Lydia and Gerard have known each other for many years as Lydia did her prestigious master’s degree at Coventry University. They have kept in touch and the stars have now aligned where they get to work together in the clinic in Harborne.

Lydia has very unique skills as she has expertise at musculoskeletal physiotherapy but also in the highly specialised areas of pregnancy, post -natal and female pelvic health.

Lydia is highly experienced at seeing Mums to be with pelvic girdle pain and getting them back to enjoying their pregnancy. She is also brilliant at seeing new mums with post-natal conditions such as tummy gap or rectus diastasis, post-natal back or hip pain of post-natal pelvic floor related issues. Lydia with her sports knowledge is also great at getting mums back active and enjoying the activities they want but pain free.

Lydia also has a master’s in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and has many years’ experience of helping patients with low back or neck pain or those with troublesome shoulders or knees. A keen sports person herself she understands also what it takes to get back to sport and activity.

Lydia, like her other super colleagues in Harborne is a hands-on physio with excellent hands-on skills. She also has top rehab skills and soft tissue skills, and she understands people and knows what they want to get back enjoying.
