The Art and Science of Human Movement to Facilitate the Road of Recovery
My Therapy & Approach
Proven and Professional
It is common to see individuals with a combination of impairments in multiple regions of their body, that affects the musculoskeletal, urogynecology and respiratory system. The analysis is centered around your unique history. Your story often reveals past injuries, thought/beliefs, emotional states and movement habits that have collectively led to change in strategies for posture, movement or incontinence and breathing.
The specific meaningful task that is linked to biomechanics loss of control is addressed. We try to get the root of the primary driver of source of pain or primary root for the compensation. Usually, the compensation that causes the pain are not the primary driver of your pain. In the assessment as you start moving, you might discover that your road to recovery may be quite different to the one first imagined. We hope to engage your mind to experience movement in a different pattern to empower you.

Dry Needling and Intramuscular Stimulation
Dry Needling is a very successful medical treatment which uses very thin needles without any medication (a dry needle) to achieve its aim. Dry Needling is used to treat pain and dysfunction caused by muscle problems, sinus trouble, headaches, and some nerve problems. It is mot at all the same as acupuncture. A acupuncture is a part of traditional, Chinese Medicine, whereas dry needling is a western medicine technique, which needs to have a medical diagnosis. There is a clear scientific understanding of dry needing, and it carries not spiritual “baggage” as acupuncture may do.
Dry Needling works by changing the way your body senses pain (neurological effects), and by helping the body heal stubborn muscle spasm associated with trigger points (myofascial effects). There are additional electrical and chemical changes associated with dry needling therapy which assist in the healing process. It is important to see the needles as just one part of your overall rehabilitative treatment. Dry needling is not a miracle cure-it is a normal part of physiotherapy. It is vital that you do the exercises and follow the advice your therapist gives you in conjunction with the needling for optimal recovery.
Your therapist has been specifically trained in the various needling technique. The therapist will choose a length and thickness of needle appropriate for your condition and your body size, and then insert it through the skin at the appropriate place. You will feel a small pinprick. Depending muscle twitch. These are all normal and good sensations, and mean that you will experience good relief from your symptoms.
