physiotherapy can help with back pain, headaches, sciatica, joint injuries (such as shoulder tendonitis), ankle sprains, muscle strains, rehabilitation from sports injuries, post operative care (for example hip and knee replacements), shoulder surgery, achilles tendon ruptures and many more muscular conditions.

Michèle has over 30 years of experience treating all of the above, with an individual hands on approach helping patients to achieve a better level of fitness/health than before their recent injury/pain.

However no individual is the same and Michèle will often combine other therapies that she is qualified in such as cranio sacral therapy or abdominal massage if felt appropriate.

What happens within a treatment session?

There is an initial consultation to determine the problem and how it is affecting your lifestyle. The physical assessment will then reflect the issues you are experiencing. It will involve looking at your posture, movement, muscle lengths and muscle strength/control, all with Michèle’s intuitive way of assessing. 

Treatment normally involves a combination of Michèle’s skills, from massage, joint techniques, utrasound (where indicated), fascial techniques, patient specific home exercises, such as pilates, Qigong, theraband resistance training, foam rolling, specific stretches or maybe a tailored strengthening programmes always with advice on self management and more.
