What is involved in the treatment part of the appointment.
My focus is on providing person centred treatments and rehabilitation programmes, that optimise your recovery and overall wellbeing, aligned to your goals; utilising a combination of massage, manual therapy and exercise/ movement.
What are my qualifications.

‘Mens sana in corpore sano’ A healthy mind in a healthy body.
I am a soft tissue therapist and a qualified personal trainer. I completed my Soft Tissue Therapy course with The School under Anna Maria Mazzieri.
Health, fitness and wellbeing are big passion of mine and I am driven by helping people achieve their goals however small or big they might be.
I integrate Massage therapy at its highest level with more advanced techniques and exercise and movement advice. So for example if you have back pain I will do a thorough assessment to understand the factors around it and how you move then I will treat with Massage Therapy before advising you on what type of movement and exercises you could be doing to feel better.
I have worked in different settings to gain a wide range of skillset ranging from treating sports injuries to chronic conditions like Osteoarthritis, experience has shown I have good clinical results which I know will be enhanced by being part of The Clinic team and benefit from the collective expertise.
Outside of work I really enjoy spending time outdoors, gym and swimming. I also love baking! You’ll often find me in the kitchen making anything from bread to cookies to triple chocolate brownies! Which I am now glad to share with the team at The Clinic.
