Kirsten graduated from Nottingham in 2001 and has worked with many complex neurological clients within the NHS and the private sector. She has worked in community settings including care homes, specialist rehabilitation clinics, domiciliary settings as well as in-patient facilities.
Kirsten specialises in Neurological and Aquatic Physiotherapy.
Kirsten employs a combination of hands-on therapy (Bobath and Neuromuscular Energising Therapy (NET)) and technology. Kirsten has also undergone further post-graduate training in Aquatic Physiotherapy for Neurological Conditions and treats neurological clients in the hydrotherapy pool. She is also accredited under the ATACP (Aquatic Therapy Association of Chartered Physiotherapists), and has undertaken training in the Halliwick Concept which is an approach to teaching all people, in particular, focusing on those with physical and/or learning difficulties, to take part in water activities, to move independently in water, and to swim.
Kirsten has completed Matwork Level 1,2,3 of the APPI pilates training and uses the concept to compliment her therapy approach.
Kirsten has developed a special interest in the long-term management of Polio survivors suffering with Post polio Syndrome. She has been awarded the Paul Harris Fellowship by Rotary International for her implementation of weekly group based aquatic therapy and exercise classes, and has been invited as a guest speaker the British polio Fellowship AGM.
When Kirsten is not at work you will find her swimming, dancing or practising yoga. She loves being outdoors walking her dog or camping and she is also a keen artist.
