Judith Paterson

I became a Physiotherapist as I have always enjoyed exercise, team work and problem solving. I am so lucky to have a job that I love and one which provides so much satisfaction in helping people to overcome physical challenges and live the life they wish to lead.
Being part of such a strong team at Balanced is incredibly fulfilling as we all have different skills, allowing us to learn from one another and refer the patient to the very best person for them.

Expertise

Judith has over 30 years experience as a Physiotherapist during which time she has worked with a huge variety of patient's with both complex, chronic conditions to those with more acute or sport related injuries. Her expertise has spanned work within team sports, occupational health, MSK outpatients and Orthopaedics in both the NHS and private practice sectors.

Experience

Judith started her Physiotherapy career in 1991 working for the NHS and the Thistle Foundation charity before setting up her own Private Practice in 2002. During this time she spent 10 years as the Physiotherapy for the Edinburgh Academicals Rugby club and has maintained a keen interest in working in sports injury rehab.
Over the course of her career she has delivered many workshops, training sessions and seminars; including presenting to the Golden Jubilee Hospital Medical devices panel about the Apostherapy treatment programme.
Judith is also a great supporter of local charity It’s Good 2 Give and is frequently found doing a fund raising challenge.

Life outside work

I have never been one to put my feet up so my busy life suits me very well. You can find me out walking my dog, in the gym, dancing or socialising with friends and family. I also love a charity challenge and have been known to zip wire, abseil or hike for the charity I am an ambassador for, It's Good 2 Give!

My favourite thing

To completely chill I like nothing better than a massage at Balanced!
