Louise qualified in 1980 and established the clinic in 1998, having worked within the NHS, private sector and at Rosslyn Park Rugby Club. While working for the NHS she was responsible for day to day running of a physio outpatient department. She has been a clinical mentor for the MACP. At London 2012 Olympics, she enjoyed volunteering as a physio in the Athletes Village, Medical centre. She is also a member of the Musculoskeletal Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (MACP).

Her special interests include post-operative rehabilitation and the treatment of shoulders, knees, tendinopathies, soft tissue injuries & spinal pain. Over her many years of work, she has gained experience in the treatment of many conditions and injuries. She lists exercise, manual therapy and dry needling among her treatment tools. Listening to her client’s story and facilitating self-help strategies to support long lasting results are central to her approach. Louise also believes you are never too old to exercise, or to return to a more active lifestyle if you take sensible measures and advice. Her treatment programmes when appropriate make use of the Hogarth’s extensive gym facilities.

Louise’s pitch side work in rugby was invaluable in honing her diagnostic skills. To maintain her evidence-based practice she is constantly updating her skills and treatments. Her passion for physiotherapy and supporting people back to good health and fitness is why she is still in practice.

Louise has two grown up sons and spent many years fixing their rugby and cricket injuries and supporting from the sidelines! Having participated in many sports earlier in her career, with more time available in recent years, she has resumed running, started walking 5k to work and exercise classes. She also loves her garden.
