The Physiotherapy Team
ANN MCLAUGHLIN, MCSP, HCPC
Having qualified as a Physiotherapist many years ago, I worked at Barts and later Great Ormond Street Hospital giving me wide experience in Orthopaedics, rehabilitation following neurosurgery, post natal exercise and management of acute respiratory conditions.
I then changed direction and worked in the independent sector starting my practice in Ealing over 50 years ago. The practice has grown over time and moved into our present location 23 years ago. There are 5 therapists and a team of 3 who run our office.
My involvement is now as practice principal and I oversee the running of the clinic.
