Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a health care profession that views human movement as essential to the health and well being of individuals. Physiotherapy is a holistic approach to healthcare that stimulates the body's own natural healing mechanisms without the use of drugs or surgery to restore the body to optimal functional ability.
Physiotherapists use thorough clinical assessment to evaluate pain and dysfunction and determine how best to resolve it. They look at the body as a whole and many different treatments can be used to optimise functional ability. A specific programme of exercises and correct postural alignment helps to prevent further injuries and recurrent pains and aches. Strengthening core stability muscles helps maintain good posture and relieve spinal related problems.
Craniosacral Therapy
This is a gentle but extremely powerful form of therapy. It works by releasing tensions in the soft tissues, including the fascial tissue and membranes of the body. These strains can be held throughout the body and develop as a result of trauma, poor posture or traumatic emotional events. There may be a gradual build up of tension over the years from unresolved strains and stresses that we may continually be subjected to. The accumulation of these stresses can result in aches and pains and any of the symptoms detailed below. Craniosacral Therapy is extremely good for those conditions that have not responded to other forms of therapy including conventional medicine. It is ideal for all ages from babies to the elderly and during pregnancy.
Conditions that respond well to these therapies are:
- Soft tissue injuries including strains and sprains.
- Sporting injuries including acute and recurring problems.
- Spinal pains including neck and back aches.
- Trapped nerves including sciatica.
- Muscle spasm Headaches and migraines.
- Arthritis and stiff and painful joints.
- Pregnancy related pains.
- Posture related pains i.e. desk based jobs and repetitive work.
- Dysfunction following surgery.
- Specific joint pains including knee and shoulder.
- Fascial and jaw pains
- Fibromyalgia Emotional and stress related problems
