Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist in Paediatric Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Pain
Ms Susan Maillard

Обзор

I have specialised in paediatric Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal pain for over 27 years and I have worked at Great Ormond Street Hospital for over 23 years.

I work within the NHS service at GOSH and co-ordinate and run a rehabilitation programme for patients with these conditions. My service also provides many outpatient clinics for the NHS patients.

I have a biomechanical focus for all of my assessments and look at how specific muscles and joints function and the impact any changes may have on pain and fatigue and other symptoms for inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions.

The ethos of the service is to identify specific muscle imbalance and to provide a very specific and targeted exercises to be completed at home and reviewed and progressed depending upon progress and response to treatment. This approach can be applied to children of all ages and cognitive abilities and can be adapted according to ability and age.

I am able to provide a traditional outpatient service with assessment and home exercise programme which is monitored regularly. I am also able to provide more regular physiotherapy if that is required.

I am also able to advise very specifically upon pain management techniques and pacing of activities and I am able to develop advice strategies to support attendance at school and return to school and sport and full independent function.

I practice Monday-Thursday evenings from 5pm.
