Michelle Broughton is a Occupational Therapist with a special interest in persistent pain, mental health and sports science. She is dedicated to helping clients live rich, meaningful lives by empowering them to take control of their recovery journey.
Michelle's curiosity and desire to understand the unique relationship between the mind, body, and social interactions led her to pursue a career in Occupational Therapy.
