Posture Management Ireland

Chartered Physiotherapist with 25 years experience. Completed 2 Masters Degrees in Manual Therapy and Musculoskeletal Health. From early in my career I began practicing and teaching yoga and pilates and began to develop a holistic approach. This led me to studying craniosacral therapy and later visceral manipulation and somatic movement education. Most recently I've been delving deeply into study of trauma and the Nervous System as it is so involved in any chronic health problems.  As a result I have a very holistic approach that is suited both to acute injuries and chronic longstanding problems. My main interests are women's health (pelvic health/pre and post natal) and pain.  Holistic bodywork sessions will usually address body parts away from the site of pain because of the interconnectness of the fascial system.  I also teach  yoga and workshops/courses on pelvic health and the nervous system. 

A consultation lasts one hour, during which you will be assessed, diagnosed and treated. I would refer you on to an appropriate specialist through your G.P. if necessary. The treatment involves gentle manipulation and stetching techniques. I will give you a set of stretches to help your problem. Many patients require between 1-4 treatments as a initial level of treatment, the aim is to aid your recovery, but not to make you over reliant on osteopathic care.
