How do I treat?
How I treat will of course depend on who I am treating and treatment plans are developed with the individual’s specific goals, needs and preferences in mind.
As an example gentler techniques will be used in pregnancy, the elderly or the very young.
Treatment may consist of:
Spinal manipulative therapy ("adjusting")
Joint mobilisation
Soft tissue work including massage, trigger point therapy, cupping or stretching techniques
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation
Dry Needling (western acupuncture)
Use of blocks
Taping
Exercise rehabilitation
Lifestyle advice such as discussion around sleep, stress management or nutrition
Working with others
Sometimes, an individual will need more than one expert to help them out, and in these cases I will look to work with others, using a multi-disciplinary approach to get you moving in the right direction.
I really am proud to deliver high quality care with compassion and expertise and look forward to helping people achieve their most healthy and active life possible, whether they are recovering from injury or chronic pain, or simply looking to enhance performance. With hands-on care, exercise prescription and education I want to enable and support you to do more of the things you love!
