About Me

Louise Malone is an award-winning Consultant Physiotherapist in Oncology Care.
Her experience spans all types and stages of cancer and she is passionate about delivering exceptional care. Patients particularly value her highly supportive and empathetic approach, empowering them to achieve the highest

quality of life at every stage – before, during and after treatment.

Services I offer;

  • Cancer/Treatment related fatigue management programme: A thorough assessment of your daily routine and fatigue levels to formulate a practical plan to pace and manage daily activities.
  • Exercise programme and advice: An exercise programme based on your current level of activity, exercise goals and treatment regime. You will be advised on what exercise to do, when to do it and at what intensity, therefore minimising treatment related side effects and maximising your function before, during and after treatment.

  • General musculoskeletal: A comprehensive assessment and rehabilitation programme if you have experienced a loss of strength, deconditioning or a specific musculoskeletal problem.
