Laura is the founder and Director of Freedom Physiotherapy & Wellness Centre in Jersey. She is an experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist with a particular interest in lower-limb rehabilitation, knee and hip conditions, joint replacement rehabilitation and helping people return confidently to exercise and everyday activity.
Laura graduated from the University of Birmingham with an MSc in Physiotherapy in 2008 and subsequently gained broad clinical experience at Jersey General Hospital across a range of physiotherapy specialties.
She has significant experience in orthopaedic rehabilitation and played an important role in developing and delivering rehabilitation pathways for patients undergoing total hip and knee replacement.
Areas of experience
Laura regularly works with patients experiencing:
- Knee pain and knee injuries
- Hip pain and hip injuries
- Rehabilitation following total knee replacement
- Rehabilitation following total hip replacement
- Meniscal injuries
- Lower-limb sports injuries
- Achilles tendon problems
- Plantar heel pain and plantar fasciopathy
- Running-related injuries

With a background in both physiotherapy and Sport and Exercise Science, Laura places a strong emphasis on progressive rehabilitation rather than simply reducing pain. Her aim is to help patients rebuild strength, mobility and confidence so they can return to the activities that matter to them.

Whether she is helping someone recover after joint replacement surgery, manage a persistent lower-limb problem or return to sport after injury, Laura takes an individualised approach based on the patient’s goals and level of function.
