Specialist Foot, Ankle and Knee Expertise 

Suzanne Gray is a Foot, Ankle & Knee Specialist Physiotherapist with over 30 years of clinical experience. She qualified as a physiotherapist in 1994 and completed an MSc in Neuromusculoskeletal Therapy in 2001, gaining accreditation with the Musculoskeletal Association of Chartered Physiotherapists.

Suzanne provides specialist assessment and rehabilitation for a broad range of foot, ankle and knee conditions. She has a particular interest in tendinopathy and tendon rehabilitation, including persistent tendon pain affecting walking, running and sport.

Her approach combines detailed assessment, clear diagnosis and structured rehabilitation. She considers local tissue health alongside strength, biomechanics, movement control, training demands and the way force is distributed throughout the lower limb.

Suzanne can request and interpret appropriate diagnostic imaging where this is clinically indicated. She also works closely with GPs, orthopaedic teams and rheumatology services, helping patients access further investigation or specialist input when required.

Specialist Areas of Clinical Practice

Suzanne provides specialist assessment for both recent injuries and persistent foot, ankle and knee problems that have not improved with rest, general exercises or previous treatment. Her role is not simply to identify where it hurts, but to determine the likely diagnosis, understand why symptoms are persisting and establish the most appropriate route forward.

Her clinical work includes tendon-related pain, ankle injuries and instability, plantar heel pain, osteoarthritis of the foot, ankle, big toe and knee, patellofemoral pain, meniscal and ligament injuries, bone-stress injuries and rehabilitation following surgery. She has particular expertise in tendinopathy, biomechanics and the progression of rehabilitation for walking, running and sport.

Assessment considers the affected tissue alongside strength, joint movement, lower-limb mechanics, footwear, training demands and response to load. Rehabilitation is then tailored to the diagnosis and the activities each patient wants to regain rather than based on a generic programme.

Where the diagnosis remains uncertain or further information would alter treatment, Suzanne can request and interpret diagnostic imaging. She can also provide injection therapy where clinically appropriate and liaise with GPs, orthopaedic teams or rheumatology services when further investigation or specialist medical input is required.

If your particular condition is not listed, Suzanne can still help. A specialist assessment can clarify the likely source of your symptoms and guide rehabilitation, imaging, treatment or onward referral as appropriate.

What Suzanne Enjoys Treating

“I have a particular interest in managing lower-limb tendon injuries and helping people return to the activities they enjoy, whether that is pain-free walking, hiking, running or competitive sport.

I enjoy working with both active individuals and athletes, supporting them through structured rehabilitation that builds strength, resilience and confidence over time.

Helping people understand their injury and how to load and move safely is an important part of my approach. I find it especially rewarding when someone regains trust in their body and feels confident returning to the activities that matter to them.”

A Little About Suzanne

Outside the clinic, Suzanne spends much of her time outdoors and can often be found running on the trails of the South Downs or exploring Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons. Completing the Three Peaks Challenge further developed her passion for trail running.

Suzanne is also an experienced triathlete and has completed three full Ironman events in Spain. She is a British Triathlon Level 2 coach with Portsmouth Triathletes and enjoys helping others with their training.

Her own experience of running, cycling and endurance sport gives her a practical understanding of the physical and psychological demands involved in building capacity and returning confidently from injury.
