ABOUT ME
My name is Jo and I am a physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience in rehabilitation. Two of my big work passions are supporting people with long term neurological conditions, and people with cancer.
When I was 21, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer and I was catapulted into the role of carer. After a short and difficult cancer journey, we found ourselves navigating the world of palliative care, before he passed away at the age of just 52.
This was life-changing for me (in many ways). The care and support we received during that time were instrumental in my choice to study physiotherapy. My experience of having a terminal diagnosis in the family and of being a young carer have shaped how I approach rehabilitation.
My rehab philosophies:
- I believe that rehab should be totally bespoke to you – who you are, what matters to you, and what you want to achieve.
- Life is short and there is a lot to do – Good rehab should focus on your priorities, and sometimes requires thinking outside the box.
- I believe rehab should centre around the things that bring you joy and meaning. That may be family and friends, it may be hobbies or passions like painting or sport, it may be work, or it may be maintaining your independence.
- Rehabilitation should include everyone who is important to the person at the centre of it, and should consider support for carers too.
Career Path
Career path
I graduated as a Physiotherapist from Kings College London in 2004.
I started my career as a rotational physiotherapist at Kings College Hospital, then progressed to specialised in neurology and vestibular rehab at The Royal London Hospital for 5 years.
After I had my first child, I moved to work with people living with long term neurological conditions in the community. After my second child I moved to The Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital to specialise in neuro-oncology where I have been working for nearly 10 years. In 2023 I was awarded a distinction in my Masters Degree in Neurological Physiotherapy from University College London (UCL).
Currently I work part time in the NHS at The Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital, in the neuro-oncology unit, a nationally recognised as a centre of excellence for treatment and rehabilitation for people with brain and spine cancer. The Royal Marsden is also a regional unit for people with vestibular schwannoma who are treated with radiotherapy, and rehabilitation in vestibular schwannoma is an area of special interest for me. Alongside my clinical work, I have undertaken an MSc in Neurological physiotherapy. My research project for this was investigating the vestibular symptoms of people with vestibular schwannoma.
I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and am registered with the HCPC (registration number PH68620)
I am also a member of the following special interest groups:
- Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Vestibular Rehabilitation (ACPIVR)
- Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Oncology and Palliative Care (ACPOPC)
- Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Neurology (ACPIN)
Outside of work
I live by the river with my husband, 2 kids and 2 cats in a house we have just finished renovating. I love to paint, and I usually have several creative projects on the go.
I love being physically active but I am not a natural exerciser. It took me a long time to realise that you have to find the exercise or physical activity that you love to do in order to get the most out of it and stick with it. I love walking (but only fast), Pilates, strength training, body combat, and padel-boarding.
