Physiotherapy and Sports Massage Treatments in Hartley Wintney

Jess Zahra

Senior Physiotherapist | MSc MCSP SRP

My Background
I came to the UK in 2008 to study Sports and Exercise Science. During my studies, I was offered the chance to shadow a physiotherapist. I loved the experience and by the end of that day, I had decided that it was the career for me. I went on to do my Masters in Physiotherapy and I have never looked back, always enjoying learning about anatomy, biomechanics, medical conditions and injuries.

Upon completing my Masters, I began my career in the NHS, rotating as a respiratory physiotherapist, as well as working in neurology rehabilitation and post-surgical wards. Although I enjoyed developing myself as an all rounded physio I knew that my true interests had always been in Musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Therefore, I decided to specialise as an MSK physio. I performed this roll for 8 years in an NHS Trust where I became a senior physiotherapist, responsible for supervision of junior physios and teaching physiotherapy students

My time in the NHS has exposed me to patients with chronic pain, acute injuries, post operative rehabilitation and pregnancy related pains. It has taught me to treat the body holistically, understanding that pain has multiple levels and sources and it is important to diagnose correctly in order to manage appropriately. I also had the opportunity to work closely with spinal, upper limb and lower limb specialists.

Qualifications & Experience

I have a Bachelor’s degrees in Sports and Exercise science which I then followed with my Masters in Physiotherapy. I am qualified in Sports massage which I use regularly in my practice with patients as well as at sporting events such as the London marathon for pre and post sports massage.

Another qualification that I feel has greatly added to my practice is my training in acupuncture under the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP). I have found acupuncture to be an effective tool to help calm down pain and subsequently enable patients to rehabilitate to their full potential via exercise and life style changes.

My skills range from exercise prescription, manual therapy, soft tissue release, taping, acupuncture and electrotherapy provision such as ultrasound treatment. I have a lot of experience managing patients suffering from neck and lower back pain. I have previously run Pilates and lower limb strengthening classes which I really enjoyed as I could see the improvements within my patients on a weekly basis.

Specialisms

Long term pain relief and self-management tools
Sports specific rehabilitation: As a keen runner, tennis player and snowboarder, I have personal experiences in sporting injuries. I know how sports and exercise is so important for physical and mental health and therefore feel passionate about helping others overcome injuries and achieve their full potential.
Joint-specific care: I particularly enjoy treating shoulders, elbows and hips as well as spinal problems. I believe in looking not only at the local problem but the importance of looking further up the kinetic chain to improve general body function.

How I like to recharge and reset

I have always enjoyed sports and exercise. I played competitive tennis from a young age. Growing up in the alps I was also a keen skier and snowboarder. I enjoy swimming, climbing and running, and have completed sprint triathlons and half marathons. I also have a good understanding of golf thanks to my father who is a golf fanatic and got me playing from a young age. He also contributed to my professional development due to his never-ending list of MSK injuries!

I have two young children, aged 3 and 5 years old, who keep me very busy, as well as a lovely German Shepherd who I love walking and running with.

Tamsyn Jackson

Senior Physiotherapist | BSc (Hons) MSc PGDip PGCert MAACP CSP RAF

My Background
My interest in Physiotherapy began after receiving treatment for injuries sustained whilst representing Great Britain in Judo. After graduating from The University of the West of England, Bristol in 2005, I spent 2 years working for the NHS at Dorset County Hospital, Dorchester before joining the Royal Air Force in 2007 as a Physiotherapy Officer, serving with the military until 2023.

Qualifications & Experience
During my time in the RAF, I worked in many different locations and practices throughout the UK and abroad, treating a wide variety of patients and conditions collaboratively with consultants, surgeons, pain specialists and podiatrists and gained a vast wealth of neuromusculoskeletal, sport and occupational injury experience and knowledge. This gave me an excellent understanding of where Physiotherapy fits into a sometimes highly complex treatment and rehabilitation pathway as well as when to refer patients for scanning / specialist opinions and podiatry. I utilise every treatment option available to deliver the best care I possibly can to my patients.

I am an extremely conscientious individual who believes in providing the highest standard of care to patients and consequently look to improve my knowledge at every opportunity. As well as keeping up to date with the current research, I have completed a multitude of post graduate qualifications in: Acupuncture, Pilates (including ante and post-natal women), a postgraduate Certificate in Musculoskeletal medicine, a postgraduate Diploma in Advancing Physiotherapy practice and a Master’s Degree with Distinction in Sports Injury Rehabilitation. My experience, alongside these qualifications, has made me a skilled clinician in a multitude of assessment techniques and treatments.

I am very passionate about not only the injury or problem presented at the clinic, but the person as a whole, addressing any predisposing factors and assisting a full recovery alongside empowering the individual to prevent reoccurrence in the long term.

Specialisms

Sports Injuries – treating injuries related to a wide range of sports, helping athletes recover and perform at their best

How I like to recharge and reset
As a previous international athlete, being healthy and active is very important to me and I love getting outside for a run at any opportunity.

Now a working mum of 2 toddlers, I truly understand how difficult fitting exercise into your week can be, as any time I have is spent looking after and making memories with them. I am therefore very proactive in helping patients fit this and their necessary rehabilitation and recovery into their busy lives.

Rebecca Hardman

Senior Physiotherapist | BSc (Hons) MCSP SRP

My Background
My journey to becoming a physiotherapist started when I received treatment for back pain as a Junior International rower, where the ability to assist in reducing pain and enhance performance really impressed me.

I joined the Military, having completed my Physiotherapy Degree, keen to work in a challenging environment with motivated individuals requiring high levels of performance. Although exposed to a wide range of injuries, they were predominantly occupationally related, either trauma or overuse, or as a result of training or recreational sport.

Qualifications & Experience
I graduated from the University of Wales, Cardiff in 1997 with a degree in Physiotherapy. During an 18 year military career as a physiotherapist I gained considerable Musculoskeletal, Sports, Training and Occupational Injury experience including working alongside Orthopaedic Surgeons and Sports Physicians to ensure the return to pre-injury activities and reaching performance goals was achieved.

Working in a Multidisciplinary Injury Assessment Clinic alongside specialists including Orthopaedic Surgeons, Sports Physicians, GP’s, Podiatrists, and Sports Therapists, has given me an excellent understanding of the rehabilitation process and all the potential pathways available. My aim is always to deliver accurate assessment, diagnosis and appropriate treatment interventions, utilising imaging, biomechanics assessment or onward referral to specialists as required.

With a vast experience of Back, Lower limb and Shoulder problems, some chronic conditions will need more in-depth assessment of movement dysfunction and muscle imbalances to get to the real cause. In developing an individualised treatment plan I utilise a variety of techniques including soft tissue manual therapies, trigger point release, Pilates, mobilisation and pain management advice.

I believe in empowering clients through imparting knowledge and gaining self-awareness and I offer strategies to resolve their condition effectively and help identify realistic lifestyle adaptations in order to manage longer term conditions.

Specialisms

Manual Therapy Techniques – using hands-on treatment methods to reduce pain, restore mobility, and support healing
Treating Horse Riders – tailored treatment for equestrians, addressing postural imbalances, core stability, and riding-related injury
Complex Injury – managing multi-layered or long-standing injuries with a comprehensive, problem-solving approach

How I like to recharge and reset
I focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and keep active with my two children and walking our two dogs. As a keen horse rider I also have an interest in working with riders and their particular challenges.

Pia Barrass

Senior Physiotherapist | BSc(Hons) MCSP SRP

My Background
I graduated from the University of Cape Town in 1995, and worked in inpatient orthopaedics and outpatient settings before relocating to England in 2001. Since then I’ve worked in the NHS as well as in a private hospital outpatient department where I took the role of clinical lead before moving into a private musculoskeletal clinic.

I have a huge interest in how the physical body functions and how it relates to our mental functioning. As a physiotherapist I believe it is important to assess the entire body, not only the injured area, to identify long-term solutions to mechanical problems and improve overall function and performance as well as solving the specific problems my clients present with.

Qualifications & Experience
I am qualified in the use of acupuncture as well as being trained in clinical Pilates which I use extensively in my practise.

I have also trained in the field of women’s health including the treatment of pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy using manual therapy techniques and acupuncture to good effect with these clients. During my time as a clinical lead in outpatients I had the opportunity to work closely with orthopaedic consultants in several specialities including shoulders, spinal orthopaedics and paediatric orthopaedics.

Pilates – using targeted movement and core strengthening to enhance stability, flexibility, and rehabilitation
Acupuncture – applying fine needles to reduce pain and promote natural healing

I keep fit with yoga classes, long walks, swimming and regular Pilates practice of my own. My other hobby is travelling and with my family I am fortunate enough to indulge my wanderlust regularly.

Vicki Styles

This experience, combined with my passion for helping others, inspired me to pursue a career in Sports Therapy.

Nicola Warren-Footman

Senior Physiotherapist | BSc (Hons) MCSP SRP

My Background
I originally developed an interest in Physiotherapy as I wanted to help people be healthier with a therapeutic approach. After graduating I worked in a variety of areas of healthcare including neurology and orthopaedics before focussing on musculoskeletal physiotherapy. In the last 25 years I have worked with many client groups including those with sports injuries, pregnancy related musculoskeletal pain, lifestyle related injuries and long term conditions, both in the UK and New Zealand. My interest in biomechanics and how the body adapts when in pain or injured has led to successfully treating many long term conditions in addition to more acute injuries.

I love the analytical aspect of physiotherapy: identifying the underlying problem, treating the symptoms and educating/retraining the body to recover fully and avoid future dysfunction. I examine the body holistically and assess how each joint interacts with each other to determine where the original problem lies in addition to treating the pain.

Qualifications and Experience
My experience as an Extended Scope Practitioner, working alongside Consultants, required me to be able to order x-rays/MRIs and determine the appropriate treatment for an individual, whether that be physiotherapy, podiatry, self-management or surgery. I am therefore able to quickly identify if physiotherapy is appropriate or whether a surgical/consultant opinion is necessary.

I am skilled in a variety of techniques including soft tissue release, manual therapy, taping, exercise prescription, postural advice and pain management education. I also have a special interest in using acupuncture as part of my physiotherapy treatment programmes and find it incredibly beneficial for clients’ symptoms. I can treat any part of the body but mostly enjoy shoulders, hips and knees. I also love treating children/ young adults over the age of 10 as they are so positive and fun to engage with!
Maintaining high standards is extremely important to me and I regularly attend postgraduate physiotherapy courses and read current research to ensure I am giving the best possible up to date care to my clients.

Specialisms

Biomechanics – analysing how the body moves to identify the root cause of injury, and treating underlying imbalances to prevent recurrence
Acupuncture – using fine needles to relieve pain and support the body’s natural healing processes
Joint-specific Treatment – specialist care for shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees
Paediatric and Adolescent Care – treating children and young people aged 10 and above with tailored physiotherapy approaches

How I like to recharge and reset
Exercise and nutrition are very important to me and I try to incorporate both into my daily life. I enjoy the gym, body balance classes, swimming and walking my handsome Golden Doodle and my beautiful scatty rescue dog from Zante! I love reading anything from historical fiction to personal growth books and also enjoy planning my next trip around the globe! I have two children who also keep me busy and I love to spend time with them and my husband as a family, walking in the country or visiting the beach……when we’re not driving them to their various after school activities!
