Tankerton Physiotherapist
Shirley-Ann Walters
Shirley-Ann Walters is a fully qualified Chartered and State Registered Physiotherapist with over 30 years clinical experience in a variety of physiotherapy settings, both NHS and private care, as well as senior hospital management.
Shirley-Ann qualified from The Middlesex Hospital London in 1988, worked in the NHS, then in a group private practice before joining BMI Runnymede Hospital and becoming the physiotherapy manager. She started her own practice in Ascot in 2001, and in 2011 moved to Lightwater where she still offers appointments 2 days a week. Shirley-Ann now has a designated treatment room at home in Tankerton where she practices Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Shirley-Ann keeps up with new physiotherapy treatment techniques and is also a fully qualified and regularly re-assessed practitioner of complementary therapies available as stand-alone therapies or in conjunction with physiotherapy treatments.
Why here? Her husband grew up in Tankerton and her late and much loved mother-in-law lived on Baddlesmere Road for 64 years. This move has been the most natural development of their very special relationship with this area.
