Meet The Team

Elaine Farquharson qualified in 1998 from Northumbria University with honours and went on to work in NHS regional and national centres of excellence up to senior level. This included working with patients at the national spinal injuries centre managing and running the sports therapy department there which was where the Paralympic sports movement started. She then went on to manage an amputee rehabilitation service linking in with Pace rehabilitation and paralypmpic World Cup athletes. After this time she went back to specialise in Musculoskeletal physiotherapy but still continued to offer physio to elite national level sports people based at Bisham Abbey national sports centre and through the work she does now locally with national level SUP athletes and her work as a Paddle UK coach trainer and assessor. 

 

Elaine has worked in private practice for over 15 years in the competitive clinics of London working alongside top consultants in the care of orthopaedic and sports patients. She was also the manager of the Winterbourne Physio department having achieved high levels of quality and patient satisfaction as well as implementing modern practice innovations and changes such as zero gravity treadmill and shockwave services.  That's when she decide to create her own brand of physiotherapy care for patient in Dorset but specifically those living in her local area of Weymouth. 

 

 Elaine brings a lot of dynamic experience into her care with extra qualifications in manual therapy, acupuncture and rehabilitation. In 2023 Elaine returned part time to NHS General Practice as a First contact practitioner where she has developed strong links with your local doctors and secondary care specialists. This has helped her understand some of the more complex medical conditions and they're management and Elaine often sees people for second opinions and helps direct pathways of care for you as well as provide a detailed session with a wide range of treatment options and support that we choose together. 

 

When not at work Elaine enjoys being a Mum to her two fabulous girls and spending time in the outdoors with them. She particularly enjoys paddle boarding and skiing and spends some of her free time coaching and sharing her passions with others as well as supporting companies like Gutsy Girls adventure Travel and SUPNorway expeditions.
