Welcome to The Birkdale Clinic

Physiotherapy for neurological disorders - adult and paediatric

Farshideh Bondarenko DIP PHYSIO MCSP SRP

After qualifying in 1977, I immediately began to specialise in neurology within the NHS, working in many centres of neurological excellence, including

• The National Hospital for Neurology
• Great Ormond Street Hospital
• Old Court Clinic
• Grove Park School for physically challenged children
• Cheyne Hospital

Since 1987, I have practised from my own clinic, working with both adults and children across a range of neurological disorders.

My area of special interest lies with children and young adults. I have extensive professional experience of childhood conditions and, through my private practice, have had the unique opportunity of working very closely with children and their parents over longer time periods - a child or young adults' response to learning new movements through play, music and dance is a joy for them, their family and for me .

I continually update, expand and develop my professional knowledge through academic training as well as practical experience. I am interested in a broad range of physical therapy disciplines and draw upon a synthesis of techniques taken from , , and to provide a holistic and professional rehabilitation programme tailored to each individual.

My clients have allowed me to use the testimonials and photographs that you are able to see on my website to illustrate the benefits that they have received from our work together. To explore the potential for development in adults, young adults and children with neurological disorders is very often a mutually exciting and rewarding process which, given the opportunity, I look forward to sharing with you.

I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (MCSP) and also of the Organisation of Chartered Physiotherapists in Private Practice (OCPPP) and the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Neurology (ACPIN).

Please do not hesitate to contact me by email or phone to discuss further any aspect of my training and experience more fully.
