Pressure Sensitive helps people live a pain-free, active lifestyle and to tune into the inbuilt healing potential of their own bodies. I undertook a Level 5 BTEC Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy at the London School of Sports Massage (LSSM) in 2017 and I have since focussed my additional training in Myofascial Release Therapy, specifically travelling to the USA to train with the world's leading MFR

pioneer John F Barnes and also working closely with his study group leader in the UK. As a recipient of various bodywork therapies myself over the years, nothing has had as profound an effect on my own body as John Barnes MFR. I intend to deepen my knowledge of this gentle but powerful modality by returning to the USA as often as possible for further training. fibromyalgia), movement restrictions, headaches, circulatory diseases (e.g high blood pressure), painful scar tissue, emotional trauma and recovery from surgery can all be greatly improved with Myofascial Release treatments. I will continue to offer soft tissue therapy options alongside my growing MFR work because I recognise that some people may find this more familiar and need to build a trusting relationship with therapist before feeling ready to consider a different treatment modality. As bodywork therapists worldwide try to rebuild from the damage inflicted by Covid-19 on our businesses, I will continue to follow guidance from my professional association The Institute of Soft Tissue Therapists (ISRM). Clients may be asked to complete a Covid screening questionnaire ahead of bookings and temperature checks, hand sanitising and mask wearing may be requested during treatment.

Just been having a nice chat with the fish while I eat my lunch in our cosy waiting area at The Clifton Practice, Bristol. A busy afternoon of client treatments kicks off at 1.00pm.

All set up for my first afternoon treating clients at The Clifton Practice, Whiteladies Road, Bristol. I'll be doing every other Thursday here and look forward to welcoming existing clients and introducing new ones to the magic of John F Barnes Myofascial Release.

Useful anatomy insights. Also useful to know that a team of researchers in Sweden have had amazing success at releasing frozen shoulder with an instrument-assisted technique which mimics myofascial rebounding.

Pathophysiology of Frozen Shoulder: Analysis by Professor M. A. Imam

“A) frozen shoulder with thickened & contracted glenohumeral capsule/⤵️volume of axillary poach
B) articular space & ligaments
C) shoulder joint with rotator cuff muscles, rotator cuff interval, long head of biceps.”

I had the pleasure of treating a new client yesterday who is herself a very skilled bodyworker, an experienced Rolfer & Structural Integrator in fact. We had a great chat about our shared passion for bodywork and fascia. In an email today she shared some thoughts on her first taste of John Barnes Myofascial Release, here's a snippet....

"...thank you for yesterday. I wasn’t sure quite what to expect, but I have to say that I have not felt any treatment as powerful as that for a long time and I really felt things unwinding and especially in that left ankle. My body is still getting used to the new open feeling that it has....."

Happy to say she has booked in for another session. I love sharing this work

Pressure Sensitive

I spent 2017 professionally retraining at The London School of Sports Massage, successfully completing a Level 5 BTEC Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy in January 2018. This manual bodywork discipline is built on a foundation of high quality remedial massage, but then adds a number of higher level assessment and treatment techniques more familiar to osteopaths and physiotherapists. I regularly embed postural assessment, muscle energy techniques, soft tissue release, neuromuscular pressure and myofascial release into my treatments.

To date I have helped many clients with a variety of conditions causing pain and movement restriction. These include joint replacements, tight scar tissue, osteo arthritis, shoulder pain & rotator cuff dysfunction, diabetes, neck and upper back pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, sciatica symptoms and sports injury rehabilitation. I believe that soft tissue therapies can be hugely beneficial for many people in society, and that long term sustainable improvements come from good collaboration between client and therapist to embrace treatment, remedial exercises and subtle lifestyle changes. I have a modern treatment space in Harlow, Essex, and I intend to develop a regular client base in London during 2020. I am also qualified in chair-based onsite massage and have a small number of corporate clients for whom I provide wellbeing visits to work colleagues. I intend to grow this area of my work too in the next few years, both working alone and also in collaboration with a hugely talented therapist and teacher called Sally Morris (www.onthespotmassage.co.uk). Looking ahead I will seek to develop my own therapeutic skills further, particularly regarding myofascial release and pursue new opportunities to benefit my local community.
