Meet the team
Jenny Manners MCSP – Principal Physiotherapist
"I am fortunate to love my job, being a physiotherapist allows me to assess what may be causing people pain and discomfort, use a variety of techniques to address the problem and ultimately aim to discharge them from my care symptom free. Physiotherapy is about restoring normal function which involves assessing all of the body's systems. There are people who are in daily discomfort because of back or neck conditions or joint problems, who can have their symptoms alleviated if not totally resolved by visiting a physiotherapist."
