Sometimes the pain is just so severe when someone comes to see me there’s no way we can do any neurological testing.

The longer injuries go untreated, the more complicated and difficult they become to treat, so it was with mixed emotions I saw a client this week. Obviously gutted they’d had an issue which needed treatment, but overjoyed they were seeing me less than a week after it had occurred. An evening netball game involved a…

Some people baulk at the multi page consultation form I send out before a first appointment. Overkill, I think one person said. In truth, this is a pared down version of what I’d like to ask people, but I don’t want to scare people off, and it does at least give us a starting point….

It’s kind of scary when you work on a fellow Practitioner. I know from when I’m on the couch, there’s never any judgement, and it’s actually kind of exciting to see how people approach things differently, but that doesn’t stop you getting a little nervous when you’re in the driving seat – especially when they’ve…

A lady came to see me the other day with intense pain around the whole of her head. All. The. Time. She’s had it constantly for 7 months, causing dangerous, sudden bouts of dizziness, particularly when changing position (laying to sitting, to standing etc) or when changing direction.

I was talking to a client in clinic about what they’d been up to which might be contributing to their symptoms. They had recently started a core conditioning class on line. This had highlighted issues in their neck and shoulders. We discussed some of the movements as we worked and touched upon the fact they…

Most in the western world believe the skull to be a singular set of fused bones which protect the skull. They’re not wrong for the most part, but most are under the misconception these bones can’t move independently. The skull bones (should) actually move every time we breathing. The synchronous movement of the cranial bones…
