This summer marks a very special milestone for us—25 years since we qualified as Chartered Physiotherapists at the University of Birmingham.
We first met as students, and since graduating together in 2000, we’ve worked side by side in hospitals large and small, across nearly every area of medicine: orthopaedics, neurology, elderly care, intensive care, paediatrics, surgery, mental health—you name it, we’ve probably done it!
We’ve learned a lot over the past 25 years, but what’s remained constant is our belief in the power of rehabilitation—and the right of every person to move well, live independently, and age with confidence.
That belief is what led us to create Back On Your Feet, a physiotherapy service dedicated to older adults in Ilkley. We bring our skills directly into the homes of those who need it most.
More than ever, we’re seeing patients come home from hospital medically well, but physically deconditioned—struggling with stairs, mobility, and daily life. Without the right support, recovery can stall. That’s where we come in: helping people regain strength, balance, and independence, safely and effectively at home.
So as we celebrate 25 years in a profession we love, we feel deeply grateful—not only for the journey so far, but for the opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day.
Thank you to all our wonderful patients, families, and local colleagues for your trust and support. Here’s to the next chapter!
With heartfelt thanks,
Rosie & Anika
