    About me

    Maria Scicluna

     

    Registered Physiotherapist MCSP HCPC CPCM COFICAM

     

    I am a English/Spanish speaking Chartered Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and expert in Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)/Acupuncture with a special interest in persistent pain and breathing pattern disorders. As a qualified Menopause Movement specialist I also enjoy working with women who are perimenopausal/menopausal to improve their minds and bodies.

     

    I qualified in 2003 at the University of Brighton (UK) with a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy and went on to work at several UK National Health Service Trusts in London and Kent before specialising in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and moving into private practice in 2005 where I worked in numerous private clinics before establishing my own. I have worked alongside GPs, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons and Pain Management Consultants. I have also worked for a National League football club (UK) gaining a wealth of sports injury and injury prevention experience.

     

    I believe that movement is key one´s physical and mental health and I am passionate about helping people live a good quality life. I believe in listening to people´s stories, educating them about their symtoms and offering a holistic and practical rehabilitation programme tailored to their individual needs and guiding them on a journey towards recovery.

     

    I am married with two children and a dog. In my spare time I like to travel, cook, walk the dog and practise yoga and go to the gym.

    Menopause Movement MOT

    During the pre, peri and post menopausal years there are many changes to your physical and mental health due to fluctuating hormones and these changes in oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels can lead to many symptoms including pain.

     

    These sessions are a chance for you to discuss your symptoms and to be advised on how to make small changes to your lifestyle that can make a real positive impact on how you feel mentally and physically.

     

    Treatment is based on your individual needs and a tailored exercise programme including strengthening exercises will be created for you and progressed as required. Throughout your programme you can ask questions and get support anytime using PhysiApp that allows you to follow exercise videos and report back on your progress.
