About Malgorzata

In 1995, I graduated from the University of Physical Education, Poznan, in Poland with an Honours degree in Physiotherapy.

I gained my practical experience working at first in a Paediatric Centre and afterwards in the County Hospital in Radom, Poland - rotating between the Orthopaedic, Neurology, Rheumatology and Cardiology wards.

My experience in England started in private clinics where I worked alongside osteopaths in the Coach House Clinic in Tenterden.

I have also worked in St Bartholomew’s Intermediate Care Hospital in Rochester and Tunbridge Wells Hospital, providing services to adults to help them achieve independence and their own personal goals.

I've been working in Benenden Hospital since 2013, supporting patients in their recovery from muscular skeletal injuries and orthopaedic surgeries.

In my free time, I love swimming, hiking and visiting the countryside and seaside.

I provide the following treatments and services at Benenden Hospital:

Diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries
Pre-operative and post-operative orthopaedic rehabilitation
Integrated myofascial therapy, soft tissues release, therapeutic massage techniques and trigger point therapy
Postural education
Pain management

I use a range of different techniques such as soft tissue release, massage, heat/cold, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, therapeutic exercises to help my patients achieve the best possible improvement with their mobility and well-being.

Walk for your health

Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to become healthier and, since May is National Walking Month, it’s a great time to start. A brisk daily walk has a positive impact on the body, both physically and mentally, and counts towards your 150 minutes of weekly exercise recommended by the World Health Organisation.

Don’t let your fitness take a dive: A guide To swimmer's back

When it comes to back pain, swimming is known to have many easing benefits, not least the low-impact weightless environment, relief of compassion on your nerves and an increase in blood circulation. It’s one of the most effective forms of cardiovascular exercise for all ages.

A guide to swimmer's neck

Although swimming is a fantastic low-impact, joint-friendly exercise for all age groups and is a relatively injury-free sport, it can put repetitive demands on certain muscles, bones, ligaments or tendons, resulting in some common overuse injuries. These are often caused by poor technique, and although roughly 90 per cent of these swimming injuries are in the shoulders, your back and neck can suffer too.
