My philosophy

I believe the quality of care I provide begins with the quality of the practitioner I continue to become. Every patient deserves a high standard of assessment, treatment and clinical care.

What I offer

Techniques are chosen for the presentation in front of me, so most sessions blend several of these.

What to expect

Every appointment begins with a detailed assessment. Only then do I decide which treatment techniques are most appropriate.

We talk it through

A detailed health and injury history covering what hurts, how long it has been there, previous injuries, your work demands and training history, and what you need to get back to.

A thorough assessment

Movement and functional testing, postural assessment, gait analysis, palpation, muscle testing and relevant orthopaedic testing, with neurological screening where it's appropriate.

Treatment chosen from the findings

Only once I understand your presentation do I decide which techniques are most appropriate, including soft tissue and myofascial work, trigger point therapy, dry needling, cupping, joint mobilisation or muscle energy techniques.

A plan you understand

You leave knowing what I found and why, with an individualised management plan that may include corrective exercise, mobility work or movement retraining matched to your goals and physical demands.
