Aranee completed her Physiotherapy degree part time whilst working as an osteopath and later completed her studies at Leeds Beckett University. In her final year she chose two topics for further research, one being First Contact Practitioner (FCP) pathways and the other in Sexual Health. She has worked in primary care as an FCP since but more currently her main focus is working as a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist in the Perinatal Pelvic Health Service.

Aranee is always looking at ways to create more opportunities of service within the field. Furthermore she is also looking at opportunities to be a voice in the community and help in a more meaningful way to create change and awarnessness.

Aranee is constantly pushing herself to greater heights academically and with her career. She is currently seeing NHS patients in Bedfordshire, at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital. Appointments are  therefore limited. Furthermore, she is also specialising further and has a passion for helping patients holistically.

Physiotherapy uses the combination of using exercise advice along with manual therapy when required. Physiotherapy is more known to take the evidence based approach to healthcare. However it also entails a holistic approach taking into consideration all aspects of a patient's case history from their social history to lifestyle. Physiotherapy has a huge emphasis on functional rehabilitation and encouraging self empowerment.

What is the main difference between an osteopath and a physiotherapist? " I think this can be hard to explain; the main difference is that physiotherapy is more about exercise rehabilitation and teaching self management strategies and osteopathy is more about having more of a hands-on therapy approach to treatment.

However there is tremendous overlap between both professions and ultimately it is about what treatment the practitioner you see chooses to help with ones recovery to best help the patient with their concern. For example, some physiotherapists may use more of a hands on approach and some osteopaths may prescribe exercises too. I think that the skills across both professions can be incredibly useful to help patients and sometimes there is an overlap".

Fundamentally, it is about helping the patient taking into considerations all aspect of their story.
