UCLH Private Healthcare is delighted to welcome highly specialist physiotherapist Martha Lipman to the team at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
After being awarded a first class honours BSc in physiotherapy, Martha gained invaluable experience working at Bristol Royal Infirmary teaching hospital, before moving to London to join the therapy team at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. She now has a decade of experience in physiotherapy and rehabilitation, specialising in neurosciences.
Martha’s experience includes stroke rehabilitation and rapid assessment, neurosurgical and neuromedical critical care, post neurosurgical recovery, spinal rehabilitation, complex neurological rehabilitation, upper limb rehabilitation, multiple sclerosis management, FES and orthotics, Parkinson’s, and spasticity management.
Her work includes use of specialist orthotic equipment and technologies, such as AFO orthoses, and functional electrical stimulation for upper and lower limbs to treat peripheral limb weakness.
Martha is a clinical Pilates practitioner having completed her training with the prestigious Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI). A background of dance, competitive figure skating and gymnastics first led her into working in professional sports with teams such as Bath Rugby and Victoria Gymnastics (Australia) and then into her Pilates training. Martha brings together her clinical skills, elements of precision and Pilates training principles to create targeted individual rehabilitation plans for her patients.
She has a special interest in vestibular physiotherapy and treating balance impairments and has undertaken specialist training at Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool. She also works at Great Ormond Street Hospital where she is involved in cutting edge rehabilitation trials and research.
