Claire Ryall established Physical Health Dynamics in 2005 in response to demand for high quality treatment aimed at injury prevention and performance improvement in elite runners as well as treatment of their injuries. 

 

Her extensive experience in the research and clinical management of spinal pain and upper limb disorders makes for a versatile therapist who enjoys a varied clientbase.
 
Claire qualified as a physiotherapist in 1990, after graduating from Addenbrooke's Hospital School of Physitherapy, Cambridge.
 
She has worked in both the public and private health sectors, and has acted as an advisor for different health organisations.  She has had the pleasure of working with athletes from various sports who compete at international standards (archery, badminton, cyling, short-and long distance running, triatholon and  swimming), and also patients with less vigorous lifestyles.
 
After completing her MSc in 1999 (back pain), and a PhD (upper limb disorders) in 2006, whilst still maintaining her clinical practice, Claire is delighted to have more time to devote to her patients and family. 

Michaela McCallum joined the clinic in 2007. She graduated from Queen Margaret College, Edinburgh in 1987 and has since gained a variety of experience working in both the public and private sector. This has included work in Australia, Spain and Italy.

 

Michaela has a special interest in athletics being a former International marathon runner and currently coaches junior athletes.

 

She is delighted to be able to combine her skills of physiotherapy and experience within the running world. She specialises in treatment of lower limb injuries combined with help and advice on training from novice to elite level.

Christina Macleod is an Occupational Therapist specialising in the treatment of patients with rheumatological conditions (arthritis), and has a specific interest in conditions that affect the hands. She has been assessing and advising patients on the suitability of silver ring splints for finger joint deformities at the clinic since 2006.

 

Christina graduated from the Welsh School of Occupational Therapy in 1988.  She has worked mainly in the NHS and more recently has also been involved in research at the University of Southampton studying the benefits of silver ring splints for patients with arthritic conditions.  This work has been presented at international conferences and Christina has run a workshop to train other therapists in the applications of ring splints.
