Dry Needling
Dry needling uses acupuncture needles to relax muscle knots or release myofascial trigger points. We use single use, pre-sterilised, disposable needles of varying sizes that pierce the skin into the various muscles or myofascial region. It is a very effective technique that can alleviate myofascial pain, muscle tightness and trigger points.
It is a scientifically proven Western technique with various research advocating its use. A needle is inserted into a tight band of muscle which can cause brief localised discomfort, with perhaps a ‘twitch response’ this a very small mini muscle contraction. Although results are usually felt immediately, you may experience an aching sensation with minimal side effects.
It works by changing how the body senses the pain and deactivates trigger points (knots). It does this by mechanically disrupting the dysfunctional activity and stimulating healing deep within the muscle.
Dry needling can also help relieve pain caused by tight muscles that can reduce the range of movement. This is typically caused by the over-contraction of a small number of muscle fibres in one region. Placing needles into these trigger points disrupts the contractions, encouraging the muscle to relax. In addition, the improved blood flow and delivery of oxygen, as previously mentioned, will further help the muscles relax.

Post Operative Therapy and Rehabilitation
Getting you back to health
A period a recuperation or rehabilitation is almost always required following an illness or operation. I work with patients to build strength, improve cardiovascular and respiratory function. I can also help patients recovering from COVID-19 or other viruses. Generally I work with patients within their homes to assess their current capability. I then work with with them as often as required to ensure they are happy, and to help achieve their goals. I then work with them to regain full health and help to achieve their goals.

Postural Orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (PoTs)
Aiming to manage symptoms
I work very closely with Dr Sanjay Guptar who is a Consultant cardiologist and Heart Specialist at York teaching hospital, where we manage patients diagnosed with PoTS. It’s very common for patients to have other diagnoses of EDS, ME, chronic fatigue and CFS leaks. I work with patients in the effective of their symptoms. This can be appropriate excercise, respiratory function, practical symptom management to help manage their symptoms and how to set achievable goals. Everyone is very different and I use my broad knowledge to apply practical help and guidance. I find that video consultations can be useful, especially if you find attending appointments tiring. Assessments can be 30 minutes or an hour if you prefer’.

Parkinson's (PD Warrior)
Push the limits
I have been working with Parkinson’s patients for over seven years and know how difficult coming to terms with the diagnosis can be. I am trained in PDWarrior, which is exercise and movement based treatment. After a full assessment and discussion, we will formulate goals to help with your day to day life. These exercises will be carried out by you independently, ideally daily, once I have ensured your ability to perform the correct technique.

Pilates, Mat-work and Reformer
Build strength and stability
I am a qualified clinical Pilates instructor, qualifying through APPI and DMA. I am also qualified to teach pre and post natal pilates. Clinical Pilates is very much prescriptive.
I conduct a thorough assessment to identify overactivity or areas of weakness; perhaps one side of your body is weaker than the other. Clinical Pilates works specifically on those weaker areas and ensures you’re engaging the correct muscles. This can be offered on the matt (floor or standing). I can also offer one to one reformer Pilates.
