Having fun and enjoying your sessions is also important to Anya – be that with her bubbly personality or in your treatment itself. You can expect your assessment to include discussing your condition history, current main concerns and goals of treatment. Treatment sessions could be anything from therapeutic handling techniques, exercise therapy, advice or education. Anya is also able to utilise Neuro-physiotherapy adjuncts such as electrical stimulation, taping and splinting should this be something you’re interested in.

When not at Fix – you will probably find Anya in the kitchen or at a restaurant as a massive foodie she’s always got a plan or recommendations for the next meal!
