Mrs C. Watkins Grad Dip (Phys), MCSP

Claire’s area of expertise is with clients who have neurological problems or complex needs as a result of several illnesses. She enjoys working with people who have suffered from strokes, Parkinsons, MS and other neurological conditions and is able to provide ongoing rehabilitation in their own home. She is also very experienced in treating people with complex medical needs who would either benefit from ongoing help with mobility, or those who require short term input to get them back on their feet again after a stay in hospital. Claire is able to work with carers to advise on the best and safest ways for carers to look after their clients in a way that maximises their rehabilitation without injury to the carer.
