Background & experience

Clinical experience.
A wider perspective.

Dee is a sports therapist with a BSc (Hons). NHS rehabilitation, professional education and independent practice have each shaped how she works with clients.

NHS clinical foundations.

Dee worked as an Advanced Physiotherapy Assistant at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. In elderly inpatient rehabilitation, she supported patients working to regain physical independence and everyday function. Seeing the practical challenges of recovery broadened her understanding of how health, ability and individual circumstances affect progress.

That experience still informs her assessments: understanding what someone needs to do in daily life, listening to the difficulties they face and recognising what may help or hinder their progress.

Putting education
into practice.

Performance Specialist & Master Educator.

At Therabody, Dee delivered practical mobility education, led classes and demonstrated products and recovery technologies.

She worked with public, professional and commercial audiences, each with different needs and levels of experience. Explaining how technologies work and demonstrating their use developed her ability to turn technical knowledge into practical guidance.

Ascension · Independent practice

Beyond the
treatment room.

Ascension’s early pop-up work brought individual treatment into a community setting. Organised independently through AST, it extended Dee’s practice beyond the clinic.

At Ascension, NHS rehabilitation experience and professional education come together in clinical assessment, hands-on treatment, injury rehabilitation and physical performance support.

Clinical reasoning connects the findings to the person. Dee selects tests to answer useful questions, interprets results alongside your history and goals, and explains the options before you agree what comes next.
