“I believe in meeting people where they are—not just physically, but in terms of their goals and motivation. Understanding what matters to someone is the first step to helping them achieve it.”

Lucy is a versatile physiotherapist covering the Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Ringwood areas. Her dual expertise in neurology and respiratory care makes her particularly valuable for clients with complex conditions, and her training in Motivational Interviewing helps her connect with clients who may be struggling with motivation or confidence.

Training & Early Career

Lucy graduated from Cardiff University in 2013 and completed her junior rotations at Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals. This gave her a strong foundation across neurology, elderly care, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and orthopaedics—a breadth of experience that serves her well when working with clients who have multiple health issues.

Neurological Specialism

Lucy then specialised in neurology, gaining a senior role working with patients with stroke, Parkinson’s, and MS in both acute and community settings. She has worked at an inpatient rehabilitation centre in Bournemouth, giving her insight into intensive rehabilitation programmes and what’s achievable with the right support.

Respiratory Expertise

Alongside her work for Medella, Lucy currently works in Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Dorset Healthcare. She is also completing a diploma in the management of chronic respiratory disease. This means she’s well-equipped to help clients with COPD, bronchiectasis, or breathing difficulties alongside their mobility goals.

Commitment to Learning

Lucy is a qualified Pilates instructor and has completed additional courses in Movement Science and Motivational Interviewing. She’s committed to evidence-based practice and continually updates her skills to offer the best possible care to her clients.
