Biography
Amy is an experienced osteopath who gained an array of knowledge from working within three large multi-disciplinary rehabilitation clinics. This led to her specialising in rehabilitation for clients with neurological conditions and complex orthopaedic injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, stroke and complex fractures.
Due to her strong ethos on health and fitness, Amy is aware of how important it is to keep her body fit and healthy and has a strong interest in nutrition and sport. Her love for neurology and neuroscience came from carrying out human dissections in Oxford and from studying the complexities of neuroscience at university. This developed into a passion for striving to provide and implement the most sound and robust rehabilitation and return-to-work plans for her clients.
Amy’s skillset originates from her strong musculoskeletal, orthopaedic and integrated neurology background. Having been an osteopath in a range of disciplinary clinics, she has worked alongside experts in rehabilitation, which has provided her with insights into the most up-to-date rehabilitative technology and orthotics. This has enhanced her interest in proprietary and innovative technologies and her desire to make a tangible impact within the industry.
