We are experts in what we do
But, you shouldn’t be considering anyone that isn’t. So, why us? Our mission is to improve your independence as well as function. We think about you as a whole person and set creative, personalised goals built around your life, to make it better. We go the extra mile, we genuinely care and we get a kick out of seeing you do things you couldn’t do before.
Our founder
Specialised was founded by Anna Kharin (nee Duff) Bsc; Msc. Anna is a highly specialist physiotherapist with over 10 years experience in the field of neurology. She has spent most of her career working at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. There she was at the forefront of neuro rehabilitation for a variety of complex conditions. Our attitude to Neuro Physiotherapy stems from her energetic attitude to physio and to life. Our mission is to always find the thing that will motivate each individual to achieve their personal rehabilitation goals.
Our philosophy
Our main goal is to make a positive impact on your quality of life, improve your sense of wellbeing and your independence. We work towards personal goals that matter to you and put together bespoke training programmes to get you there. When physio sessions, and outcomes include trips to the snow dome, wine and cheese nights with your friends or runs on the beach, you know this is a team that cares about real life improvements, rather than simply measuring progress on a chart, although we do that too!
Neuro Heroes
Our founder, Anna has teamed up with Laura, a fellow Neurological Physiotherapist to offer specialist virtual group exercise sessions for people living with Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy and other neurological conditions. If a motivating group environment and regular exercise to help manage your symptoms sounds good, check it out.
All our specialist Physiotherapists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and are members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), The Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Neurology (ACPIN) and The Association of Chartered Physiotherapists Interested in Vestibular Rehabilitation (ACPIVR).
“When they took me on I had in effect been discarded by other physios as a Myasthenic with a difficult cancer. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude for all they did to improve my life.”
