Brid Walsh Founder of Alba Physiotherapy. Brid qualified in 2004) with a BSC Honours Degree in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Limerick, Ireland. In evaluating her future path, she spent a summer in Alaska with the Hope Foundation supporting disabilities of various sorts. Her further work experience in the Rehabilitation Centre in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin convinced her that Physiotherapy was the direction she wished to specialise in. In 2007 she subsequently qualified from the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen with an MSC in Physiotherapy. Since 2007 she has worked in Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh in a mix of private practice clinics and the NHS Highland. She has also enjoyed working with various Scottish Sports Teams, Scottish Surf Lifesaving Team, Gaelic Football, Scottish Women’s Academy Rugby Teams and Scottish Men’s University Rugby both at home and abroad. After a holiday in the Highlands, she felt ‘at home’ with its people and culture feeling a close connection with her Irish roots. She relocated and founded Alba Physiotherapy in 2013, the first and only Chartered Human Physiotherapy and Veterinary Physiotherapy Clinic in the Highlands. She has postgraduate studies in Hippotherapy and Pilates and continues to keep pace with research, training and development. When not in the Clinic Brid enjoys biking or hillwalking and returning when possible to her family in Ireland. FUN FACT! – Brid has recently learnt how to ride a dirt bike motorbike “and now I’m hooked”.
