ANATOMOLOGY DETAILS

Dry Needling (DN)
Osteopathic methods to remove pain, spasms and restricted movement. Deep needling (pins I call them) for effective relief of long and short term pain. Plus orthopaedic Motor Point Acupuncture and GemT styles of DN. All needling (pining) is in conjunction with Moxa Therapy.

Stretch Therapy  
Practitioner directed therapy as a method of self care, a collaborative part of the therapy session where one learns what and how to move and stretch. Methods based on Kit Laughlin’s Posture & Flexibility. As well as other neurological and functional stretching/fascial methods.

Myofascial Release
Hands on, deep and slow. True manual therapy. From massage beginnings to sensational joint stretching and full layered tissue release. It is as delicious and beneficial as it sounds.

Osteopathic Mobilisations  
Gentle and subtle joint mobilisations that are done with the patients assistance, to release and align the joints functioning. The opposite to Chiropractic Manipulation where the joints are rapidly are thrusted. The patient is part of the process.

Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine and the English form of 5 Element Acupuncture are used according to your needs. For energetic and psycho-emotional healing, aimed at balancing the whole system and harmonising from within.

Movement Therapy
From Stretch therapy or Pilates to Swinging Kettlebells and Clubs, you name it we can play with it, and check you are doing what you love or want safely and correctly. Understanding how you move, where you are restricted, how your daily habits inhibit your progress, we look at your life from all angles.

Life Perspective Coaching
All sessions are inclusive of life... what you do, can do, cant do, want to do, how to get into movement habits and salubrious rituals. See ‘Intentional Training and Sensational Sunrise’ for a full session of this alone. Being healthy doesn’t always mean you have to give up all the ‘good’ things of life. Learning how to manage and balance is key. Finding flow and learning how to manipulate the nervous system to optimise our time in the flow state! As life changing as it sounds.

Myofascial Therapy
Part of every session and this can be the entire session if one wishes! Deep therapeutic remedial or soft delightfully relaxing Swedish, or you can enjoy shiatsu and acupressure. The fascial layers are warmed via Moxatherapy and the dense layers are released with long slow tractions and soft tissue manipulations.

Moxa Therapy - Moxibustion

All sessions have Moxibustion as part of the treatment. Whether on its own, whilst needling (pinning), given as home care or a combination of all three. Moxibustion comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine and is best explained as the original laser/red-light therapy. Known as Near Infra-red light therapy is clears swelling and calms inflammation, aids healing and feels like a warm hug for any part you use it on. A staple tool in the clinic and given as homework.

A Typical Session…

Your time in the clinic is 100% focused on YOU. We work together to resolve issues, support your daily actions to maintain what we gain in the clinic, and, progress you beyond what you thought or believed you could do!

We start the process and show you how to continue it.

You come back because you want to learn more… not because you HAVE to!

See you in the clinic soon.
