Autorenporträt

Karen Leslie is a chartered physiotherapist specialising in neurological rehabilitation. She works in private practice with people who have disorders or damage to the brain, spinal cord or nervous system and developed an interest in ME/CFS through her clinical work. Karen also has a background in journalism and communications. Dr Nicola Clague-Baker is a chartered physiotherapist with over 30 years' experience and currently teaches neurological physiotherapy and research at the University of Liverpool. She has a special interest in ME/CFS as her closest friend has been living with the condition for over 30 years, which inspires Nicola to continue to find solutions through research and education. Since qualifying as a chartered physiotherapist over 30 years ago, Dr Michelle Bull has worked in clinical and non-clinical roles with an emphasis on supported self-management of long-term conditions, including cardiac rehabilitation, cancer rehabilitation, physical activity promotion and more recently Long Covid. She has extensive knowledge and experience of ME/CFS due to the condition affecting family members. Natalie Hilliard works clinically as a chartered physiotherapist in private practice, covering musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and specialising in the management of ME/CFS and Long Covid. Natalie was inspired by her close friend, who has post-viral severe ME, and it is through knowing her friend that Natalie has learnt so much more about this illness. Natalie continues to be inspired to learn more and to help others with ME/CFS.
