I have close to thirty years experience in the area of Holistic Health. With that experience I’m able to get to the root cause of your problem quickly. I use a range of therapeutic modalities, my primary method is Bowen Technique, An-Mo (Shiatsu) and Somatic education other modalities I use include: Advanced Massage Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy and Muscle Energy Technique. The precise mix dependant upon the nature of the problem I’m addressing. Because I take a whole body view and apply any therapeutic input with that in mind, you will notice change taking place quickly and just as importantly that change will be driven from within your body and that means that the change will be long lasting. Bowen Technique, also known as Bowen Therapy is a light touch physical therapy that works with the body's nervous system to encourage relaxation of muscles and connective tissue and realignment of joints. It does not involve any harsh jarring movement of joints. An-Mo is a Chinese bodywork method that was the precursor to Japanese Shiatsu, it works with higher pressure than Bowen and includes passive mobilisation and stretches. Somatic Education is a subtle way of improving how your nervous system controls your movements. Often due to poor posture, historic injuries or occupational wear and tear we tend to develop poor movement habits that can, over time, cause recurring pain and injuries. Somatic Education retrains our body to move correctly.
