Sarah Deakin, BSc, MSc, MCSP
Hello! I'm Sarah, I'm a Physiotherapist specialising in Musculoskeletal conditions. I currently work as a Senior Physiotherapist within the NHS locally. I am a certified Pilates instructor and offer group Pilates classes and private 1:1 Clinical Pilates sessions around Diss on the Norfolk and Suffolk border. I am also a qualified Sports Massage Therapist and offer deep tissue massage or therapeutic sports massage.
​
The Human body and the way it works has always interested me, as an undergraduate, I studied Human Sciences at UCL as an undergraduate. After a snowboarding knee injury, I was inspired to study Physiotherapy later at masters level at UEA. After graduating, I worked in hospitals in older peoples medicine and stroke and neurology wards before specialising in musculoskeletal conditions.
I like to think of myself as a "movement optimist". I have seen how using an evidence informed physiotherapy approach can transform peoples lives, and gets them back to doing what they love.
I am a fully certified Pilates instructor after completing my training with APPI. This is a course designed by physios, meaning it has lots of different variations of the classical Pilates movements to make it adaptable, whatever your starting level. I love watching clients get stronger and more confident in their bodies.
​
I live in the Norfolk/Suffolk border with my husband and our baby daughter. We love to be outside as much as possible with our dog.
