Meet Abi

My name is Abi. I’m a chartered physiotherapist with 19 years of experience, specialising in orthopaedics, major trauma, and the care of older people.

After qualifying from the University of Nottingham in 2007, I started my NHS career in Essex — initially as a junior physiotherapist, and then as a senior physiotherapist working in a rehabilitation unit predominantly with older people.

This was followed by a move to Hertfordshire in 2011 to specialise in orthopaedics — I worked in trauma and elective orthopaedics in this role.

I relocated to Sheffield in 2015 where I continued in orthopaedic roles in NHS hospital trusts in Yorkshire, progressing to a clinical specialist and major trauma therapy lead role in 2019.

I established Sheffield Home Physio at the end of 2025 through a desire to fill a gap for high quality specialised rehabilitation at home for orthopaedic patients and older people, and to provide a level of service that is increasingly difficult to achieve within the constraints of an NHS system that is under extreme pressure.
