Alison Hughes
(Physiotherapist)
Alison trained at Manchester Royal Infirmary, gaining a BSc in Physiotherapy in 1988. Her first role after graduating from university was in the NHS, where she worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, and developed her passion for musculoskeletal physiotherapy, having a special interest in Orthopaedics and Rheumatology, alongside this Alison joined Wrexham Physiotherapy Clinic in 1990.
Alison further developed her knowledge of musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries working at the practice, a local GP surgery and more recently as a physiotherapist for M Sport Ford World Rally team. In addition, she has experience in occupational health, has been clinical assessor for Salford University School of Physiotherapy and a lecturer in Sports and Exercise therapy at Wrexham University.Â
Alison believes that the most important aspect of her physiotherapy practice is understanding her patients’ symptoms and concerns, discussing assessment findings and treatment options, then tailoring a plan of action to resolve their issues and return them to full pain free activity, be it walking the dog or participating in elite sports.
Outside of work Alison has a very busy family life, having 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. She still has a passion for motorsport, and avidly follows the progress of her former colleagues in the World Rally Championship. She enjoys walking (in good weather) and loves to travel as often as opportunities arise
