Clinic Bio
Having initially studied and qualified in massage in 1999, I decided to expand my training by studying and qualifying in a Diploma in Sport and Remedial Massage with the highly regarded NLSSM.
Having worked in multidisciplinary clinic settings alongside Chiropractors, Osteopaths and other allied health professionals, I am experienced in working with patients who may be challenged by a wide range of complaints, including soft tissue dysfunction resulting from every-day ‘niggles’ sports type injuries or chronic pain conditions. I also have experience of delivering therapy within an inpatient hospice setting and hospital based complementary cancer centre.
My training allows me to assess, treat and rehabilitate a range of minor injury issues as well as the management of chronic (long term) pain disorders and Oncology. I will treat you using a number of advanced soft tissue techniques including Myofascial Release, Muscle Energy Technique and Soft Tissue Release in a personalised treatment plan to relieve pain and improve function.
In addition to the use of traditional massage techniques I specialise in scar therapy working with injuries and surgical scars incorporating fascial release and Scar therapy approaches where needed. Scar therapy is a very gentle treatment for scars resulting from surgery (including elective / cosmetic), injury or accident. It can help with sensitivity issues, smooth lumps and bumps, improve cosmetic appearance and help the movement of the whole area. I have advanced training in breast, pelvic and abdominal scarring and c-sections. I approach each patient as whole person looking at overall movement and mechanics to get to the root cause of the pain and dysfunction.
All my treatments and services are designed around helping you achieve your goals. I’m passionate about helping everyone enjoy good health whatever health issues they have faced and with having a personal interest in running, walking, pilates and skiing I’ve also had my fair share of aches, pains and injuries!
