Being an ex-gymnast, Flexibility Matters Physiotherapy was born from firsthand experience with the injuries and frustrations of looking for Ģ��tv care for performers. Performers deserve care that meets you with clarity, structure, and belief in your return to performing.

I’ve trained in acupuncture, integrated movements method, acceptance and commitment therapy, aerial yoga & yoga therapy, and I integrate these treatment methods into our holistic patients’ care.

Through her dancing, Chloe has a strong understanding of ballet technique and of its demands on the body. As a physio she does specific rehab towards ballet goals and movement, and deals with dance injuries in all genres. She is currently training as a Vocal Physio.

“I know the pressures on both mind and body and how these both interact as well as how this is sometimes missed in training and working. Having been a dancer quietly carrying injuries, retraining as a physiotherapist has allowed me to full circle back into the industry and enables me to help other dancers have long healthy careers”.
