Annette Williams
Annette Storm Williams BSc (Chiro), DC, PGCert (Rehabilitation), is a founding Partner of The Spine Team. Annette graduated from Anglo European College of Chiropractic (AECC) in Bournemouth in 1996 and on graduation she worked for 4 years in Kings Lynn. Annette moved to Basingstoke in 2000 and started specialising in rehabilitation of patients with chronic (long term) spinal problems. She has continuously played a key role in developing The Spine Team core stability programme and continues to research the importance and advantages of core stability exercises and ways of implementing it successfully into practice.
Having gained her Postgraduate Certificate in Rehabilitation Annette hopes to provide patients with more individualised care and directing their self-management options. Since then her further research suggests that the future of back pain medicine lies in more effective communication to patients.
Annette believes that many practitioners in orthodox and alternative medicine fail to understand the importance of the patient’s perspective and the damaging effects of suffering long term pain. She has looked at concepts in adult education and learning strategies. She hopes that she will be able to use this specific knowledge to help long term sufferers by helping them to understand what can be done for them and how they can become part of the solution to their own problem.
Quality and effectiveness of care are important to all practitioners of The
Spine Team and Annette is therefore currently working to identify ways of
improving quality, effectiveness and satisfaction of all
patients.
