BIO: Gill qualified from Leeds Metropolitan University in 1992 and after working in the NHS she returned to Australia to continue her post-graduate education.
By completing the Australian Sports Diploma and studying with the Australian Pilates Institute Gill was fortunate enough to secure a job at North Sydney Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre with several of Australia’s leading surgeons whilst also travelling with Australian sports teams in Rugby, AFL, Softball, Tennis and Netball. At the Sydney Olympics, working with Australian Gymnastics, Gill met the British Team and on returning to the UK has worked with them ever since.
In 2001, Gill and Rachel formed Physio Action starting with their first clinic at the David Lloyd Club in Leeds. Having worked in Private Practice for over 16 years, Gill specialises in Sports Medicine and particularly in the management of adolescent and gymnastic injuries.
She has represented Australia and Great Britain as Physiotherapist at Commonwealth, European, World and Olympic level and was the National Lead Physiotherapist for British Gymnastics and trampolining.
Gill has worked with many other National teams too including UK Athletics and British Orienteering.
As the personal physio to one of our Olympians, she understands the challenges both physically and mentally that sport presents to our athletes and transfers these skills into the daily running of her patient caseload.
Throughout her life as a physio, Gill has worked hard to attain a good reputation for quality treatment. She considers herself very lucky to work at the top end of sport but always recalls that day-to-day work with patients who struggle with back/neck pain through inappropriate postures or daily repetitive loading can be just as rewarding, making small changes can make a huge difference to someone’s life.
Personally, she is a busy mum of three very active children who love what she does, apparently “It’s quite cool to have a mum who can fix it”!
