Naama Merritt received her training in Israel and has worked for many years as a musculoskeletal and neurological physiotherapist. She is also an experienced Pilates instructor and uses exercises to develop functional strength and skills in her patients.

Her areas of strength include back pain, sciatica, shoulder and neck pain, cervicogenic headaches, and dizziness caused by vertigo (e.g. BPPV), as well as vestibular rehabilitation. She treats a broad range of orthopaedic conditions and is experienced with postoperative rehabilitation. Naama’s experience in neurological rehabilitation includes care of stroke victims, Parkinson’s Disease and spinal cord injuries. For such patients, the assessment may include sensory impairment, functional deficits, gait, etc.

Namma takes a focussed and holistic approach in assessment and care planning. For example, when dealing with chronic back pain and arthritis, a typical session may include manual therapy, personalised stretching and exercises, and advice on prevention and wellness.
