All injuries have an impact on daily life. The rehabilitation process is often long, hard work and frustrating. Patients are often limited in their favourite activities and this frustration can lead to periods of inactivity. This can result in a prolonged rehabilitation period.

Working as part of your rehabilitation team, Sarah will communicate with your therapist(s) to ensure your efforts (and those of your rehabilitation team) are maximised. This communication, coupled with knowledge of the injury, enables the strengthening of the supporting muscle structures and the maintenance/improvement of your fitness levels, without compromising the progress of the injured area.

Maintaining such strength and fitness can help to reduce the length of the rehabilitation period and can even facilitate progression of the injured area. Further to this, minor changes to the performance of your daily tasks can often bring relief from pain, enable rest for the injured musculature and therefore allow for a speedier recovery.

Sarah has worked as part of many multi-disciplinary teams and has played a role in the rehabilitation of patients with many different injuries/permanent conditions. Her experiences range from long-term injuries such as a 20 year old back injury and a 30 year old chondral injury, to ACL reconstruction, Achilles tendonitis, Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, AC joint separation, Hamstring tears, Arthritis and Cerebral Palsy to name a few. Sometimes her involvement has begun prior to operations and has continued throughout the rehabilitation process.

Communicating with all parties necessary will enable Sarah to ensure the most effective programme for your recovery throughout this period. Sessions will take place at your home or place of work, and all equipment will be brought to you.
