Physiotherapy is a treatment which helps restore normal movement and function when someone has been affected by injury, illness or disability. A number of methods are used to help people of all ages, whether they have been in a car accident and have whiplash; have had a stroke; have suffered a sports injury or have long term conditions that affect movement. I am a Physiotherapist who completed my
Masters in Physiotherapy in January 2015 at Southampton University. In 2007 I qualified from Manchester Met University with a Hons Degree in Sports Science, and also hold the Football Association (FA) diploma in sports injury and a Sports Massage diploma. I am a certified FA Medical Tutor teaching first aid and sports injury courses for the FA. It was in 2012 that I gained HSE First Aid instructors award and completed a teaching certificate. I have worked with many athletes over a variety of sports which include national and Olympic level. I am also a registered member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP). I have, therefore, trained to use an integrated approach, combining techniques from Physiotherapy with Acupuncture, in order to treat a range of conditions and reduce pain and inflammation. As a AACP member, I can combine Traditional Chinese Medicine principles from acupuncture with scientific evidence as a means of reducing pain and promoting healing, and always with the aim of enhancing physiotherapy treatments such as exercise and rehabilitation techniques to promote recovery and improve quality of life. I would assess your conditions and develop a treatment plan tailored to you. Conditions which this approach can be used for include whiplash, migraines, fibromyalgia and many more muscular and skeletal conditions.
