Kelly Ridley

"I graduated with a degree in physiotherapy in 1995 and completed a Masters Degree in Manipulative Physiotherapy in 2006. I have 9 years experience working with chronic back and neck pain. My experience with specially designed courses to help patients understand and manage long term pain began in the private sector working with a team of doctors, psychologists, occupational therapists and fitness instructors. Using this experience and a special interest, I developed the Guys and St Thomas Functional Restoration Programme (pain management classes) which began in 2000 and continue to run today both in London and Brighton. The course you can attend is based on this programme."

Warren Travers

"I graduated in 1997 with a first class honours degree from Brighton University. I specialized in outpatient musculo-skeletal outpatients in 1999. Prior to running these courses, I worked for the NHS for 10 years, working as Superintendent Physiotherapist at Brighton General Hospital from 2005. Whilst working there, I played a leading role in examining the latest research available on the causes and prevention of long term pain conditions. I have been running FRP’s for 4 years, and am passionate about giving the patient ‘the best deal’ as regards to preventing flare-ups or reoccurrences of pain and minimizing the effects of long term pain problems - not just providing a ‘quick fix’. I am also a trained acupuncturist."
