AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
FASCIA is the connective tissue between your muscles, bones, nerves and organs. It makes up your potential for movement.
Restoring fascial glide means enhancing function and proprioception achieving incredible results on your health.
This relieves tension, reduces pain, anxiety and fatigue, improves circulation, digestion and decompress neural tension.
I use a succession of fascia manipulation combined with movement analysis to restore a complete body function.
Delivering the most appropriate treatment beneficial to individual needs for optimal healing.
Clinical Pilates
Changing a movement pattern can be a long and tiring process. I can't express more how necessary it is to have diversity in your movement program for a successful change to your habitual patterns. You can come to the office or do virtual movement sessions.
My Pilates based movement programs and classes are designed to help you towards a successful habitual change. It provides a platform for motivation, the opportunity to ask bio-mechanical questions and have your intrinsic isolated movements looked at, corrected and add more challenging ones for your progression
In my office there is space for 2 people with similar objectives, for example you both have shoulder issues, to work in a class like environment or for your convenience you can choose a virtual class, it's essential however that I have seen you in person before entering a group movement class to work out your specific needs.
Myofascia Massage
Myofascia release massage compliments my other treatments keeping tissues hydrated for maintenance & reduce fatigue. This is a great option if you have been through a series of sessions already or just passing through.
In this treatment there may not be any specific structural goals. A 90min session is suggested for a full body treatment.
Lubricating fascia sets up the environment for cellular recovery & for adaptability in movement which gives the body the ability to have a positive experience in both sport & daily life. Myofascial restrictions can cause: pain, limited motion, poor shock absorption, dehydration of tissues & joint stiffness. Therefore a body that is malleable & adaptive will be affected less by both physical & emotional stress.
Integrated Package
Incorporating 4 body work sessions with 3 follow up movement sessions in-between to track your progress. An initial 2 hour consultation involves a movement analysis, deep fascial release & a personalised re-education program.
Follow up movement sessions are to keep track of your progress, ask questions & add progression in your program. Movement patterns lie in your tissues nervous system in layers so each body work session to follow is adapted to the changing of your postural evolution.
The result is to give you back the control of knowing how to move pain free, efficient in movement towards improved habits for better function.
Pregnancy Massage
This is a wonderful way to promote overall wellness, reduce stress for both mother & baby. I also provide core & pelvic floor rehabilitation treatments post birth, to recover & re-balance muscle tone & restore scared tissues.
In this session we address the normal discomforts experienced during & after pregnancy such as; backaches, pelvic adaptations, stiffness, cramps, headaches & swelling. Reducing stress on weight-bearing joints, encouraging circulation, relax nervous tension, aiding in sleep & can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.
I take extra care to ensure mother is comfortable, adapting her position with an adjustable table so she can be in side lying or sitting with pillows & props.
