Treatments for pain
What can I help with ?
the 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....
Pain is sometimes a necessary system to alarm the body that there is an issue somewhere - it is a useful protective mechanism. It is a complex phenomenon, and pain science is an advancing area of interest. However, things can sometimes spiral out of control and we can enter what's referred to as the pain:spasm cycle, or pain signals can fire off, not truly reflecting the level of injury (think how painful a paper cut is in relation to the level of tissue damage)
Treatments aim to break this cycle, educate on pain management strategies, and regain healthy neural pathways.
Conditions I treat regularly....
- Repetitive Strain Injury
- Headaches & Migraines

- Low Back Pain

How can I do this ?
The area of pain is not always the area of dysfunction, and with this in mind, I aim to resolve the issue via evaluation & assessment, as well as hands-on-therapy. I work with you to help you understand, and I aim to empower you to help yourself.
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 / exercise plans / S&C advise
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 professionals if appropriate.
