Jacqueline Knox qualified from Leeds School of Physiotherapy in 1988 with a Graduate Diploma in Physiotherapy. Once graduated she went to work at University College Hospital in London where she gained experience in burns, outpatients, cardio-thoracic surgery, respiratory, orthopaedics and paediatrics. Her initial interest in normal movement started when she worked at The Royal Children’s Hospital in Brisbane , Australia. Here she learned about the neurological mechanisms under-pinning normal movement specialising in babies under the guidance of Professor Yvonne Burns, M.Phty., Ph.D

Jacqueline returned to Western Australia in 1993 to complete her post graduate diploma in Manipulative Therapy from Curtin University. During this time pilates and muscle imbalance were at the forefront of physiotherapy treatments and Jacqueline returned to the UK and set up one of the first physiotherapy/ pilates studios in 1996. Pilates machine work and pilates matwork classes are an integral part of treatment and rehabilitation at bh.

Jacqueline gained extensive experience working in private practice and the NHS in the UK and in Australia, working with dancers, footballers, rugby players, tri-athletes, equestrians and rowers. Jacqueline initially trained as a body control pilates teacher and then integrated the training of dance medicine Australia to further her clinical pilates. She then worked for GB Rowing from 1999 to 2008 where she introduced pilates as part of the injury prevention and performance enhancement programme. Jacqueline was lucky to be chosen as one of the physiotherapists to work with the GB Rowing team in Athens for the 2004 Olympic Games which was an amazing experience.

Jacqueline passionately believes in normal movement and how movement patterns change as a result of weakness, pathology and pain. She works with clients to re-establish normal movement with manual therapy and exercises. Each client is encouraged to work on their own bodies through active movement to bring about change , improve fitness and prevent re-occurrence. She currently works at her clinic near Stamford, Lincolnshire.
