Physiotherapy

 

I take the time to thoroughly assess your problem. I have 40-minute long one-on-one consultations to fully address all aspects of your injury/pain and to guide you to a full recovery. Treatments may include any of the following:

• Mobilisation of stiff joints (using Maitland Mobilisations)

• Release of tight/overactive muscles using Trigger Point Release/ Myofascial Release/Dry Needling

• McKenzie approach to spinal disc problems

• Retraining for your postural/stabilizing/core muscle

• Strengthening of any weak muscles

• Advice and education, so that you fully understand your problem and what you need to do, or avoid doing, in order to get better

• Self-help strategies to give you the confidence and independence to help you to take a degree of control of your recovery.

• Prevention strategies to prevent injury recurrence

 

Pilates

 

I specialise in Group Mat Pilates Classes. These have the following benefits:

• Help to improve your health, body awareness, flexibility, balance, posture, strength and lead to more efficient movement and posture

• Classes focus on a well-balanced total body tune-up to strengthen muscles that are commonly weak, to stretch muscles that commonly tighten, and to improve balance, coordination and posture

• Classes are tailored to suit clients of all skills/level/ability

• Classes are modified to suit anyone with a pre-existing injury

• It is a cost effective way of doing Pilates. I use local community spaces that have low rent so that I can keep my classes affordable for everyone

• I believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the amazing benefits of Pilates

Special Pilates Mat Classes are available:

• Over 50s. All exercises are osteoporosis safe.

• Limited Mobility. All exercises are done in sitting or standing, so participants do not have to get up and down off the ground.

 

Both classes have the added social benefit of Pilates with a Latte!

 

One-on-one Consultations specific to your needs and using Real Time Ultrasound are also available.
