Why did you become a physiotherapist?
Originally I fractured my spine and was exposed to the benefits of physio. Following that, I found a passion for the job and enjoyed the idea of helping people back to being pain free.

Lower back.
Dealing with 2 years of back pain in my younger years, I know how greatly it can effect ones health and mental wellbeing. So helping patients through their own back pain is greatly rewarding.

Kimberley Cochrane – Physiotherapist
How long have you been a physiotherapist for?

Why did you become a physiotherapist?
I injured my ankle when I was about 13 years old and was treated by my now boss, David Brown. I loved the vibe of the clinic and was shocked how quickly I improved. I chose to study physio to change peoples lives and help them live at the best function possible.

What is your favourite area of the body to treat?
The Knee! I had a run of frustrating knee issues in my late teens/early twenties. It is a complex structure and many factors can influence pain in this region, but I do love a challenge.

Why did you become a physiotherapist?
I am a keen sportsperson and enjoy health and fitness and was originally lured into the idea of working with sporting teams. I am also fascinated by the anatomy of the human body and liked the idea of being a part of rehabilitation.

What is your favourite area of the body to treat?
The ankle! I like the complexity of the lower limb and the way that an issue in the ankle can be caused by structures higher up the chain such as the hip and knee. There are also many ways to rehab the lower limb which can make for some interesting exercises!
