Last week we were delighted to welcome Mr Bob Chatterjee, Consultant Spinal Surgeon, to the practice.

We had a very informative discussion regarding the surgical and non-surgical management of spinal stenosis and spinal nerve root irritation. Bob’s extensive knowledge and passion for the treatment of these conditions was greatly appreciated by the whole team along with his down to earth and pragmatic approach.

Women's Health Physiotherapy

Already specialising in Women's Health, Michelle Harford recently increased her knowledge by attending an Advanced training course run by POGP (Pelvic Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy) on Complex Pelvic Pain. This 2.5 day intensive course covered Chronic Pelvic Pain symptoms and the current Evidence Based Practice in treating and managing these conditions.

Michelle can assess and treat women who are experiencing Urinary Incontinence, Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Chronic Pelvic Pain. She encourages women to access Physiotherapy help which can offer advice/education, exercises and manual therapy. This can significantly improve these symptoms, improving women's quality of life and daily activities.

If you would like Michelle to assess your condition please call the Practice on 020 8579 2678. A one hour Women's Health Assessment costs £116 with any subsequent 30 minute appointments costing £58.

Introducing Pilates with Sara

Sara came to the practice of Pilates just over 25 years ago and has been a regular practitioner along with her yoga practice and yoga teaching. She has many years’ experience of teaching to a wide range of students from beginners to those who are more familiar with Pilates. She continues studying and learning different aspects of Pilates and how it can be used effectively and efficiently. She is very interested in anatomy and movement and the relationship and connection of breath, mind and body.

Her classes are taught from a firm foundation and are progressive and developmental and can help to increase and sustain mobilisation, strength, flexibility and stamina. Sometimes small equipment is used to facilitate assistance and resistance work which helps expand knowledge and understanding and offers the opportunity for students to explore and develop their own practice. Useful insights are often revealed which can be applied pragmatically in daily life.

Through the enjoyment of her classes students can experience directly the joy of movement and stillness alike. Questions and discourse are also welcome.

Sara will be offering 1:1 Pilates classes over the summer until classes resume in September - more information to follow.
