Physiotherapy is more than one type of treatment, and the depth of my skills and expertise means that through careful questioning and easy functional tests I am able to diagnose the root cause of your problem and advise you on the most effective treatment plan including therapeutic exercises and self management advice. I can advise on a range of conditions including:

Back pain

Neck pain

Shoulder pain

Upper limb pain

Lower limb pain

Knee pain

Osteoarthritis

Sports Injuries

Sciatica

Nerve pain

Headaches

Whiplash associated disorders

Pregnancy related pain

Soft tissue injuries

Postural Dysfunction

Post surgery rehabilitation

IMS, Dry Needling and TCM acupuncture involve the use of very thin needles which are inserted into the tight muscles to decrease muscle tightness, increase blood flow and reduce pain. Treatment is based on scientific research and clinical evidence.

All needling techniques use single-use, pre-sterilised disposable needles of varying lengths, widths and materials.

A number of needles are used during a treatment session and may remain in position for up to 30 minutes before being removed. 

During the pre, peri and post menopausal years there are many changes to your physical and mental health due to fluctuating hormones and these changes in oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels can lead to many symptoms.

Treatment is based on your individual needs and a tailored exercise programme including strengthening exercises will be created for you and progressed as required. Throughout your programme you can ask questions and get support anytime using PhysiApp that allows you to follow exercise videos and report back on your progress.

Breathing is essential to life and breathing incorrectly can cause a variety of symptoms including but not limited to:

Musculoskeletal pain

Tension around the face, jaw, neck and shoulders

Frequent yawning and/sighing

Fatigue

Pins and needles in arms and hands

Feeling light headed/dizzy

Headaches

I can assess your breathing and educate you on what is 'good breathing'. You will be taught how to recognise poor breathing techniques and exercises to correct your breathing.

All sessions include a discussion about your symptoms, analysis of posture and movement if appropriate, self treatment advice and an individual therapeutic exercise programme tailored to your needs.

All advice will be emailed after the consultation.

If you are not responding to advice and exercise as I would expect or I feel that physiotherapy is not appropriate for you I will refer you to your GP or most appropriate person.
