About Us

MARGARET REES, MSc MCSP

Margaret is a very experienced Consultant Physiotherapist with an impressive list of qualifications and special interests. She has achieved a Masters Degree in Orthopaedic Medicine, which means she is a Clinical Specialist in the treatment of musculo-skeletal conditions - such as back problems, frozen shoulder, bursitis and tennis elbow - and their clinical diagnosis. This also allows her to treat certain patients with steroid injections which are highly effective in some cases where traditional physiotherapy is not appropriate.

A familiar figure in Worcestershire, Margaret’s reputation reaches considerably further afield. As a Fellow and former Chairman of The Society of Orthopaedic Medicine she regularly lectures both in the UK and Europe on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the spine and other joints.

Margaret is also qualified in the use of acupuncture for the treatment of musculo-skeletal problems, and also Pilates, both of which are becoming increasingly popular. She is a former Chairperson of the Worcestershire branch of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.

PAUL DANDO, MCSP

Paul qualified from Sheffield Polytechnic in 1981 and thereafter gained his general experience at Sandwell General Hospital, where he later ran the outpatient department for two years. He began working with the practice in 1989, whilst also working at the Droitwich Private Hospital. In 1994 he started his own practice in Halesowen and then amalgamated with Watson and Rees when he joined as a partner in 1999.

With a special interest in musculo-skeletal and sports injuries – particularly soft tissue injuries and spinal problems - Paul is a familiar face to sportsmen from numerous local sports clubs.

He is a Member of the Society of Orthopaedic Medicine and has also trained to become a member of the Acupuncture Association of Physiotherapists, often using this form of therapy as part of his treatment.

JAMES PICKUP, BSC MCSP

James graduated from Coventry University in 1999 with a first class honours degree in physiotherapy and has recently joined Worcestershire Physiotherapy as a partner, having worked freelance with the practice for the past few years.

Prior to this James gained extensive musculo-skeletal experience both in hospitals and in the community, where he worked closely with a number of GP practices.

In order to further develop his career, James has undertaken numerous post-graduate courses, including acupuncture and spinal manipulation, and in 2003 achieved Membership of the Society of Orthopaedic Medicine.
