Hands-on treatment tailored to you. I don't use generic exercise sheets but instead target the underlying cause to free you from pain. I specialise in helping people with reoccurring or long-term (chronic) pain.
Specialism in long-term issues
Having suffered myself with back pain for several years from my teens, I now specialise in these long-term and/or reoccurring issues. I love to help people by ending their daily pain and getting them back to living and enjoying life again.
Not just backs, I focus on the cause
This means I don't just treat backs, but any part of the body from head to foot. Indeed, the actual root cause of pain is often in another part of the body. This underlying issue causes compensations elsewhere, resulting in the presenting pain. That's why people often experience the same pain again and again, despite sometimes having had treatment from other professionals. Because my focus is on getting rid of the underlying cause, I often end up treating, for example, the legs and pelvis, when the patient's pain is higher up (and vice versa).
Improving how your body functions
I'll work with you to improve how your body moves and build its resilience to future issues through exercises, strengthening and advice. This will help give you the skills to manage your own health. Go to the Frequently Asked Questions page to see what techniques I use.
Who I help
Treatment is suitable for children through to adults (my oldest client has been over 90 years old). Past patients have included office professionals, pregnant women, professional sports people and manual workers – so treatment can help most people. With every patient I undertake a thorough examination and assessment that involves orthopaedic, clinical and movement tests to identify the issue and the underlying cause. If I don't feel I can help, I will tell you and help identify your best option for referral, whether that's to your GP or to another health professional.
