Six areas of practice, supported by internationally recognised training in manual therapy, fascial manipulation, dry needling, sports science and ergonomics.
The kinds of problems I see most, and how each is approached.
Assessment and treatment of pain and loss of function in muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. The goal is to find what is driving your symptoms, not only where they show up.
Treatment and structured return-to-sport programmes for athletes and active people, drawing on postgraduate training in sports therapy and sports sciences.
Safe, staged recovery after orthopaedic surgery, working to your surgeon’s guidance to restore movement, strength and confidence.
Hands-on treatment, movement retraining and education for spinal pain, including pain linked to desk work, driving and lifting.
Rebuilding the ability to do the things that matter to you: walking, climbing stairs, getting up from the floor, lifting, playing with your children.
A close look at how you stand, sit and move, and at workstation habits, to find loading patterns that keep strain going and change them.
What each approach is, where it comes from, and when it is useful. Techniques are selected after assessment, never by default.
Certificate in Orthopedic Manual Therapy (COMT), United Kingdom
Skilled, hands-on assessment and treatment of joints and soft tissues. Gentle mobilisation and, where appropriate, manipulation are used to ease pain, reduce stiffness and restore movement.
Certificate in Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation, United Kingdom
Specially designed tools are used to assess and treat restricted soft tissue, helping to improve mobility and ease pain in muscles, tendons and the surrounding fascia. It is used alongside exercise, not instead of it.
Certified Dry Needling Practitioner (CDNP), South Africa
Fine, sterile needles are placed into tender, tight points in muscle (often called trigger points) to reduce pain and muscle tension and improve movement. It is performed with consent, in a clinical setting, and as one part of a wider plan.
Fascial Manipulation Practitioner (Stecco method), Italy
Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps and links muscles. In this method, manual pressure is applied to specific points on the fascia, chosen from your movement and symptom pattern, to restore gliding between tissue layers and ease movement.
Certificate in Ergonomics, Sweden
Matching your workspace, tasks and habits to your body. Practical changes to desk set-up, screen height, seating, lifting and breaks reduce the repeated loading that keeps neck, back and shoulder pain going.
PGDSST; Fellowship in Sports Sciences (FSS) and Fellowship in Ortho Rehab (FOR), Apollo
Graded loading, strength and movement-control work, and clear return-to-sport criteria. The aim is to get you back to your activity and keep you there, not just settle the current injury.
That is what the consultation is for. Describe what you are feeling and we will work it out together.
