Helen Legg - Admin manager
Helen is your first point of contact as a patient at Wareham Physiotherapy. She will book your appointment, give you all the information you need regarding your visit to us and be the point of contact during your time with us for any queries or issues.
As well as booking and liaising with you, she also deals directly with our referring insurance companies and organises our team of Physiotherapists on a day to day basis.
Helen grew up in Dorset and after leaving school worked in the Civil Service for 10 years, where in the latter years she became a regional staff trainer. She has been working with the team at Wareham Physiotherapy since 2016 and she is, in the opinion of the rest of us, utterly indispensable!
Her interests include exercising, yoga and walking, particularly along the coast, and spending time with her family – especially going on holiday to Disney!

Katharine Binning - Grad. DIP. Phys. MCSP
Katharine trained and qualified as a Physiotherapist in Glasgow Caledonian University where she worked for two years before moving to gain further experience in The Channel Isles. There she honed her musculoskeletal skills whilst spending time with patients in an acute injury / A+E, Orthopaedic and Fracture Clinic, Trauma and Post-operative Rehabilitation and Hydrotherapy settings.
Katharine combined her love of travel and rehabilitation and briefly undertook voluntary work in Eritrea, helping to restore the lives of lower limb Amputees during the civil conflict. Katharine’s role extended to include training Physiotherapy assistants in an underground hospital.
She has always considered it a privilege to work as part of a holistic rehabilitation team helping her clients on their recovery journey from full dependence and immobility to a life of independence and healing. Katharine has worked at all levels of the rehabilitation journey from pre-operative, post-surgical, inpatient hospital therapy, outpatient clinic settings and home visits / home based therapy.
Since joining the Wareham Physiotherapy team in 2021 she has been able to show her compassionate nature and utilise her many years of experience to help individuals with their rehabilitation needs either in their own home or in the clinic where each treatment plan is tailored to help her patients achieve their goals and expectations.
Katharine feels enormously blessed to have moved to beautiful Dorset and loves getting outside, whether for long walks, playing golf or challenging her dog in agility skills. At home she enjoys cooking for friends, listening to classical music and pouring them a glass of decent red. She is a keen and accomplished traveller and particularly loves Israel, The Greek islands and Skiing in The Canadian Rockies.
