After successful completion of an HND in Complementary Therapies at Moray College in 2007, I went on to study Physiotherapy at the Robert Gordon University. I graduated BSc Health Related Professional Studies in 2013, then followed this with a further Diploma, in Sports Massage. I am passionate about developing my knowledge and skills, and thus attend further courses throughout each year. In 2017,
I completed the Advanced Clinical Diploma in Integrated Myofascial Therapy. I am currently developing my training in Neurokinetic Therapy. I deliver individually tailored treatments to target problem areas by using a combination of these modalities. Rather than offer an individualised treatment list, I choose a selection of techniques that I feel are best suited to address your issue. Integrated Myofascial Therapy
Fascia is a type of connective tissue. It covers muscle, bones, nerves, organs and circulatory vessels. It is a continuous tissue from head to foot, touching every cell in the body. Fascia holds everything in place and allows the body to resist mechanical stresses. Tensions and traumas are absorbed by fascia, causing it to become restricted and pulled out of shape. The fascia slowly tightens and binds - reorganising itself along the line of strain imposed on it. This causes pressure on the tissues it surrounds, causing pain and postural adaptations. The body is treated as a whole, on account of the fascia being continuous. No oil or cream is used. The treatment consists mainly of gentle holds, slowly increasing in pressure which allows stretching of the fascial system.
