Meet Our Team
Mairi Menzies
Mairi has over 30 years of experience as a physiotherapist and additional skills in acupuncture, vestibular rehabilitation (dizziness), and pilates. Mairi enjoys outdoor sports from running to hillwalking and ski touring. The collie cross “Mara” featured in the photo belongs to Mairi but is far too badly behaved to visit the clinic.
Ross Chesham
Graduated in 2012 from the University of Stirling (BSc Hons Sports and Exercise Science), Ross subsequently graduated from GCU (MSc Physiotherapy) in 2015. After a stint in the NHS, Ross began his PhD at the University of Stirling in 2016 (exploring strategies to offset the negative health impacts of prolonged sitting, as part of the Physiology, Exercise and Nutrition Research Group) and in the same year began working at Callander Physiotherapy. Ross has a keen interest in patients that have had knee replacements, or are about to have a knee replacement, having published an article on this topic in 2016. Also, as a keen kickboxer and gym goer, he enjoys treating a variety of sport and training related injuries.
Morag Felgate
Morag is a registered Swedish, Remedial, and Sports Massage Therapist. She is also a qualified Mat Pilates Instructor. When not massaging or doing Pilates, Morag enjoys either being in the outdoors, hillwalking and scrambling, or crafting.

Sue Hutchinson

Dr Fiona Syme
Dr Fiona Syme is a Clinical Psychologist. Having qualified in 2010, she has worked both in the NHS and privately. Clinical Psychologists are trained to Doctorate level in a wide range of evidenced based therapeutic modalities, which means that clients receive meaningful and tailored psychological support.
Every client will receive time to complete an assessment (3-5 sessions) which builds to a collaborative formulation (1-2 sessions) which then shapes the treatment plan which stays close to the goals of the client. An overarching goal is always to help clients gain a compassionate understanding of their presenting issues and to leave therapy feeling resilient with the skills to support their wellbeing longer term.
Dr Syme can work with a wide range of mental health problems across the life-span. For example; mood related issues, neurodevelopmental conditions, eating disorders, OCD, trauma and PTSD.
Please email or call Dr Syme directly to arrange a non-chargeable 15-minute telephone consultation:
