Mary Barnes Physiotherapy

I am a Chartered Physiotherapist based at Malvern College Sports Complex with over 25 years experience and will work with you, to help you recover after injury or illness. If you have pain that started without a specific injury, gradually increasing, I will help you identify what the problem is and work with you to resolve it. I use a combination of therapeutic techniques and advice to help your injured tissue recover more quickly. Working with you, I will help you to stretch, mobilise and strengthen your joints, soft tissue and muscles, correcting imbalances that may have occurred. I work with the cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms.
