About Ellie Physiotherapy & Wellness
Helping You Move Better, Feel Better, and Live with Less Pain
About Me – The Practitioner Behind the Care
I’m Ellie, the founder and sole physiotherapist at Ellie Physiotherapy & Wellness in West Didsbury.
I created my clinic with a simple goal: to provide the kind of physiotherapy I believe everyone deserves—care that is personal, thorough and centred around the individual, rather than rushed or one-size-fits-all.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain or simply want to move more comfortably, I take the time to understand your concerns, identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and create a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to you.
Every appointment is one-to-one, giving you the time, attention and continuity of care needed to support your recovery with confidence.
What My Patients Say
I’m incredibly grateful for the trust my patients place in me. Here are some of their experiences at Ellie Physiotherapy & Wellness.
Posted on Google Jill JeffsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first sought help from Ellie Physiotherapy in Didsbury for Neck pain and Shoulder pain a year ago. By the end of the first session the intense pain was easing and following a course of treatment with massage, infra red and electrotherapy, combined with a gentle exercise programme, I am now pain free. I returned to Ellie earlier this year with Lower Back pain. She is working her magic again and combined with her Pilates sessions I am feeling so much stronger and better able to avoid further injury. I would highly recommend Ellie Physiotherapy in Didsbury.Posted on Google Bruno RitoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a few sessions with Ellie after getting the biggest back blockage and terrible pain I've ever had in my life, I was astonished by how fast she arranged to see me and the results I got from each sessions. After 4 visits my blockage was history , thanks Ellie!Posted on Google Shireen FelicityTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ellie’s help has been central to my recovery! When I twisted my ankle in December, I had to stop doing all of the activities I enjoyed such as walking, running and hiking. I googled some stretches to do but found there wasn’t much improvement in 3-4 weeks, and I thought I might have to cancel some holidays I have coming up this year. In my first session with Ellie, she took time to really talk to me and get an understanding of my pain, explaining how my injury had affected the different parts of my ankle, and managing my expectations regarding my immediate and long term recovery which was more helpful than just googling my symptoms. Ellie’s guidance on how to gently build up my strength through targeted exercises that I could do between sessions, as well as physical therapies like massages and ultrasound treatment (which is amazing!) have made my ankle feel just like it did before! Her clinic is well situated in Didsbury, being easy to access by bus, tram or car, and she is so kind and caring, really supporting me through my recovery, both physically, but also mentally understanding how to tailor my return to my usual activities to avoid reinjury. I couldn’t recommend her enough.Posted on Google Francesca BryanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just want to say a HUGE thank you to Ellie for helping to sort my sciatic and arm strain problems. On a personal level, Ellie is such a lovely and thoughtful person who showed she was genuinely interested in me by taking the time to talk things through with me and show me what I needed to do to improve things. Each of my 3 visits showed me what a caring, intelligent, and truly wonderful person. On a professional level, Ellie knows her stuff and with her guidance and treatment suggestions, I feel I am well on the way to recovery and given that I was struggling to exercise, walk and sleep due to the pain the progress made has been amazing. I have a further and last visit soon and although I am supremely happy with the outcome, I will miss my appointments with Ellie. However at least I now know where to go on anything Physiotherapy related and won't hesitate to contact Ellie as and when that happens. Thank you Ellie. You are an angel!Posted on Google Ash HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ellie is the best! I came in with IT band pain and couldn’t get up after sitting down, she worked her magic and it vanished in 2 sessions! No more pain! She is so caring and I actually look forward to coming back! Such a calming environment! She gives great exercises so I can be practise at home too!Posted on Google David BeckettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Ellie Physiotherapy & Wellness highly enough. I came to Ellie with persistent lower back pain caused by a herniated disc that was aggravating my sciatic nerve. From the very first session, Ellie took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, explain what was going on in a way I could actually understand, and map out a tailored treatment strategy that made all the difference. The therapies she used on site were incredibly effective – a mix of hands-on treatment and guided exercises that targeted the source of the problem rather than just masking the symptoms. She also provided clear, practical advice on how to manage and improve my condition between sessions, which really helped me take control of my recovery. What sets Ellie apart is not just her clinical expertise but her fantastic interpersonal skills. She has a warm, approachable manner and genuinely cares about her clients’ wellbeing. She remembered details from our previous sessions, always followed up on how I was doing, and created an environment where I felt listened to and supported. Thanks to Ellie, I’m finally seeing real progress with my back and feel more confident in managing my physical health long term. If you're struggling with pain or injury, don't hesitate to get in touch with her – she's outstanding.Posted on Google FahidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My Background
I am an HCPC-registered Physiotherapist with experience in musculoskeletal and occupational health physiotherapy, helping people recover from a wide range of injuries and painful conditions.
Throughout my career, I have worked with people experiencing:
- Back and neck pain
- Sports and gym-related injuries
- Shoulder, hip, knee and ankle problems
- Work-related and posture-related pain
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Sciatica and nerve-related pain
- Post-operative rehabilitation
- Long-standing musculoskeletal conditions
Alongside my physiotherapy training, I have also studied Clinical Pilates and Hatha Yoga. These have strengthened my understanding of posture, movement, breathing and body awareness, allowing me to support people in improving not only their recovery but also their long-term movement and wellbeing.
Our Approach to Physiotherapy
No two people experience pain in the same way, which is why I believe treatment should never follow a standard formula.
Your first appointment begins with a detailed assessment where I listen carefully to your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and goals. I carry out a thorough physical assessment, explain my findings in clear, straightforward language and work with you to develop a personalised rehabilitation plan.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include hands-on physiotherapy, soft tissue techniques, rehabilitation exercises, movement retraining and practical advice to help you manage your condition confidently between appointments.
My aim is not simply to reduce your pain, but to help you understand your body, improve your movement and reduce the likelihood of your symptoms returning.
Who I Help
I regularly work with busy professionals, office workers, healthcare staff, active individuals and people recovering from injury or surgery.
Many of my patients come to see me because pain has started to affect their work, sleep, exercise or everyday activities. Others simply want expert guidance to recover safely and prevent future injuries.
Whatever your reason for seeking physiotherapy, my goal is to help you return to the activities that matter most to you.

Evidence-Based Practice
My treatments are guided by current physiotherapy evidence, clinical experience and a thorough assessment to ensure you receive effective, appropriate care.
Long-Term Results
Rather than offering temporary relief alone, I aim to help you build strength, improve movement and develop the knowledge and confidence to stay active long after treatment has finished.
A Calm, Supportive Environment
I understand that living with pain can be frustrating and sometimes overwhelming.
My clinic has been created to provide a calm, professional and welcoming space where you can feel supported throughout your recovery. My aim is for every patient to leave each appointment feeling reassured, informed and one step closer to achieving their goals.
