Trauma-Informed Specialist Physiotherapy & Integrative Somatic Wellbeing

In-person (North Hykeham, Lincoln) & Online (UK and worldwide)

I’m Ann Parkinson, founder of Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing (2009) where I work as a Pain and Fatigue Specialist Physiotherapist and Integrative Somatic Therapist.  

All offerings are trauma-informed and compassionate, for people living with persistent pain, fatigue-related conditions, and nervous system dysregulation.  Additionally, I work with leaders and organisations to cultivate compassionate workplaces and sustainable wellbeing. 
 
I work collaboratively with individuals, groups, and organisations remotely in the UK and world.  A small amount of appointments are available locally North Hykeham, Lincoln.  Support is tailored to meet each person’s or team’s unique needs.  Learn more about my background and qualifications here:

A Compassionate, Integrated Approach

My work combines evidence-informed Pain & Fatigue Specialist Physiotherapy with Integrative Somatic Therapy to support the whole person in a deeply person centred and collaborative way.  

Together, we focus on restoring trust in the body, supporting nervous system regulation, resilience, self-compassion and reconnecting with what matters most.

Care is grounded in trauma-informed principles and compassion.  I recognise that healing happens through the body, the nervous system, safety, and supportive relationships.  I blend:

  • Specialist Physiotherapy – supporting pain, fatigue, dysautonomia, and complex chronic conditions
  • Integrative Somatic Therapy – including embodiment, somatics, nervous system regulation, meditation/mindfulness, coaching, functional breathwork, and compassion-focused training

When physiotherapy isn’t clinically needed, Integrative Somatic Therapy can be offered as a standalone wellbeing and personal development pathway.

This approach supports sustainable change by gently building regulation, resilience, a sense of safety, and self-compassion.  This helps to build confidence in movement, presence, and daily life.  

This work is also grounded in neuroplasticity and the adaptability of the body, it nurtures meaningful, lasting change.

Who I Support

I work collaboratively with individuals, groups, and organisations to co-create plans, strategies, and practices that support compassion, presence, wellbeing, resilience, and meaningful change.  

In my 1:1 work I most commonly support individuals who are living with:

  • Persistent or chronic pain
  • Fatigue-related conditions (including ME/CFS and Long Covid)
  • PoTS and dysautonomia
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
  • Chronic stress, burnout, anxiety and nervous system dysregulation
  • Those who have experienced trauma, or over whelming life experiences 

Additionally, alongside my clinical work, I also support leaders, teams and organisations.  This includes:

  • Building compassionate, trauma-informed workplaces
  • Cultivating psychological safety, effective communication, and sustainable ways pf working 
  • Workplace wellbeing 
  • Professionals navigating high demand roles, stress, and/or burnout, or seeking more integrative and compassionate ways of working

Whether 1:1, in groups, or organisational settings, all work is grounded in trauma-informed, compassionate, somatic, and embodied approaches.

Integrative Somatic Wellbeing

Importantly, this underpins all my work — from 1:1 therapy to group offerings and workplace support.  Helping to cultivate:

  • Nervous system regulation and resilience
  • Compassion and emotional regulation
  • Embodied awareness and presence
  • Healing, growth, and personal development

About Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing

One of my guiding principles is: supporting people to move with more confidence and ease, reconnect with what matters, and live well.

Persistent pain, fatigue, trauma, chronic stress, or long-term illness can lead to a deep sense of disconnection — from your body, from others, and from what brings meaning and joy.  

I support you in gently rebuilding trust in your body.  We also focus on cultivating self-compassion, regulation, connection, and presence.  Together, we work toward a life aligned with your values — one that feels more meaningful, spacious, and alive.

Freedom from pain & energy
Together, through a collaboration and compassion, we can support you to heal, grow, and thrive
