sports training resort in Lanzarote where I treated a range of clients from all sports and backgrounds.

Since returning to the UK, my career has been varied between having my children. I have been fortunate to gain valuable experience working at the National Star College, a college for students with disabilities, the NHS and now within Courtyard Clinic.

I like to look at each client individually and get to know them as I am aware of how our lifestyles, mental health and everyday stresses and strains can impact upon our physical wellbeing.

I have always enjoyed doing massages too, my Dad has always said to me “you have eyes in your hands” and I love the reward of doing a treatment and hearing how much better the client feels at the end

My most recent training has been my APPI Pilates instructor course and I am excited to be teaching at Courtyard Clinic and incorporating the APPI principles into my Physiotherapy practice.

My passion for physiotherapy began at age 7 after falling off a horse, fracturing my elbow and needing physiotherapy. I paid more attention to my grandmother who was also a trained physiotherapist and highly admired by her patients. She knew human anatomy in great detail. You couldn’t catch her out. She would use this skill to problem solve her patients’ difficulties. This inspired me to work hard and gain a place to study physiotherapy.

I first completed a BSc in Biological Sciences and then went on to achieve a first-class physiotherapy degree at the University of Wales College of Medicine. I began as a junior physiotherapist at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Roehampton, London. I progressed to a senior physiotherapist at Kingston Hospital. Here I gained 10 years of valuable experience in amputee, neurological and elderly persons rehabilitation, orthopaedics, medicine, surgery, intensive care and musculoskeletal outpatients departments.

My passion is to be the very best physiotherapist that I can be. I want to make a difference to my patients and give my patients the best treatment that they deserve. This led me to complete a postgraduate diploma in advanced neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapy at the University of Hertfordshire, become an acupuncture practitioner and a Pilates instructor. I thrive on learning and continue to enjoy keeping up to date with the latest research.

More recently I have completed and continue to take part in a couple of mentorship programmes. One is run by David O’Sullivan who is the England Rugby Union and League physiotherapist, another is led by Jo Gibson, who is famous in the physiotherapy world and known for her expertise in the assessment and management of shoulder pathology. It’s a wonderful learning opportunity to be able to discuss the more complex patients with these two experts.

I moved to Cheltenham almost 10 years ago to continue working with the NHS in Worcestershire but also working privately. I now work privately here at the Courtyard Clinic and in a small clinic in Cheltenham. This gives me the opportunity to be part of a varied multidisciplinary team of expert practitioners and help patients throughout their course of treatment, from diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation, to continue maintenance with Pilates.

I love being a physiotherapist and I am really proud of my profession

The only way I can tell you why I became a massage therapist, is to tell you a bit about me. Many years ago I was in a serious car accident which left me with severe whiplash. During my rehabilitation I was introduced to remedial massage to help with muscle tension, soft tissue damage and headaches. My improvement increased dramatically and I was sold after that!! I was so interested in the massage and soft tissue approach to rehabilitation, I chose to explore the possibilities of a career change.

A move to the UK in 1996 and a clean slate gave me the opportunity to pursue my change of career and I took a holistic massage course in Bristol in 1997 at the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork.

I joined Courtyard Clinic in 1998 and began sharing my love of massage with others. During my work and seeing the needs of patients, I expanded my knowledge and skill base by pursuing a sports massage Diploma in Cardiff in 1999.

Tailoring the massage, I now bring both holistic and sports massage as a merged approach and therefore consider myself a remedial massage therapist. This encapsulates the umbrella of protective care and allows me to delve deeper into the reasons/causes for injury and enables me to have open communication with each patient to provide best quality care through the trust and respect developed. My skill base has grown over the years and includes therapeutic, sports, rehabilitative and neurological massage treatments. I have carried out an independent study with riders and their horses – how an injury to one can affect the other.

I celebrate the success of each patient, no matter how small, and strive for perfection with their care. A recent unique success and one to go down in history was preparing a patient for the London marathon, running for charity dressed as an eyeball – and has now achieved Guinness Book of World records status!! This is what I love about my job – just when I think I can predict cases an eyeball walks into my life!

I absolutely love what I do, am inquisitive by nature and massage gives me purpose. I enjoy coming to work every day knowing that I am helping people have the best quality of life possible.

Being the token Canadian on the Courtyard team I talk a bit funny, am very outgoing, bubbly and am always smiling! I do enjoy playing music whilst treating to create a relaxing environment, however whales and panpipes will not feature in my treatments (classical is more my thing). I am a self-confessed techno peasant but have wowed people at the clinic recently with an upgrade into the 21st century with an mp3 player – although my 9 year old had to download the music for me so I guess i’m not quite there yet!

I trained and worked originally as a registered Nurse in my native Sweden and Norway. I retrained and graduated in 2003 as a Chiropractor from the anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth. I loved being a nurse but felt like a small piece of a huge jigsaw. It was difficult to make significant changes to improve patient care and I found this frustrating. as a self-employed practitioner in two big complementary clinics I am able to bring my no-nonsense, friendly Scandinavian approach to my patients in a way that I feel is more personal, satisfying and rewarding.

It is important to me to educate my patients to help them understand what is wrong and how we can make it better with a combined approach of treatments, stretches, exercise and general advice concerning posture, sports and work.

I work closely with GPs and follow the Governments NiCE Clinical Guidelines as I feel that it is important to work within an evidence based framework. As a result I use manipulation, clinical acupuncture and soft tissue techniques and use gentle modified versions of these techniques when working with elderly patients, pregnant women and children. My motto at work is: ‘prevention is better than cure!’ Many of my patients come for bi-monthly or quarterly treatments when the acute phase of the injury is over. This helps to prevent injuries recurring and gives me a chance to monitor how patients are coping with work, sport and life in general. It also allows me to advise and modify exercises and stretches. I specialise in treating headaches and migraines and helping these patients is something I feel very passionate about.

Aside from the treatment, patients often need advice on what medication is most appropriate. Communication with the patient’s GP often helps to ensure that they are getting the latest treatment available in accordance with the new guidelines. I also look at stress, lifestyle, diet, posture, muscle and joint dysfunction. My interest in migraines started when I saw my mother suffer from them when I was a child. This lead to me completing courses and making it the subject of my thesis for my Master’s degree (‘Dietary triggers in Migraine’). I come from a very sports mad Swedish/Danish family and grew up in Stockholm doing a lot of sports (football, horse riding, orienteering, skiing and snowboarding). This has given me a lifelong love of sports and outdoor living, and luckily I married Simon who loves sports as much as I do! We are currently walking the Cotswold Way and are both enjoying the fantastic countryside so much. Travel and food are other passions and we are always on the look out for the next good place to eat or buy ingredients. We live in an old cottage in Nailsworth.

As a qualified foot health practitioner, I recognise the importance of maintaining a healthy and regular foot care routine. I have recently qualified in understanding the care and Management of Diabetes (RQF). Over the course of my career I have established skills and methods to help clients. However, one can never stop learning and I strive to keep up to date with new and innovative treatments to apply to my work. On a one to one basis, I like to access my clients holistically to establish causes for ongoing issues, discussing and identifying underlying causes. My ultimate aim is to provide relief, improve mobility and eliminate discomfort. When not practicing, I love walking in the countryside with my dog (Nellie) and spending time with my two grown daughters. Here are some of the things I can help with: Corn and hard skin (callus) removal Nail trimming Athletes foot Fungal and thick nails Cracked heels Foot massage Diabetic foot checks Painful feet and heel advice Partial nail removal I also offer verruca removal with a new therapeutic treatment called VERRUTOP. This is a precise and effective treatment from the very first use. It is also a well-tolerated treatment which does not interfere with daily life and can be used on children six years upwards

Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised in China and other Eastern countries for thousands of years.

Although often described as a means of pain relief, it is in fact used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses. Its focus is on improving the overall wellbeing of the patient, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.

On your first visit Sally will talk you through the procedure and your visit will take about two hours, visits after that usually last 1¼ hours.
