Lizzie Clive Physio

About

About image
Since an early age Lizzie has had a strong interest in Physiotherapy and Sports Massage. As a youngster, she competed at a national level in Dressage and still competes in her spare time today. When competing, Lizzie saw at first hand how Physiotherapy helps both horse and rider compete at the highest level and how crucial it can be for all high-level sport, as well as general well being.

Lizzie graduated from The University of the West of England in 2016 with a first class honours degree in Physiotherapy, gaining a distinction in every placement as an undergraduate. Following her graduation, Lizzie worked in the NHS to consolidate her learning by helping those most in need.

Lizzie has always had a flare for Musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy and has known that this is where her passion lies. She set up her own business in the summer of 2017 and has since increased her client base dramatically and is now a very well recognised Physiotherapist in the Oxfordshire area. She treats a number of competitive athletes, supports local sports clubs, but she also treats more elderly patients to support with mobility, using sports massage as a maintenance.

Lizzie’s passion for Physiotherapy has led her to completing numerous extra courses including an ITEC level 3 massage diploma which was completed in 2015. She has also refined her massage skills by using hot stones and warm bamboo techniques. She also completed a Bernard Nolan Acupuncture course in 2017, along with lots of individual day courses for learning top up including those led by John Gibbons.

Lizzie works with highly respected other professionals locally and has great professional connections with a multidisciplinary team. Therefore, she is able to take a holistic approach in helping a patient making a full recovery. Her focus is patient-centred care with long term management being achievable and realistic.

Lizzie is a registered private Physiotherapist with numerous insurance companies including AXA, Vitality Health and Cigna.

I am fully operating as a Physiotherapist despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

I will be practicing as many infection control measures as possible and using PPE equipment to minimise risks. A deep clean of the treatment room will occur daily and changing towels and bedding for each client. I will therefore allow extra time between each appointment.

Testimonials

 We first went to Lizzie for my daughter, Jessica McConkey, who is a Junior Dressage rider for GBR. We use Lizzie mainly for general maintenance on her back and to help strengthen her core to enable Jessica to perform at her best without pain. With Lizzie having a background in equestrianism, and in particular dressage this has been extremely advantageous. However, it was not long before the whole family including my elderly parents in their 70's became Lizzie's clients with a mix of injuries and ailments ranging from a severe knee injury, wrist and hand injuries, sciatica and tennis elbow all through sport. Lizzie has used her wealth of knowledge, techniques and experience to treat our needs with expertise and sensitivity. Her ability to communicate across all the age groups in layman’s terms is exceptional. Lizzie has always made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. You feel you are in safe hands. I cannot recommend her enough! 

Susie McConkey and Family

 I have known Lizzie Clive for nearly 20 years and have been seeing Lizzie for treatment ever since she qualified. She offers a modern and up to date service and is constantly upgrading her knowledge and qualifications keeping her practice well ahead of the competition. I have no reservations whatsoever, in recommending Lizzie to anybody for treatment. She operates her business from her home in Stadhampton where a room, has been successfully converted for the purpose. Her booking system is brilliant, and simple. I find the whole treatment process is a joy, and I would really miss the regular appointments as I continue to fight the ageing process. Thank You Lizzie

 I’ve been seeing Lizzie for Sports massage for over two years now. She is very knowledgeable and focussed on the right treatment and programs to keep small niggles at bay and to work with info from other specialists. Lizzie helped me to return to full sport after a prolapsed disc and my recovery would not have been as swift without her. She has also treated my 15yr old kids (boy and a girl) who had growing pain niggles that she has smoothed out, whilst encouraging them to stretch! 

Doug Struthers

 Having suffered from neck pains and headaches on a daily basis, I visited Lizzie Clive Physiotherapy. I have received multiple treatments over the past year and was amazed at the difference the treatments made to my general wellbeing. Lizzie is extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. The treatments were amazing and I received an initial consultation, which meant my treatment was specific to me. I would highly recommend Lizzie Clive Physiotherapy to anyone in the Oxfordshire area 

Millie Quinton Smith: Speech and Language Therapist

 I have been lucky enough to be a client of Lizzie for two years now and I have to say that my neck and back have never been so good . Lizzie is very professional and very knowledgeable it has been a pleasure to come and see her , I had a nasty shoulder injury six years ago which has been incredibly painful and thanks to Lizzie it is so much better she is a miracle worker I would recommend her 200% to anyone. 

Carol Cox

 After a very long history of severe hip pain, and multiple sessions with other health professionals, I decided to try a highly recommended physiotherapist. Lizzie took a detailed history and examination before diagnosing bursitis in my hip joint. Time was then spent treating the area using a variety of techniques including acupuncture. By the end of the session there was a plan of action, including exercises to complete, the level of pain relief I should be taking (with an explanation as to why) and an agreement for when the follow up appointment should be. My hip immediately improved. We are now in April 2020 and I have been averaging 2 or 3 runs a week without pain. I am so very grateful to Lizzie for helping me and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone – in fact I have already told a number of friends about her to their benefit!
