Flexible Healing - Physiotherapy Clinic and Training

Based in Otley, West Yorkshire, we offer tailored physiotherapy treatments for short-term or chronic pain. We also offer Pilates classes.

Patients visit our practice with a wide range of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Our soft tissue mobilisations, are based in the ground braking Hendrickson Method, which not only allows to affect the soft tissue, also the joints via the unique wave mobilisation, which is a very gentle movement that allow the spine to rock enabling the body to hydrate the joints. Our treatments have helped many other conditions including, asthma, osteoarthritis, TMJ pain and chronic fatigue syndrome. On your first visit to our practice, a detailed case history will be taken to allow us to create a bespoke treatment plan for you. This will take into account past medical history and a hands on assessment. We will explain all our insights and findings and discuss timescales and expectations of recovery as each person is unique. We continually reassess to ensure that the plan we devised is working for you. Hendrickson Method massage and manual therapy for Orthopedic conditions can help a number of complaints including:

Poor circulation
- Arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. These we cannot cure, but can certainly ease the pain and increase mobility thus improving quality of life
- Back pain and neck tension
- Stress relief and relaxation
- Sports injuries
- Repetitive strain injury (RSI)
- Sprains and strains
- Whiplash injuries
- Frozen shoulder
- Tennis elbow
- Chronic headaches
- TMJ

We also run various Continuing Professional Development Workshops throughout the year with the aim of these workshops is not only to improve your skills but also to provide a caring environment that is comfortable and conducive to your professional development. Over the years these courses have been attended by a diverse range of professions such as osteopaths, physiotherapists, massage therapists, yoga teachers and pilates instructors. This will give you an opportunity to enjoy a weekend of relaxed learning.These workshops provide practitioners the opportunity to experience and learn the Hendrickson Method and also the theories of Vladimir Janda. This cutting edge massage therapy and mobilisation of the body is totally unique and is only accessible in the UK through our practice

The other workshops that we offer are a reflection of Sue Bennett, the practice owner and the practice itself.

10 May - The Four Diaphragms One Day Workshop ✨

I'm very excited about my next one day workshop for 2025! There are just a couple spots left if anyone would like to jump in and join us. We'll be looking at how the four diaphragms working all together can aid vagal function, but also how they can act as a signpost to how we can help the polyvagal rhythm.

This is the second part of a three-part series of workshops examining how we can help clients find rhythm and regulation in their nervous system - but it's completely fine to attend as a one off too.

Tickets can be found on my website at https://flexible-healing.com/events/ - or just message me for more info

Just before I went away for a week Jo Lade & myself presented another 'talking heads' session for the LCSP Register of Remedial Masseurs & Manipulative Therapists.
Our theme is always 'I wished I'd have known.
Our theme was the Polyvagal theory, I feel if I'm informed by Stephen Porges research and theories, I have a greater understanding of how I can help those folks looking for ways out of their long term pain.

One of my deepest understanding is that each person's nervous system, trauma, I jury is unquie. We had to have confidence to develop unquie treatment plans for each person to help find their way to ease, rhythm and regulation within their vagal function.

We felt we had only touched the surface, so we are going deeper on the 14th August.
