About Me
My journey into physiotherapy began in my early youth when scoliosis and sports injuries led me to experience firsthand the benefits of rehabilitation. This personal experience deeply influenced my career choice.
Now, as a physiotherapist, I take great joy in working with my patients, applying a wide range of techniques to support their recovery and well-being.
We all know the frustration of limited movement and the impact it can have on daily life. My goal is to help you regain control over your body—because with movement comes strength, confidence, and happiness.
Beyond my work, I find my sense of balance and vitality in nature—whether hiking, biking, skiing, swimming, walking, practising yoga, or dancing.
I completed my physiotherapy training in 2003 in Magdeburg, Germany, and since then, I have gained extensive experience across a variety of settings, working with patients of all ages. My career has taken me from physiotherapy practices and rehabilitation centres to private clinics across Berlin and Munich. For eight years, I successfully ran a private practice before relocating to southwest England in 2022.
With 20 years of professional experience and HCPC recognition in the UK, I look forward to
supporting you on your journey to full mobility and well-being.
I’d Love to Support You

I am specialised and qualified in the following treatments
Manual Therapy
This is a treatment approach in which functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system are examined and treated in order to optimise the interaction between joints, muscles and nerves. This is done by using passive techniques as well as active exercises. On the one hand, blocked or restricted joints are mobilised using gentle techniques. On the other hand unstable joints can be stabilised through individual exercises.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
This is a manual treatment to stimulate your lymph flow with the aim of reducing swelling after surgery or after lymph node removal or in treating primary and secondary lymphedema. By breathing and by additional stimulation of distant lymph nodes a suction effect can be achieved that promotes the removal of tissue fluid. The tissue swells, the pain is relieved and the tissue becomes looser and softer, which also affects mobility.
Sports Physiotherapy
The target group is active athletes in the build-up phase, in daily training, or in rehabilitation after injuries or operations. The various treatment techniques of physiotherapy are used to create, maintain and rebuild the best health conditions. These procedures help to prevent injuries and optimally improve athletic performance.
Women's and men's health (Pelvic Floor Therapy)
The aim of pelvic floor therapy is to train our body awareness and to strengthen the musculature of the pelvic floor in order to ensure proper functioning of the bladder and sphincter muscles. An untrained or poorly trained pelvic floor can lead to a variety of problems.
Women can experience prolapse of the bladder and uterus because of pregnancy and childbirth, abdominal surgery, obesity and ageing. This can also lead to urinary incontinence or even faecal incontinence.
Because of their anatomy men are less likely to suffer from a weak pelvic floor. Pelvic floor training, however, is essential after operations such as prostatectomies. After these surgeries men are often incontinent and suffer from erectile dysfunction. Targeted pelvic floor training can significantly improve incontinence and impotence.
Medical Training Therapy
The term medical training therapy refers to targeted physical training under physiotherapeutic supervision to aid rehabilitation after injuries, or for the treatment of illnesses.
The aim is to improve methodically strength and local strength endurance in order to reduce existing activity limits.
Neurological Physio and Rehab (Bobath & PNF)
Physiotherapy on a neurophysiological basis includes the treatment of patients suffering from diseases of the central nervous system. These diseases may exhibit brain, spinal cord or spinal symptoms as well as peripheral paralysis, atrophic or dystrophic muscle changes. Treatment concepts for these diseases include PNF and Bobath. PNF and Bobath are often used:
after a stroke
after a traumatic brain injury or cerebral haemorrhage
for patients with multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s and other neurological and neuromuscular disorders.
TMJ Dysfunction (Jaw Therapy)
When the temporomandibular joint is misaligned the dysfunction can affect your entire body. Typical symptoms in this context are:
-Unilateral or bilateral headache or pain when chewing
-Teeth grinding and cracking in the jaw
-Neck and shoulder tension
-Back pain
-Tinnitus
-Decreased mouth opening
-Dizziness
Targeted therapy can help treat these symptoms. These include manual techniques, mobilisation, soft tissue techniques and stretching.
Massage / Deep Tissue Massage
This is a manual treatment that mechanically influences skin, connective tissue and muscles through stretching, pulling and pressure stimuli. The effect of the massage extends from the treated part of the body to the entire organism and also includes the psyche.
Kinesiology Tape
A kinesiology tape is a highly elastic fabric patch. In the case of injuries or inflammation of muscles, ligaments or joints, it serves to stabilise without restricting mobility. The main task of kinesiology tape is to activate and support the body’s self-healing powers. The positive stimulation caused by the tape reduces pain and improves blood circulation. In addition the tape supports and relieves the damaged muscle, ligament or joint; and can also support the lymphatic system.
Yoga Teacher
Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in ancient India. The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning “to yoke,” or “to unite”. The practice aims to create union between body, mind and spirit, as well as between the individual self and universal consciousness. Such a union tends to neutralise ego-driven thoughts and behaviours, creating a sense of spiritual awakening. Yoga has been practised for thousands of years, and whilst many different interpretations and styles have been developed, most tend to agree that the ultimate goal of yoga is to achieve liberation from suffering. Although each school or tradition of yoga has its own emphasis and practices, most focus on bringing together body, mind and breath as a means of altering energy or shifting consciousness. Yoga is also used as a therapeutic tool for many physical and mental conditions, and mind-body research is now demonstrating its effectiveness as a treatment for chronic pain, anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, to name but a few.
Pilates Instructor (postnatal & fascial training)
Pilates is a type of systematic full-mind-body workout to strengthen the muscles – primarily the pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles. It was developed in the early 20th century by the German physical trainer Joseph Pilates.
My Approach & Philosophy
A successful treatment begins with a deep understanding of your full medical history.
Following this, I conduct a thorough physical assessment to identify functional disorders,
tension, and mobility restrictions. Together, we will discuss the diagnosis and the most
suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Effective therapy requires awareness of underlying symptoms, their duration, and potential causes. By working collaboratively, we can address these issues and restore your well-being.
Each physiotherapy session lasts approximately 50 minutes, and successful outcomes rely on a strong partnership between patient and therapist.
I look forward to working with you.
Mareen.
