What can I help with ?

Addressing Chronic and Acute Pain conditions, I addresses specific problem areas of the body & can alleviate pain or discomfort by providing a treatment that is tailored to your specific needs and presenting symptoms.

Conditions I treat regularly....
​

• Repetitive Strain Injury
  
• Headaches & Migraines
  
• Neck Pain
  
• Low Back Pain
  
• Acute Pain
  
• Ongoing Pain
  
• Muscular Tension Patterns

Pain is a necessary system to alarm the body that there is an issue somewhere - it is a useful protective mechanism.  However, things can sometimes spiral out of control and we can enter what's referred to as the "pain:spasm cycle".  

​Treatments aim to break this cycle, over-ride pain signals and regain normality.

How can I do this ?

The area of pain is not always the area of dysfunction - with this in mind, I aim to resolve the issue via evaluation & assessment, as well as hands-on-therapy.

I may do this through....
​
Soft Tissue Massage
Joint Mobilisations
Neuromuscular Techniques (MET'S, PNF'S, Trigger Point Therapy)
Stretching
Myofascial Work
Medical Acupuncture
Intuitive Healing
Advise and Home Care

​Pain signals can in fact remain active long after the initial causative factor is sorted,  and the psychological impact of chronic pain can remain (even when pain-provoking structures have healed), which exaggerate the notion of living with chronic pain. I will guide you in techniques that may help, referring on to a network of talking-therapy professionals if appropriate.
