Who I Am

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist, Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner® and Qualified Acupuncture Physiotherapist

About me: Romyna Menendez PortraitMy name is Romyna  and I am a musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner® with 15 years of experience in Orthopaedic and neurological Physiotherapy.

I graduated in Physiotherapy from The Sapienza University of Rome in 2005 and in 2009 I graduated from the four-year Feldenkrais training with Ruthy Alon. I am a member of the Italian Feldenkrais Guild.

I held a clinical position at the Israelite Hospital in Rome, leading the inpatient and outpatient neurological and orthopaedic rehabilitation teams for many years before moving to Bristol.

I work as a physiotherapist at Emersons Green NHS Hospital, Bristol,  where my caseload consists mainly of post-operative minor and major orthopaedic inpatients and outpatients, and I’m also working as a self-employed physiotherapist in a private clinic, where caseloads involve assessing, treating and managing a wide variety of patients across all age ranges with various musculoskeletal conditions.  I am able to utilise my skills in mobilisation, manual therapy, electrotherapy, exercise therapy and taping.  I am also experienced in the Graston technique and Feldenkrais method.

I have been a member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists since 2021. Through successful use of these skills, I have received positive feedback from patients and within the local community.
