She has a special interest in:
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Complex & Chronic pain
- High performance sport
- Performing arts
- Running biomechanics

She has worked in private practice physiotherapy and multidisciplinary clinics in South Africa, New Zealand and Germany before joining us here in Australia.

Gayle’s clinical toolset includes Dry Needling, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation and Neuro-Meningeal Mobilisation, allowing her to help people who are challenged with chronic and complex pain syndromes. She merges these approaches with traditional physiotherapy approaches to enable novel and holistic approaches to recovery and performance.

Bio Compression Treatment - A client’s experiene

I use the Bio Compression Pump system to assist with treatment for Lipoedema in my legs and find them very easy to use. First, we open the lymph nodes to promote drainage and take 10x deep diaphragmatic
breaths.

The compression pants are fitted easily after which you then rest on the treatment bed in a semi reclined position. The tubes are connected to the pump and individualised settings are entered for your own specific treatment to meet your needs.

At the beginning of the cycle, the pants slowly build with air and pressure in sections, starting from the ankles and finishing at your waist. After this first round has finished, the machine cycles through building pressure in the sections, until all sections are compressed up to your waist. Then the pressure is released and the cycle commences again. The pressure is firm but not painful and actually feels quite supportive.

The treatment session is relaxing, with the machine producing hardly any noise and your legs feeling supported and treated at the same time.

There is no discomfort other than being ready to use the toilet at the end of the treatment cycle due to the movement of the stagnant lymph fluid.

What I find the most astounding is the look and feel of my legs after each treatment. There is an obvious reduction in the size of my lower legs due to reduced swelling and even a shape change. All of my legs feel soft and squishy rather than how hard and inflamed they were at the beginning of the treatment and feel much less sensitive and painful.

With regular and consistent treatments, I find that walking and movement is far less painful and arduous with my legs feeling like I can move without feeling like I’m wading through tar and feeling so exhausted.

This amazing relief means that I now feel more motivated and able to move more which also helps lipoedema management.

COMMON RUNNING BIOMECHANICAL MISTAKES

Ever felt a ni**le after a run and thought “I didn’t even run that hard!!” Running injuries often seem like bad luck but the cause can pretty much always be put down to:
1) A sudden change in load (distance, intensity, frequency, ground type, shoe type etc) or
2) Biomechanical mistakes that put joints under increased stress.

Have a flick through these common causes of injuries for runners and let us know if any resonate with you!

We offer in depth running assessments at Alchemy and using state of the art technology and evidence based running tests and assessments we can identify potential issues that may be causing you pain, reducing your performance or could even predispose you to an injury down the track.

All running assessments can be booked online 👆🏽 or by calling our gorgeous admin team
