Charmaine Richards

Charmaine Richards brings over a decade of expertise in children’s musculoskeletal care to Mode Physiotherapy in Woodborough, Nottingham. She holds an MSc in Allied Health Professional Studies and a BSc (Hons) in Human Biology and Health Science, qualifying to practice in 2006.

Since 2010, Charmaine has focused her career on helping children and young people—from newborns to teens—manage a wide range of orthopaedic and spinal issues. Her practice is guided by compassion, clear communication, and a commitment to restoring function, mobility and confidence. Whether returning to sport or simply enjoying everyday play, Charmaine ensures each child receives tailored, evidence-based care.

In her leadership role within a large NHS organisation, Charmaine heads the paediatric musculoskeletal and spinal service, including advanced responsibilities such as ordering imaging like MRIs and X-rays, and arranging blood tests. She runs specialist clinics that offer efficient, coordinated care for families navigating complex health needs.

Charmaine is also trained in APPI Matwork Pilates (Levels 1 & 2), adding an extra dimension to her rehabilitation methods through structured movement and strength-building techniques.

Beyond the clinic, Charmaine enjoys spending time with her young family and supporting their football passions. Her personal commitment to fitness sees her regularly attending gym sessions—whether spin, reformer, or circuit-based training.
