Miss Katie Bakkara

Physiotherapist

I have been working as a Physiotherapist for over 4 years now, graduating from the University of Worcester in 2018 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy. Since qualifying, I have worked in various physiotherapy roles, particularly in the NHS, in various localities supporting patients in General Medical Rehabilitation, Stroke Rehabilitation and in the Community – within individual’s own homes. In the last year I moved away from working in the NHS and began my practise in a private clinic, which I have continued to support individuals to rehabilitate, restoring their health and mobility. My primary interest in Physiotherapy is in relation to the neurological aspect of rehabilitation particularly in Stroke. Other areas of interests of practise include muscular repair and strengthening, biomechanics & falls prevention. I am certified in sports massage and have recently acquired certification in Pilates, accredited by the Australian Associated Pilates Institute (AAPI). Outside of work, I do my best to participate in a range of activities to enable me to sustain my health, including running, weight training and cycling. I also enjoy spending time doing activities with my family, supporting my daughter with her school life, horse riding and rock climbing. I also, do a fair amount of gardening which I find very rewarding, along with my attempt in playing the piano.

Miss Louise Hall

Massage Therapist

I'm a University of Gloucestershire graduate in Sports Therapy with experience in Sports Massage, Musculoskeletal Injury Assessment and Pitch side First Aid with a qualification in Level 2 PHICIS. I gained my first massage qualification 5 years ago and have since further developed my skill set particularly in Sports Massage. I have experience working in both a private clinic and with multiple sports teams covering various sports including Rugby Union, Rugby League, Football and Hockey. These past 2 seasons I have focussed on Rugby Union in particular, completing my internship at Cinderford RFC in 2021/22 before working with Stroud RFC 2022/23. My interest in the medical field sparked from my own injuries as a dancer and understanding the frustrations of the implications they have on daily living and for athletes unable to perform to their best standards. I strongly believe in the benefits of manual therapies alongside exercise rehabilitation and nutrition to get you back on track!

Mr Chris Cooke

Massage Therapist

I graduated from the University of Gloucestershire in 2020 with a degree in Sports Therapy and have been working within semi-professional football since. Starting in September 2020 with Paulton Rovers before moving to Cribbs football club in 2022 where we achieved promotion to the Southern Football league, the highest for the club in its history. I have a keen interest in sports especially football and cricket which I enjoy playing in my free time and have been doing so since my youth. In my role as a massage therapist, I aim to help clients by reliving pain and increasing range of movement. Whether that be to help get you back to performing activity and exercise or to help with day to day living.
