“I enjoy treating neurological, respiratory and women’s health conditions and having undergone many training courses, have a deep interest in compassion focused therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Sarah Hayns
Practice Manager
“I have a background in healthcare with qualifications in vascular ultrasound and a Masters Degree in Medical Imaging. In Cambridge I set up and ran the Vascular Studies Unit at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, scanning patients with peripheral vascular disease. I went on to run my own cat sitting business and my partner’s ballroom dance business.
We moved to the island a few years ago and I am very excited to return to a patient-centred role here at PhysioCare. Having had a debilitating health condition that was rectified through a programme of myofascial release, I totally understand the power of
physiotherapy.
In my spare time I enjoy gentle exercise including dog walking, resistance training, yoga and Pilates. I also enjoy ballroom and Latin dance, which I have helped teach for several years.”
