Rachael is an experienced Chartered Physiotherapist since 1993 with experience of clinical practice within the NHS, private and third sector. She is a specialist musculoskeletal practitioner and has worked within A & E, Orthopaedics and Rheumatology, gaining a masters level qualification in Rheumatological Care from Keele University, where she also worked as a lecturer on the under-graduate Physiotherapy degree course. During the early corona virus pandemic, Rachael worked within the acute NHS setting to assist in the respiratory care and rehabilitation of patients on acute medical and orthopaedic wards.

Rachael is currently working in private clinical practice, and as a locum Physiotherapist, within the NHS. She has training in a multi-faceted approach in managing musculoskeletal conditions and stays current by attending clinical practice updates and the annual Physiotherapy UK conference. A term serving on the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Council, offered further opportunities to develop as a confident public speaker both at conferences and within the media.
