James Thomson

James grew up in the Scottish Borders, on top of a hill outside the town of Kelso. He gained his initial interest in physiotherapy after discovering he was far too soft for Rugby (although it took him 17 years to work that out!) and embarked on his career, which has to date brought in many hours of study and work, including two Masters Degrees. In 2012, having graduated 7 years earlier and on track to complete their second MSc, Alan K and James felt confident enough in their skills to found Move Better Physiotherapy. It seems like no time has passed at all to where they are now working with an exciting team of clinicians in three clinics! In his spare time he likes to hang out with his beautiful girls Evie and Sophie and wife Bethany. He looks forward to seeing you in one of our clinics and genuinely feels we have the clinical skills and motivation in our team to make a big impact on your care.

She has for the past 17 years worked in NHS Ayrshire & Arran as a Senior Physiotherapist as well as in private practice. Paula has a wealth of experience in MSK and Orthopaedics, having developed a Knee Joint Arthroplasty Class within South Ayrshire and successfully completed a Research Project highlighting the benefits and results. She has a keen interest in the Pre and Postnatal client group and has spent time alongside the Women's Health Speciality. Pain Management is another specialist area where Paula has a strong knowledge base and experience which she uses in her daily practice. I have 19 years post graduate experience of physiotherapy and after hip surgery 18 years ago I began my Pilates journey as part of my rehabilitation. I initially joined Classical Pilates Classes to increase my strength and flexibility at my hip but to also help me with my hypermobility. I became aware of Physio led Pilates and found that this really complemented my back ground as a physiotherapist. I have now become a fully certified Australian Physiotherapist Pilates Institute mat work instructor and I am excited to start sharing my knowledge and expertise with you all. Aside from her busy work schedule, Paula has two beautiful children and is involved with charity work in her local area.
