Judith Callow
 I am one of the two partners at Willaston Physiotherapy clinic having worked there since it opened in 1990. I qualified from Coventry in 1983 and from there spent 5yrs at Walton Hospital in Liverpool. I then came to the Wirral to work at BUPA Murrayfield Hospital specialising in the treatment musculo-skeletal problems.
I have been a credentialed member of The Mckenzie Institute since 1998 which has further developed my interest in the treatment of acute and chronic spinal problems. To compliment this I have gone on to qualify in Acupuncture and Muscle Imbalance techniques which gives me plenty of tools to tackle the problem of spinal pain.

Pamela Gardiner
Qualifying in 1978 at Liverpool I started my career in the NHS at Leighton Hospital. I had a short period working in Bahrain where my interest in rugby flourished watching the Dubai 7s. Returning to the Wirral in 1994 I joined Judith at the Willaston Clinic.
My interest in sports medicine has continued with my involvement with Cheshire RFU and the GB Rowing team. I was honoured to attend the Athens Olympic Games as 1 of the physiotherapists to the rowing squad and work regularly with the senior squad during the year.
Although I have a specific interest in sports rehab, I also treat any condition of joints and spine which have been caused by acute or chronic muscle imbalance problems.
