Ms	Victoria	Henderson	I'm a Chartered Physiotherapist specialising in a wide variety of musculo-skeletal problems, sports injuries and acupuncture. I qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 2000 and worked for 4 years at University Hospital Lewisham where I gained a broad general experience in a number of physiotherapy specialities. I went on to specialise as a Senior Physiotherapist in musculo-skeletal Outpatients, and also trained in Acupuncture. I left the NHS whilst completing my Masters in Veterinary Physiotherapy and since have worked in GP clinics, sports centres and private specialist clinics. I returned to Canterbury, where I grew up, in 2007 to concentrate on my independent physiotherapy practice. <br /><br /> I started working in The Therapy Group in April 2008. <b>I currently work there Tuesdays 8am-8pm and Fridays 8.30am-2pm </b>. I treat a wide range of aches and pains, whether they be in the muscles, joints or of nerve origin. I've gathered a lot of experience in the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries, orthopaedic conditions and all manner of joint/back/neck pains. These include pain from arthritis, postural and work related strains, tendon and ligament sprains / inflammation, muscle injuries, sciatica, frozen shoulder, tennis / golfer's elbow, plantar fascitis, whiplash, cervicogenic headaches, chronic pain, etc. Acupuncture can often be very beneficial in the relief of pain (and stress) and can have positive long-term effects. <br /><br /> I am registered with a number of private medical insurance companies which may allow you to claim back your treatment costs. I am happy to discuss appropriateness of physio / acupuncture prior to booking appointments so please feel free to call me for further information on 07900 905 204.<br /><br /> Alternatively if you have sufficient information and would like to have a treatment, you can book on-line direct here. Simply select my name and choose an appointment from the times/days available.<br /><br /> For more information, please see my website <a href="http://www.physioeffects.co.uk">Victoria Henderson, Chartered Physiotherapist in Canterbury </a>
