Muscle and Body Management

In my late twenties I had a climbing accident whilst attempting an on sight free climb (without ropes)! After 10 weeks in hospital I made a good recovery from a broken pelvis but over time, work and lifestyle have contributed to on going issues that have lead me to take a great interest in how the body and muscles work. Many years of treatment under a variety of modalities have kept me going but

have not cured the underlying issues. However a chance encounter with the Emmett Technique so completely impressed me, that I have now become a Certified Advanced Emmett Practitioner. This technique simply uses touch at precise locations to enable the body to release muscle restrictions and tensions, the simplicity and delicacy of the technique, belies the powerful response the body can have to such an input. Since then I wanted a more structured understanding of the body and I gained that and much more my graduating as a Sports and Remedial Soft Tissue Therapist from the highly respected North London School of Sports Massage. I have also trained in ScarWork, that enables me to treat scar tissue that is not functioning as well as pre-accident/operation. This is a very gentle technique that enable the scar to relax to a more "normal" state. All of the above can produce extraordinary results, however if there is an underlying muscle weakness or imbalance, the results will not last. I have overcome this by introducing accompanying exercise plans, to help my clients understand their bodies better and give them the tools to maintain themselves going forward.
