Sarah Field MCSP
Having qualified in 1980 from Sheffield I knew almost immediately that I wanted to specialise in the treatment of spinal problems. This is a challenging area of physiotherapy but exiting and demanding. There are a limited number of practitioners who have made this area their speciality. Physios should be performing tailor-made, hands-on treatments, designed to suit the individual and developing achievable, realistic goals with each patient. Patients should also be empowered to take control of their personal well being through knowlege and education. It is the successful outcomes which motivate me to continue learning and keeping abreast of all the latest thinking about spines and the concept of pain.I keep fit by walking my two dogs, cycling, occasional jogging. I also run my own registered charity, fund raising for health related causes in Yorkshire.
John Rutherford MCSP BA (Hons)
After leaving school I completed a degree in Human Movements at Carnegie, Leeds. This led naturally to a Physiotherapy degree, which I completed in 1986. In addition I am a qualified tennis and athletics coach, which together with my sports degree knowledge underpins my physiotherapy work, not just with sports people but also with the performing arts students, dancers and musicians.My philosophy – The value of regular exercise cannot be overstated as an important factor in maintaining general health. As people age, exercise is a critical factor in prolonging functionality and independent living. Sport is a huge part of my life as I have always participated in rugby, tennis and running, therefore really appreciating how frustrating it is when an injury prevents you from indulging in a favourite past time.My other passions include walking and camping with my family, supporting my wife with her riding stables and playing on my tractor as a hobby farmer.
DOING OUR BIT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Looking after the environment is a responsibility that we all share. At the clinic we actively recycle all used bedroll, paper, cardboard, milk cartons.
