Meet Sarah
Sarah is one of our Senior Physiotherapists with over 10 years of experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. She graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2015 and spent six years working in specialist NHS Musculoskeletal Outpatient services before joining Kendal Physio.
Sarah enjoys treating everything from everyday aches and pains to more complex or persistent musculoskeletal conditions. She has extensive experience helping people with back and neck pain, shoulder problems, hip and knee pain, tendon injuries, sports injuries and rehabilitation following orthopaedic surgery. She is particularly skilled at managing patients who have ongoing symptoms, have tried treatment elsewhere without success, or require a more detailed assessment and rehabilitation programme.
Her treatment combines hands-on therapy, personalised exercise rehabilitation, education and practical self-management strategies to help patients return to work, sport and the activities that matter most to them. Sarah believes that successful rehabilitation is about understanding each person’s individual goals and creating a plan that fits their lifestyle.
Alongside her physiotherapy degree, Sarah completed a three-year Master’s degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy and has undertaken further postgraduate training in Pilates instruction, sports massage, taping and kinesiology taping, myofascial release and a range of manual therapy techniques.
Sarah also leads our physiotherapist-led Pilates classes, using evidence-based exercise to help patients improve strength, movement and confidence while reducing their risk of future injury.
She has a particular interest in working with runners, horse riders, badminton players and patients looking to return to an active lifestyle after injury or surgery.
If you have a more complex problem, persistent pain, are recovering from surgery, have seen other healthcare professionals without finding the answers you’re looking for, or simply want the reassurance of seeing one of our most experienced clinicians, Sarah would be an excellent choice. Outside of work, Sarah is a keen badminton player, enjoys running (especially parkrun), and spends much of her free time with her two horses, training and competing in eventing. She also helps out on her family’s farm.
