usan graduated as a Physiotherapist from The University of Cape Town in 1995. She initially gained experience working within in-patient and out-patient settings in the private sector in South Africa. This then enabled her to establish and run her own private practice in South Africa before relocating to the UK.

Once settled in the UK Susan worked for 5 years in the Outpatient Department at The Wellington Hospital, London. Whilst there she was clinical lead of the Hydrotherapy Service.

With 27 years of clinical experience in the field of musculo-skeletal medicine Susan has developed a special interest in injuries and surgery to the knee and ankle joints and spinal complaints.

Throughout her career Susan has sought clinical excellence through post-graduate courses. She incorporates these areas of expertise into treatment sessions to assist rehabilitation, looking at the ‘whole person’ and how lifestyle and stress can affect physical symptoms. Other techniques used include: electrotherapy, joint manipulations, soft tissue techniques such as stretches and massage, exercise and sport rehabilitation, postural adjustments and ergonomic/kinetic handling re-education.

Susan is a member of Physiofirst.

Who are BodyCheck MOTs for?
Looking for a health check but not sure if you need to go the whole hog with blood tests, hormones tests and the rest? 30% percent of trips to the GP in the UK are for MSK conditions. Left untreated, MSK conditions can develop into persistent pain, impaired mobility and function, and poor mental well-being, which lead to other illnesses such as depression, diabetes, arthritis, obesity, and more. Our BodyCheck MOT is a thorough head-to-toe screening of your body’s strength, flexibility and mobility, designed to identify and prevent weaknesses and imbalances that could trigger unwanted symptoms, complaints and illnesses further down the line. Whether you’ve got a niggling ache, or you simply want peace of mind in how your body is tracking, then a BodyCheck MOT is for you.
What happens during a BodyCheck MOT?

Our BodyCheck MOT runs for 45 minutes, during which time we’ll perform a series of specific tests and measurements to analyse how your body moves and functions.

The tests will include:

  • Strength testing
  • Movement testing
  • Flexibility testing
  • Body and postural analysis

The tests will measure a series of key functional muscle and joint movements, as well as those specific to daily activities, to assess your range and strength. This will allow us to identify any risks of  MSK conditions or injury, and room for improvement. 

Tapping into insights from your BodyCheck MOT report, we’ll also deliver a bespoke plan that you can take away with you to nip symptoms in the bud before they develop into something that might prevent you from feeling at your very best now, or in months to come. The plan will include arange of exercises for biomechanical correction, mobilisation and strengthening – all tailored to you and your needs.
