Mrs Sarah Smith
Physiotherapist
MSc, MMACRP, Grad Dip Phys
I qualified in 1992 from the Middlesex Hospital school of Physiotherapy and have worked at a number of North London hospitals including the North Middlesex Hospital, The Middlesex, Whittington and Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore. I have a Masters qualification from the University of Hertfordshire with membership of the MACP. I have been a Clinical Educator/Examiner supervising both under graduate and postgraduate physiotherapists.
I have been working as an associate practitioner in private practice since 2002 within the local St Albans, Redbourne and Harpenden area before joining Spire Harpenden in 2016. In my current role I treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including post-operative spinal and peripheral joint surgery.
I am experienced in working with sporting adolescents with an interest in dance having worked at Arts Educational School of performing Arts, and through working with sport teams including football, rugby and judo. I travelled with The GB Judo Team to training and international events. I have a clinical interest in both antenatal and post-partum care, acute facial palsy examination and treatment and I am qualified in acupuncture for pain relief.
