I begin all my work by addressing stress.
Pain, injury, and postural strain do not heal well in a body that is overwhelmed or braced. My first priority in every session is to help the nervous system settle, so the body can access its natural healing mechanisms.
This may involve stillness, breath, and gentle awareness before any hands-on work or movement guidance begins. When the body feels safer and quieter, treatment becomes more effective — and often more lasting.
This is the foundation of my physiotherapy practice.
Many physical symptoms are maintained or amplified by ongoing stress — even when the original injury has healed.
By reducing stress in the system, we often see:
Addressing stress does not replace physiotherapy. It optimizes our process.

Sessions are calm, structured, and responsive. Depending on your presentation, this may include:
Not every session looks the same, but the aim is consistent: to reduce strain on the system and support the body’s ability to recover.
My work is informed by several approaches that emphasise fascia, movement integration, and nervous system regulation. These are not separate services, but lenses that shape how assessment and treatment unfold
Fascia Response & Integration
An approach that focuses on how fascia responds to stress, movement, and awareness, supporting integration rather than force.
Be Activated
A movement-based approach that explores muscle activation, posture, and coordination as foundations for efficient movement.
Everyone arrives with a different body, history, and level of stress.
Some people need:
Others are ready to:
The approach adapts to where you are — especially when pain is present.
We try our best to create the following conditions:
By starting with stress and working from a settled state, we hope to create the conditions for the body to heal more efficiently and sustainably.
My role is to guide and support that process — one step at a time.
