Team
Maddie Parker
Director, Founder, Head Physiotherapist
Maddie is the founder and Head Physiotherapist at PhysioBagnes. She graduated with first-class honours from the University of Hertfordshire in 2015 and has since built over a decade of experience in both the UK and Switzerland. After extensive practice within the NHS, she moved to Verbier, later gaining Swiss recognition of her degree through the Croix-Rouge Suisse and achieving C1 level French in 2023.
Her specialism lies in complex case management across musculoskeletal, respiratory, neurological, rheumatological, and orthopaedic conditions. Maddie takes a proactive approach to rehabilitation, focusing on restoring movement, preventing re-injury, and helping patients get back to the activities they love.
Having represented Switzerland in touch rugby - and having personally recovered from an ACL reconstruction - she brings valuable insight into both elite sport and long-term knee rehabilitation.
