About Me

Having suffered an accident resulting in a herniated disc, I was unable to move fluidly. I had severe pain in my lower back and constant sciatic pain surging down my leg. I was advised to have an operation to remove the disc and fuse the vertebrae, but instead I opted for manual therapy and rehabilitation exercises as my form of treatment.

During my recovery, I researched more on how the body works, learning how to activate, stretch & strengthen muscles. This  proved to be hugely important in making a full recovery from my injury.       

My personal experience fuelled my passion for massage therapy and rehabilitation, which led me to becoming a qualified PT, sports massage therapist, biomechanics coach, acupuncturist and Tuina massage therapist.

Knowing how debilitating physical pain and limitations can be, I am committed to helping you recover and improve your physical wellbeing through therapeutic interventions. I work with my clients to develop a personalised treatment plan that focuses on reducing pain, improving mobility, increasing strength and promoting overall health and wellbeing.

Key Components of “My Therapy Method”

Muscle Energy Techniques (MET):

These techniques involve your active participation to stretch and strengthen muscles, enhancing function and flexibility.

Soft Tissue Release:

This focuses on manipulating muscles and connective tissue to alleviate pain and restore movement.

By targeting the connective tissue (fascia), we alleviate tension and improve movement and flexibility.

Muscle Activation:

It ensures that muscles are firing correctly and working efficiently, preventing imbalances and injuries.

TuiNa:

A traditional Chinese medicine massage technique that uses rhythmic compression along energy channels of the body to establish flow and balance of energy.
