-Lucy Bendle-
Physiotherapist
Hello. I am Lucy. Welcome to the start of your journey to pain free living.
My name is Lucy Bendle and for over 30 years I have been a practising physiotherapist.
Throughout my career I have amassed a wealth of experience and have worked in the UK and South Africa.
During my time in South Africa I worked with a national sporting team and served on the executive committee of the South African Society of Physiotherapy. I also represented them at the Africa conference and the World Confederation for Physical Therapy conferences.
I am passionate about the difference physiotherapy can make to a patient’s life.
For many years I have had a clinical interest in pelvic health and am constantly striving to empower patients stricken by this “hidden problem”.
I am a keen long distance runner. I have ran marathons and ultra-marathons and have seen great results when treating patients with running and exercise related injuries.
I have worked for the NHS and in private practice throughout my years as a physiotherapist.
“I am passionate about helping people in pain get better and achieve their goals in life.”
