B. Physiotherapy (Hons), La Trobe University, Australia 1998
Miffy has been working for almost 30 years in the field of Sports and Orthopaedics, in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, England and the UAE. In the UAE alone, she has worked for almost 20 years.
Her special interests have always been around the mechanics of the body, and her physio philosophy is ‘Improve the way the body moves, and you improve the condition’. Her favourite areas are lower limb injuries, especially knee injuries, particularly if they are related to her personally preferred sports – running, skiing, tennis and CrossFit.
She has extensive knowledge and experience with tendon pathology, particularly long standing, failed tendons, as well as post-surgical rehab for knees and ankles. Miffy’s main treatment utilises education, manual therapy and exercise – for strength, mobility, balance, power, coordination, return to sport, taping and some dry needling. Her assessment is biomechanical in nature, looking for what movements or structures are contributing to the problem, then helping you to address it.
Outside getting you better, Miffy keeps active with hiking, tennis and the gym, looking after her dog and the clinic cats, Kitten and Ed. She travels whenever there is an opportunity, and sometimes when there isn’t, and skis every winter.
