About
I work with chronic and acute pain, musculoskeletal disorders and soft tissue injuries and have a gentle and holistic approach to treatment.
I have a bachelors degree in osteopathy and a diploma in sports massage.
During the osteopathy degree I became fascinated with the connective tissue known as the fascia, a complex network of fibres that weaves together every aspect of the body from muscles, ligaments and tendons to bone and organ systems. This incredible network of fibres contributes significantly to pain, structural dysfunction and even disease. It is the underlying cause of most issues found in the structure.
Over the past 8 years I have developed my own unique way of working with the fascial network, understanding how to gently unravel and untangle this continuous network of fibres. I have studied my own intricately during this time and work on myself for a couple of hours most days.
It is such an incredibly complex tissue that works like nothing else and I am constantly interested and intrigued to understand it, for myself and my patients.
The more you listen to the body the more it communicates what it needs, I think it is really important to understand that as a practitioner and be aware that even with the best intentions when the patient's body feedback is not being tuned in to most of the treatment is actually coming from the practitioner's agenda. There needs to be a balance of knowledge, skill and listening to optimise the treatment and ultimately the health of the patient.
