    In addition to private practice, Umana’s interest in sports physiotherapy has led her to work with athletes ranging from track and field Olympic medallists to amateur marathon runners.

    Testimonies:

    ‘I first went to see Umana in March 2016 as part of my rehabilitation program at UME Diagnostics for an historical injury to my right ankle. The injury had been examined and reviewed by several previous specialists without any significant results. Umana was quick to identify the root of the problem and suggested a mixture of acupuncture, massage and corrective exercises. Over the next several weeks and months I was delighted by the progress I made under Umana. She undertook regular reviews of the ankle and foot, modifying the exercise programme and therapy accordingly. Six months later, I am now able to run on a treadmill without pain or severe imbalance, something I had not been able to do for several years prior. I found Umana to be an excellent physiotherapist, always helpful and able to explain in clear, precise language exactly what is wrong and how best to correct it. I cannot recommend her highly enough.’
