Senior Physiotherapist

Physiotherapist with 10+ years experience.

Naama Merritt was trained in Israel and has worked for many years as a musculoskeletal and neurological physiotherapist. She is also an experienced Pilates instructor and proficient in using guided exercises to develop functional strength and skills in her patients and clients. Her areas of strength include back pain, sciatica, shoulder and neck pain, cervicogenic headaches, and dizziness caused by vertigo, as well as vestibular rehabilitation. She treats a broad range of orthopaedic conditions and is experienced with postoperative rehabilitation. Namma takes a focussed yet holistic approach in assessment and care planning. For example, when dealing with chronic back pain and arthritis, a typical session may include joint mobilization, soft tissue work, as well as stretching and exercises for flexibility and strength. The patient has less pain, improves his or her functional abilities while maintaining requisite core and spinal control in their training. Naama’s experience in neurological rehabilitation includes care of stroke victims, Parkinson’s Disease and spinal cord injuries. For such patients, the assessment may include functional deficits, gait, and bio-mechanical analysis. With the particular deficiencies identified, the rehabilitation activities will target requisite joint range of motion, specific task and skill practices, and appropriate environmental and contextual awareness.
