What’s the difference between seeing the Clinical Director and a Standard Physiotherapist?

Our Clinical Director has over 15 years of experience, specialising in treating complex and chronic conditions. Their expertise allows for advanced assessment and management of persistent or hard-to-diagnose issues. An appointment with the Clinical Director is £130.Our Senior Physiotherapists also have the highest qualifications, holding medical degrees and extensive clinical experience. They are highly skilled in assessing and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal problems. An appointment with a Standard Physiotherapist is £99.

Should I opt for an ultrasound too?

If you have a suspected tear to a muscle, ligament or a tendon issue in any joints, apart for the back, then this is a great place to start. You will gain a clear diagnosis from the scan and physio assessment to get you started on the correct pathway immediately

Which option should I choose?

If you have a long-term, complex, or recurring condition, or have seen multiple practitioners without lasting improvement, the Clinical Director may be the best choice. If your injury or pain is more recent or straightforward, a Senior Physiotherapist will still provide excellent, evidence-based care.

Will my treatment plan be different depending on who I see?

Your treatment will always be tailored to you, regardless of who you see. Both the Clinical Director and Standard Physiotherapists work to the same high standards, using a personalised approach to help you achieve your goals.

Biography

Hi, I’m Tracey. If you’re dealing with leaks, a feeling of heaviness, pelvic pain, or a body that doesn’t feel like yours since having children, you’re not alone — and there is almost always something we can do about it.

I’ve been a physiotherapist for 18 years and work across the full range of pelvic health: bladder and bowel symptoms, pelvic and bladder pain, including vaginismis, pelvic organ prolapse, pregnancy and postnatal recovery, rehabilitation after gynaecological surgery, and the pelvic floor changes that come with menopause. Many women arrive having been told to just live with it, or that surgery is the only option. That’s rarely the whole picture.

Prolapse and pessary fitting are a particular specialism of mine. I fit a wide range of pessaries including rings, cubes and Gellhorns, so if a standard ring hasn’t worked or hasn’t stayed in place, there are other options worth trying. I also run training courses teaching other healthcare professionals how to fit pessaries.

Every plan starts with a thorough assessment and is built around your symptoms and goals, usually combining hands-on treatment, pelvic floor rehabilitation and clear, practical advice you can use at home. Where it helps, I can add MAPLe biofeedback, which shows in real time which muscles are underworking or overworking. This can include neuromuscular stimulation treatment, when required, for a variety of different injuries. For more information on MAPLe. https://www.novuqare.com/

From elite sport to everyday life

Before physiotherapy I rowed for Great Britain at U23 level and won gold for England at the Commonwealth Games. I’ve since worked with elite rugby players, rowers, footballers, cyclists and CrossFit athletes. I enjoy working with elite athletes and currently run the Harlequins Women pelvic health program at the club. Whether your goal is running, lifting, or simply getting through the day without worrying about pelvic health related symptoms I’ll help you get there.

Tracey has two children and experienced both C-section and vaginal deliveries.

Pregnancy preparation is a passion of mine; I can support you in preparing for birth whether it’s a planned C-Section or a vaginal delivery. We can discuss what to expect and teach you effective perineal massage techniques.

I can also teach you scar support and recovery following a C-Section.

I know pelvic health can feel awkward to talk about. I’ll explain everything clearly, go at your pace, and never make you feel rushed.

Strongly recommended ! I started going to Move after various niggles to ankle and calf has stopped me from running. I had tried other physios previously without success but Move did the trick. Alex was very patient and knowledgeable. She diagnosed lots of issues and gave me a varied program of strength exercises which have got me back to enjoying running. Great job, thank you very much !

Emily Faulkner has been helping me with a knee problem I’ve been putting up with for years. Having listened to her expert advice over the last few months to my astonishment it has worked! Pain free and just ran a half marathon. Thank you Emily!

I have been seeing Eva for a block of sessions and have been extremely pleased with the progress I’ve made. She carefully increased the difficulty of the exercises over time, making each session appropriately more advanced and challenging, always with the aim of improving my overall condition. Eva took my underlying issues fully into account, working around them to ensure they were improved rather than aggravated, while still addressing weaknesses and correcting imbalances. She explained things clearly and equipped me with exercises and techniques that I can continue to use independently in my day‑to‑day life. She did not make the process easy, and at times it felt like I was being pushed beyond my limits. However, it always turned out that she had pushed me to exactly the point I needed to reach. I am very grateful for that approach—without challenge, there is no progression.

Great physio and PT

Christopher Knight

I came to see Patrick for isolated pain in my upper back, and the results have been transformative. He has a sharp ability to pinpoint the root cause of discomfort rather than just treating the surface symptoms. He also greatly improved my overall mobility; I feel more fluid and capable in my daily movements than I have for a long time. He explains the "why" behind every movement, making the whole process engaging and effective. If you’re dealing with specific pain or just feel stiff and need to move better, I can't recommend him enough. He’s a top-tier clinician and a great person to work with.

Philip Hines

A recommendation: Emily Faulkner has been brilliant, very professional yet affable, and clearly evidence-based. The best physio I have had.

Shikha Sharma

I started having sessions at Move Physio to bring some routine exercise and strength training into my week. Work was busy and I was finding it difficult to find the time to exercise and kept putting it off. My main goal was to start weights to generally become stronger. One year on I am still attending sessions with Hannah who is a brilliant, fun, informative instructor who is mad about exercise! She’s super enthusiastic, has helped me develop a personalised routine and help me improve my overall strength and fitness. Her sessions are a genuine highlight of my week and keep me motivated to keep going!

Carole C

I had a number of physio sessions with Alex, who is very warm and friendly. Alex has given me exercises to strengthen and support against the issues with my back and hip. The exercises are easily within my capability, but with more precision on their execution which helps enormously. Alex is also mindful of not making the regime too much of a burden that they put me off doing them. The exercises have been really useful and I can continue with them long term to help to avoid further flare ups. I am very pleased I went to see Alex at Move Physio - highly recommended.

Ric Jo

Working with Emily Faulkner through recovery of my broken collarbone was fantastic. Throughout the process she was atentful, very apparoachable and a great professional: my continuous improvement was there to see and feel after every session, and Emily helped me get back to as full normality as possible. Highly recommended!

Suzanne Olson

Every aspect of the care I received from Patrick and the team at Move Physio was brilliant from the first phone call with the reception staff, through each appointment, the exercises, ease of rearranging appointments and so much more. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience and am so thankful I made the decision to access the care of Move Physio following a complex break of my dominant arm. Thank you Patrick for encouraging me, giving me confidence that I could not harm myself if I used my injured arm in certain ways and for challenging me to achieve so much more than I thought possible. I highly recommend Move Physio to anyone needing this kind of treatment. It is one of the best investments I have ever made.
