Hi, I’m Vicky and I’ve been a physio for over 30 years. I established Tayloredfit Physio in September 2014 with my husband Mark.
I graduated from Coventry University in 1993 with an Honours degree in physiotherapy, returning to my native North East to work at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, gaining experience, friendships and clarity over the area I wanted to specialise in. I then worked in the musculoskeletal field for 16 years for a large private physiotherapy company, working in clinics, occupational health and primary care. This allowed me to gain experience in staff development, teaching and management, as well as becoming even more passionate about my patients and helping them achieve their goals and expectations. I also completed my MMACP (Manipulative Association of Chartered Physiotherapists), gaining credits towards an MSc.
I have gained knowledge and expertise in many areas of physiotherapy and holistic healthcare over the years, incorporating APPI (the global, industry gold standard for clinical Pilates) Pilates into my practice. I love teaching my regular classes along with pilates focused events and workshops.
I have always been passionate about using the least invasive, holistic approaches with clients and treating the person, not the condition. I began integrating Craniosacral Therapy into my practice over 25 years ago and it is now my main area of clinical expertise. I qualified as an Upledger CranioSacral Therapist some years ago and I now teach courses, facilitate those going through their own training and run the North East study group to support others and their learning and professional development. My training and development enables me to treat a diverse population including newborns and children, those presenting with chronic pain but often held old traumas, PTSD, anxiety, post-concussion and neurodivergent clients. Purchasing this beautiful old Baptist Chapel in the hearty of Langley Park, renovating and growing the business and team has been and continues to be the highlight of my career so far – never a dull moment! As a mum of four and a busy household, I know how hard it can be to self-care and to get the right balance. We try and take time out as a family when we can and we have two gorgeous golden retrievers!
My team and I would love to help you and your family.
