About Your Physiotherapist

My name is Natasha Whieldon and I graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 1992 with a BSc (hons) Physiotherapy. 

I am a Chartered and HCPC-registered physiotherapist. My training in acupuncture started in 1993 and I am a member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP). Since graduating I have worked in NHS hospitals with 2 years spent practising in New Zealand in the 1990s where my love of community physiotherapy began. 

On return to the UK, I chose to specialise in working in the community setting in Manchester, North Yorkshire and Cheshire. Visiting patients in their own home allows me to get a comprehensive overview of their needs and together we can discuss goals and outcomes. 

Being invited to a patient’s homes allows me to conduct a more holistic assessment. Community physiotherapy can be valuable for patients who struggle to travel, live in a care home or just find it more convenient for a physio to come to their home.
