Can I just say, the way we work in clinic is to get to the root cause of your issues – what it actually is which is driving the dysfunctional patterns you experience as symptoms in your physical and psycho emotional life. This can sometimes take a little while to unravel, particularly if you’ve had…

A client presented in clinic with a range on ongoing issues. Whilst they attended principally for some low back issues, when covering their history, it was noted they couldn’t have anyone touch their face or anywhere on their head without causing them to flinch and / or pull away.

I had someone ask why I keep testing their arm when it’s their back that’s hurting. Great question, from someone that clearly wants to be part of the process, understand what’s happening to them and why. I love it when clients take responsibility for their own health ❤️ In short, I tend to use an…

From functionally functional (optimised) through a stage of dysfunctionally functional (things aren’t working optimally, so compensations are being used, but you’re not noticing any real difference) through to dysfunctionally dysfunctional (this is where the aches, pains etcetera…
Continue Reading Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience. So much of my work is about the experience and the process, not simply the result. The process is different for everyone.

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. The pain radiates down into both shoulders,…
