Deidre has 30 years experience working in the public and private physiotherapy sector in South Africa. She specialises in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, rehabilitation and workstation assessments.
After graduating from Stellenbosch University, South Africa, in 1990, Deidre worked in a government hospital before joining a private physiotherapy practice, where she gained experience in sports-related and musculoskeletal injuries. After running her own physiotherapy practice for a while, she pursued a corporate marketing career with Discovery Health and the private hospital group Mediclinic. In 2012, she developed an interest in ergonomics, furthered her studies and worked as an ergonomics consultant. She is a registered member of the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Occupational Health and Ergonomics (ACPOHE) in the UK. Deidre also worked for a company that specialises in work-related injuries, and for the past three years owned a physiotherapy practice in Hermanus, South Africa.
Following a move to London in 2021, Deidre joined The Physio Company.
Through her professional experience, Deidre learnt how acute injuries and health setbacks can be overcome and managed through intervention, movement and rehabilitation. She uses evidence-based care plans to provide patient-centred treatment.
