About Kerry
Chartered Physiotherapist for private treatment in Kendal, Cumbria and Lancashire
History
I qualified from the Manchester School of Physiotherapy in 2001. Shortly after qualifying I commenced a Junior post in the NHS near Liverpool. My clinical experiences in this post were varied, including care of the elderly, stroke rehabilitation, respiratory care, musculoskeletal outpatients and burns and plastics.
I then took up a musculoskeletal rotation senior post where I spent seven months running an elective orthopaedic/day-care ward. Alongside this, I worked in an evening clinic, treating people with musculoskeletal disorders.
I then felt it was time for a change, mainly due to the fact that I wanted to move back into the area.
In December 2003 I started working in Occupational Health at Bae Systems Ltd in Barrow alongside an Occupational Health Physician, three Occupational Health Advisors and two other physiotherapists. This is an extremely varied and challenging job, where I am still employed on a part-time basis. My particular interest in this role is the ergonomic dimension to the management of the patient. I felt I would like to expand my practice and therefore started to consider private work. I started to work alongside Cath and Alex at this clinic in November 2005.
My particular interests are treating those with spinal problems, both acute and chronic in nature. I am also very keen to develop my knowledge in the assessment and management of shoulder pathologies.
I too continue to develop professionally and frequently participate in post-graduate training. I also regularly attend and present in-service training sessions. If you have any further questions please ask!!
