The Oxford Physiotherapy Service

Continual professional development is a practice priority and we strive to achieve a level above the mandatory postgraduate target established by our professional body. We typically attend 2 or more clinical weekend courses and professional conferences each year, as well 'in-house' clinical meetings & local lectures, in order to keep our approaches consistant with current evidence based research.

Joy started the practice in 1984, and has a wide experience in many areas of physiotherapy, including sports injuries and spinal problems. She has a particular interest in the improvement of normal movement patterns, postural balance, and correct muscle control of movement.
