Hands on therapy
My approach integrates skilled manual therapy techniques, including deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy, to release muscular tension, reduce pain, improve tissue mobility, stimulate circulation and encourage relaxation within the nervous system. In addition, passive joint mobilizations are used to restore range of motion (ROM), improve joint mechanics and enhance movement quality, helping clients return to daily activities and physical performance with greater ease and comfort.

FAQs
What happens during a first physiotherapy appointment?
The first appointment includes a brief medical history review, a full clinical assessment, and a physical examination, leading to a clear diagnosis and personalised treatment plan. Depending on what's needed, treatment may begin in the same session as a combined 60-minute intake and treatment visit.
What's the difference between manual therapy and exercise-based physiotherapy?
Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques like deep tissue release and joint mobilisation to reduce pain and improve tissue mobility, while exercise-based physiotherapy uses targeted, progressive exercises to rebuild strength, control, and long-term function. Most treatment plans combine both, since lasting recovery typically requires hands-on care alongside active rehabilitation.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the nature and severity of your complaint, ranging from a few visits for minor strains to a longer structured programme for post-surgical rehabilitation or chronic conditions. Your treatment plan is reassessed and progressed as you recover, with the goal of restoring function and preventing recurrence rather than just relieving symptoms.
What conditions can physiotherapy treat?
Physiotherapy treats a wide range of conditions affecting the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, spine, hip, knee, and ankle, including tendinopathies, disc-related back pain, sciatica, impingement syndromes, ligament injuries, and post-surgical or post-trauma recovery. Treatment is tailored to each person's specific presentation and functional goals.
When should I see a physiotherapist?
You should consider seeing a physiotherapist if you have persistent pain lasting more than a few days, reduced mobility or stiffness, an injury from sport or daily activity, or you're recovering from surgery. Early assessment helps identify the root cause of a complaint before it becomes chronic, rather than just treating the symptoms.
