Lower back pain
Persistent or recurring low back pain, stiffness after sitting, and pain that limits bending, lifting or training. Assessment looks at the hips, pelvis and movement patterns above and below the painful area, not just the back itself.
Conditions I treat
Musculoskeletal pain, injury and movement dysfunction, plus lymphatic and recovery support. If what you're dealing with isn't on this list, that's okay. The assessment will tell us either way whether I'm the right person to help.
What I'm known for
The five presentations I see most often.
Sciatica & nerve-related pain
Pain, tingling or referral travelling from the low back into the glute, hamstring or calf. Treatment settles the irritated tissue first, then works on the lumbar and hip mobility and strength that keep it from returning.
Hip pain
Gluteal tendinopathy, hip impingement, lateral hip pain and deep hip restriction. Often bound up with how you load the leg, so assessment includes gait, single-leg control and the demands of your work or sport.
Neck pain & stiffness
Restricted rotation, desk-related tension through the upper traps, and headaches that start at the base of the skull. Treatment addresses the neck alongside the thoracic spine, shoulders and postural load driving it.
Shoulder pain
Rotator cuff–related pain, impingement, frozen shoulder and pain with overhead movement. Assessment covers shoulder blade control and thoracic mobility, which frequently drive symptoms felt at the shoulder itself.
