Jill Moore MCSP HCPC MMACP – Physiotherapist and Partner

I trained at Coventry Polytechnic (now University) qualifying with a merit in 1982. After working for 2 years as a junior at the Norfolk and Norwich Health Authority, I moved to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH), Stanmore to take up an orthopaedic rotational post, which gave me the experience in all aspects of inpatient and outpatient orthopaedics. I also studied for my Manual Therapy (MACP) qualifications in spinal and peripheral joints during this time and went on to be the Senior I in charge of Outpatients before setting up KLPC with Di Hewetson in 1989.
Like all my colleagues at KLPC, I enjoy treating a wide range of conditions that we see at the clinic, but I do particularly like treating older people with problems such as degenerative joints and spinal stenosis.

Di Hewetson MSc MCSP HCPC – Ergonomist, Physiotherapist & Pilates Instructor and Partner

I trained at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, leaving in 1983 to start my first NHS job at The Westminster Hospital. I really enjoy treating people with musculoskeletal problems so moved to the RNOH, Stanmore where I treated both in and out patients. I developed an interest in the way that pain or injury affects our muscles and how we move, so completed my Acupuncture training in 1988.
In 1995 I gained my Master Degree in Ergonomics, recognising that how we sit and move at work has a huge impact on our bodies.
In 2001 I trained to become a Pilates Instructor and started the Pilates Therapy classes to look more at how a specific form of exercise and movement can help improve our posture, muscle strength, coordination and balance, and hopefully prevent further injury.
It is easy to be enthusiastic about treatments when you have personally benefited from acupuncture and Pilates, and despite back surgery in 2010 I have trekked in the Himalayas, swum 2Km for charity, completed triathlons, recently cycled 100Km around the Chilterns, cycled to Paris and have more triathlons, treks and long swims planned. I particularly enjoy treating the older athlete.

Fiona Bulstrode MCSP HCPC MMACP – Physiotherapist, Pilates Instructor & Practice Manager

I trained at St Thomas’ Hospital, qualifying in 1983 and worked for 2 years in South Africa where I developed an interest in trauma and orthopaedics. On my return I joined RNOH, Stanmore and undertook a number of courses during my 9 years there, including a 2 year musculoskeletal course, qualifying to join the Manipulative Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in 1990. Whilst working at the RNOH I developed a particular interest in treating shoulders, which I have continued to pursue.
I have also studied modified Pilates and value the combined concept of core stability, controlled movement and stretching, which I use in my treatment, as well as teaching at our physio-led Pilates classes in Chipperfield.
My main hobby is tennis, which I play regularly and have enjoyed a few years in the Herts Ladies Championship division and, of course, have an interest in tennis related injuries.

This has included rugby, football, swimming, golf, volleyball, running and gymnastics. I now coach junior rugby, which has developed my interest in treating paediatric sports injuries and hypermobility.
My spare time is spent with my young family, running and swimming. I also continue my commitment to learning and keep up with advances in physiotherapy and the medical world.
