Our clinic in Rhodes, Greece has expanded and Jane intends to spend more time in the sunshine over the next couple of years - all being well. Look out for the Courses we are planning to run.

 

JANE SUTTON

Lead Therapist

Jane qualified as a physiotherapist in 1983 (yes it was that long ago!).

Initially she specialised in Learning Disability and Neurology, then moved into Rheumatology, Hydrotherapy and Out-Patients combined with a Physiotherapy Management role at North Tees Hospital in 1990.

​The private practice was set up in Guisborough in 1996.

Jane has always had an interest in long-term pain conditions and nerve involvement, so studied Acupuncture in 1985, then Neuro-Patho Dynamics, and added Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Somato-Emotional Release from 1997.

This provides her with a unique toolbox to choose from in designing individual treatment programmes. As a result of the effectiveness of this approach all therapists at Physioplus+ now offer combined treatments.

 

LYDIA GARDNER

Senior Therapist

Lydia qualified as a physiotherapist in Germany/Holland in 2004, specialising initially in Neurology, Rheumatology and Musculo-Skeletal Treatment.

She moved to the UK in 2005 and worked in the care industry for 6 years before moving to work at Physioplus+ in 2011.

Since working at Physioplus+ Lydia has trained in Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Somato-Emotional Release, and Neuro-Patho Dynamics.

Like Jane, she is passionate about her work, and has a special interest in complex and long-standing pain conditions.

RYAN GARRETT

Sports Therapist

Ryan qualified from Leeds Metropolitan University in 2014 and joined Physioplus+ in 2017. His experience has included work with professional footballers, rugby players and cricketers.

Massage Therapy and 10 Step Cranio-Sacral Therapy for body re-balancing and relaxation are Ryan's key focus.

It is clear where his passion for sport, exercise and sporting rehabilitation comes from. He also does Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Ju Jitsu when he is allowed time off from Physioplus+!

For the period to the end of February 2018, Ryan is offering preferential rates for 10 Step Therapy treatments and massage.

CHRISTINE HARLAND

Practice Manager

Christine worked in the offices of a local road haulage company for over twenty years before joining Physioplus+ as Practice Manager in 2002.

Her job is to welcome you to the practice, book appointments and attempt to manage the therapists at Physioplus+.

In addition, Christine takes care of accounts, insurance company documentation, record keeping and all the paperwork involved in running a busy practice.
