Farana qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2010 after graduating with an MSc in Rehabilitation Science (pre-reg) from Glasgow Caledonian University. Previously, she qualified with a BSc in Anatomy & Physiology from Dundee University. She is registered with the governing body for Physiotherapists, the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC), and with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).

She has largely worked in Private healthcare including hospitals, private clinics and sports settings. She has extensive experience in musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, hand therapy and sports physiotherapy. Additional training she has attained includes acupuncture with the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists, sports massage with the Scottish Massage School and Pilates with the world-renowned Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute. With her wealth of knowledge, experience and ‘tools’ in her treatment box, Farana provides an extensive assessment and hands-on treatment, individually tailored to each client.

When Farana isn’t working, she is kept (extremely) busy with her 4 year old boy. They enjoy hiking, cycling and anything else outdoorsy.

Originally from Utah, I trained at the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2005. I have practiced bodywork for many years and love the tangible impact it offers my clients. The human body is amazing in its ability to cope and adapt to carry us through life. Having the skills to help aide and improve a client’s mobility and mental wellbeing naturally is extremely rewarding.
