About Zaneta

Osteopath • Sports Rehabilitator • Movement Specialist

MEET ZANETA

I am an Osteopath and Sports Rehabilitator with a professional background spanning physiotherapy, osteopathy, sports rehabilitation and Applied Functional Science..

Throughout my career, I have developed a particular interest in understanding how the body moves, why injuries occur and how people can rebuild strength, movement and confidence following injury. My approach combines clinical assessment, hands-on treatment and progressive rehabilitation, always considering the individual rather than focusing only on the area where symptoms are felt.

I work with people of different ages and activity levels, from those experiencing everyday musculoskeletal pain to runners, cyclists, dancers and athletes involved in competitive and professional sport. I also have extensive experience supporting people through post-operative rehabilitation and women's health.

My aim is to help you understand your body, take an active role in your recovery and return to the activities that are important to you - whether that means moving comfortably in everyday life, getting back to exercise or returning to your sport.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of people, from those experiencing everyday musculoskeletal problems to active individuals, competitive athletes and people recovering from significant injuries and surgery.

My experience across osteopathy, physiotherapy and sports rehabilitation has given me a broad understanding of injury management, rehabilitation and movement. I combine clinical assessment, hands-on treatment and progressive exercise to help people recover, rebuild physical capacity and return to the activities that matter to them.

I continue to develop my clinical experience and knowledge through ongoing professional education and practical work.

PROFESSIONAL & COMPETITIVE SPORT

My experience extends into professional and competitive sport, where I have worked with athletes across professional ice hockey, rugby and football, as well as runners, cyclists, dancers and other active individuals.

Working in sporting environments has given me a strong understanding of the physical demands placed on athletes and the importance of appropriate injury management, rehabilitation and progressive return to sport.

I combine my clinical background with my training in sports rehabilitation and Applied Functional Science to look beyond the immediate injury and consider movement, physical capacity and the demands of the individual’s sport.

My aim is to help athletes recover from injury, maintain their physical capacity and return to their sport with confidence.

I saw Zaneta to help with back and neck pain brought on by pregnancy and breastfeeding. I was impressed with her attention to detail when doing the consultation and felt she really focused on the problems I'd described when treating me. She was very clear in communicating what she was doing and why she was using certain techniques which i found helpful and she took the time at the end to discuss how I could protect my back in the future. I was experiencing quite a bit of pain and immobility before seeing her and after two treatments am back to normal! Highly recommend her.

Zaneta has been working with me for over 2 years now on my ankle replacement recovery. She is extremely knowledgeable and has been a key part of making such a strong recovery. She has worked on the scar tissue on my ankle, with techniques such as the Graston technique.

I had a limp when I first met her, was very weak and lacked confidence! 2 years later I’m able do things such as ski and I had gained knowledge that I’m able to practice on independently.

Zaneta is an amazing Osteopath and sports rehabilitator. She has helped me to provide effective solutions for my ankle injuries. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and can expertly use different treatments such as rehabilitation and manual therapy. She provides personal home programmes to follow which greatly helped me too.
