Hello, my name is Eleanor Gill, but most people call me Elle.
I’m a Chartered Physiotherapist living in lovely Teesdale.
I qualified as a Physio in 2014 from St George’s University, London, but then headed back to the North East. I have worked within the NHS for 12 years, firstly as a Physiotherapy Assistant prior to gaining my Physiotherapy degree. In this time I have worked in 3 different NHS Trusts and have specialised in community and neurology, particularly stroke rehabilitation. Since moving into private practice musculoskeletal physiotherapy is now a large part of the work I do, alongside treating those with neurological conditions and those who may need rehabilitation following a hospital stay, injury or simply to help try and improve their mobility, balance or strength.
Prior to my physiotherapy journey I studied and gained a foundation degree in Complementary Therapies, including swedish massage, reflexology and aromatherapy.
I continue to believe that these therapies can play a large part in people’s health and wellbeing, and can be used effectively alongside conventional treatment, or as stand alone treatments for relaxation.
I have founded Deepdale Therapies to fulfil a long-held desire to be an independent practitioner, and I believe that people should be able to access physiotherapy treatment wherever and whenever they need it in order to achieve the best outcomes. I operate as a mobile Physiotherapist, offering home visits in the local area, or I am based at our Deepdale Clinic.
