She has previously been a team leader providing physiotherapy for runners taking part in the London Marathon at the finish line. Claire has worked in private practice for over 17 years, both as a clinical lead physio and more recently as a director at Roundwood Health Clinic. Her clinical time is spent treating a variety of musculoskeletal joint and spinal problems, sporting injuries and chronic pain management. She continues to participate in courses and conferences to enhance her clinical skills which also include acupuncture for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. In her spare time Claire is a busy mum and enjoys the outdoors and running (she can regularly be seen “plodding” around her local park!).

She has held various positions within both the NHS and Private Sectors gaining a very wide range of experience. She has worked at Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and her most recent role was at Roundwood Health Clinic in Barnsley. Elizabeth’s special interests include spinal disorders, ergonomics and workplace wellbeing and post-operative rehabilitation. She is also trained in acupuncture and attends regular updates in this, and other, fields. Currently a “relapsed” runner, Elizabeth plans to get those running shoes back on in the very near future but also enjoys going to the gym and walking her dog in her spare time!
