About Our Professional Women’s Physiotherapy in Paignton

Our Values – Expertise, Empathy, and Empowerment

Physiotherapy Torbay began with one clear mission – to provide expert, compassionate, and specialist physiotherapy in Paignton and the surrounding communities. After qualifying as a physiotherapist over 10 years ago, Sarah saw a need for more accessible, tailored, and specialist care for women and postnatal clients in particular. 

Already trained in massage therapy for over 20 years and having studied scar therapy in May 2021 to provide expert treatment in a calm, professional setting. Since then, Sarah has helped hundreds of clients manage pain, recover from surgery and childbirth, and feel like themselves again.

Her commitment to continuing education, including her latest course completion in oncology scar therapy, ensures patients always receive evidence-based care. Sarah has just enrolled on her final course for this year; a coaching course, which ‘solution focussed’ enabling patients to make plans on their preferred future outcomes and empowering them to make the changes required. Sarah has lots of CPD plans for 2026/27 including more comprehensive menopause care, health and wellness for girls around puberty and going forwards, pessary fitting for prolapse services and completing a post graduate certificate in independent prescribing so that she is able to prescribe medication for her patients.

 
We are committed to:

• Personalised care – Every treatment is tailored to your body, your goals, and your journey.
• Expert-led solutions – We combine manual therapy with advanced technology and continued professional development for optimal results.
• Women’s health advocacy – We are passionate about breaking stigma around pelvic health and empowering women throughout every life stage.
• Community connection – Our support doesn’t stop at the clinic. We work with local organisations to bring education and awareness into the community – please do get in touch if you would like more information on this or if you have an event that you would like Sarah to speak at.

Our long-term vision is to become the go-to clinic for specialist women’s health physiotherapy and scar therapy locally, known for our clinical integrity, local roots, and client-first approach.
