About Pendennis Clinic
Chartered Physiotherapists undergo a medical training providing health professionals with an extremely broad knowledge of the body’s systems particularly to musculo-skeletal system, but also with regard to the respiratory( eg asthma, bronchitis, etc), neurological ( eg Stroke, Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis etc). Most physiotherapists spend some time gaining experience in the NHS to broaden their knowledge and experience. Some physiotherapists then choose to specialize in their area of interest.
The clinic currently has three Chartered Physiotherapists:
Penny White qualified in 1976 at the Middlesex Hospital, London ( now formed the University College London Hospitals). Penny continued to work in the NHS gaining experience in general physiotherapy in Surrey, then as a senior physiotherapist on the cardiac unit at the Bristol Royal Infirmary.
After a five year family break, Penny worked part-time at Southmead, then Frenchay hospital, and in a GP surgery, and then started moving into the private sector working at the Glen.
Penny then spent 9 years as a joint physiotherapist with Gloucestershire County Cricket Club gaining experience in the treatment of professional sportsmen.
