It seems no 2 practitioners are alike when it comes to how we treat.

I believe we treat the way we like to be treated.  I like to take time with my patients, and I like to use a broad variety of therapeutic techniques.

No two people are the same as are no two injuries. I look to treat each person individually, to find the cause of their problem, and to treat it in a way that works for that individual.

Initial Consultation

Your initial consultation with me will last an hour. During this time I take a thorough medical case history and carry out physical examinations checking posture and range of movements including any necessary medical tests. These might include referring for X-rays, scans, and blood tests. I may use orthopaedic, neurological and other system examinations to help assess and diagnose. If necessary I may refer to other health care providers.

Subsequent Treatments

Subsequent treatments will last 45 minutes. I prefer to use a full range of  techniques including soft tissue massage, biodynamic cranial techniques, visceral  techniques, joint mobilization and gentle manipulation if appropriate and necessary. I always like to give postural and exercise advice.
