About Me
I am Cleo Jackson, Director and specialist neuro physiotherapist of Jackson Physio. Nice to meet you!
With 18 years of experience as a chartered physiotherapist in both NHS and private settings, I am dedicated in helping people with various physical difficulties rehabilitate and optimise their potential.
Before setting up Jackson Physio in 2021, I was honoured to work as part of the team at the highly reputable specialist neurological physiotherapy clinic Therapy Matters, in Chester (with whom I maintain a strong link with) under the founder/clinical lead specialist Clare Fraser. Here I received regular in-service training and supervision, alongside gaining invaluable experience of working with a complex and diverse caseload. Prior to that I worked for many years in the NHS, including senior roles within orthopaedics and also major trauma rehabilitation, within both acute and community settings.
My goal with starting Jackson Physio was to deliver a high quality and unique community-based neurological physiotherapy service within South Liverpool. Staying local allows me to maintain a better balance of having a young family, while still doing the job I love and am passionate about.
I keep up to date with my clinical skills through clinical supervision and maintain strong links with other highly skilled therapist colleagues and peers.
I am also qualified to Level 3 British Sign Language and am currently towards the end of my Level 6 BSL course.
I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and am registered with the Health Care Professional Council (HCPC)
