Registered Physiotherapist with Over 30 Years’ Experience
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.
Associate Physiotherapist with Over 20 Years’ Experience
My name is Karen Oxley and I am a Chartered and HCPC-registered physiotherapist with over 20 years experience working in hospitals, community services and patient’s homes.
I hold a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy from the University of Salford and I also work part-time as an NHS paediatric physiotherapist.
I have a strong background in neurological, general rehabilitation and elderly care, supporting patients to improve mobility, function and independence. I enjoy working with patients in their own homes, where treatment can be tailored to everyday routines and meaningful goals. My focus is to help patients move with confidence, stay independent and feel well supported throughout their rehabilitation.
Associate Physiotherapist with Over 20 Years’ Experience
My name is Louise Garner and I have been practising physiotherapy for over 20 years in hospital, outpatient and community settings as part of the NHS.
I graduated from Coventry University with a BSc (Hons) degree in 2003. I am registered with the HCPC and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.
For the last 15 years, I have been mainly community-based, with a particular focus on neurological conditions and rehabilitation. I have extensive experience in assessing and treating clients in their own homes. I believe this approach allows me to provide a well-rounded and meaningful assessment based on your day-to-day needs, enabling me to develop a treatment programme tailored to your individual goals.
Associate Physiotherapist with Over 15 Years’ Experience
My name is Katie Lewin and I have enjoyed working as a physiotherapist within the NHS for the past 15 years. Since graduating from the University of Salford, I have gained extensive experience working across a range of clinical settings, including Leighton Hospital and the Countess of Chester Hospital. I currently work part-time at Ellesmere Port Hospital.
I specialise in musculoskeletal conditions, helping people manage joint and muscle pain, improve mobility and work on their balance and movement. I also have a particular interest in jaw-related conditions. I am registered with the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Temporomandibular Disorders (ACPTMD) and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
I provide thorough individual assessments, hands-on treatment and personalised exercise programmes tailored to each person's needs and goals. I believe in taking the time to listen, understand each individual's concerns and make people feel comfortable and at ease. My aim is to provide friendly, supportive and effective physiotherapy, helping you feel more confident, improve your mobility and get back to doing the things you enjoy.
