Jane Roberts, A dedicated and passionate Physiotherapist working in the Musculoskeletal field for over 10 years including Occupational Health and a Level 3 Personal Training Instructor (PTI).

Jane has a `hands on` approach to treating and also uses her PTI knowledge and skills along with my Physiotherapy experience to work with my patients to identify and maximise their ability to move and function. Functional movement is a key part of what it means to be healthy, and physiotherapy plays a key role in enabling people to improve their health, wellbeing and quality of life.
