Combines multiple techniques for treating injuries, improving the health of muscles and connective tissue, increasing range of motion whilst refining tone, imbalances, symmetry and posture quality.
Up to half of all women experience weakness in both the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy and up to a third still have a tummy gap at eight weeks post-birth. This can cause instability or poor core strength leading to women developing pelvic or back pain or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. These conditions should not be something you should just put up with as a result of having a baby.
All our practitioners are fully trained in postnatal care and licensed to carry out a Mummy MOT®. Mums need to bend, squat and lift so we provide postnatal clinical care and functional exercises for female clients following birth (no matter how long ago).
This all depends on the nature of the complaint. Our patients typically report a resolution within 4-5 sessions, some quicker, however long standing and complex cases may take longer.
BOOK NOWHuman bodies are not symmetrical. We know some of us have one foot larger than the other; our liver is in the right low abdomen and balanced out by our heart in the upper left chest; and the right half of our diaphragm is larger and stronger than the left side. The hemispheres of the brain, nerves, lungs, blood vessels, muscles and vision systems are not equal from side to side.
Postural restoration is a type of physiotherapy that seeks to explore and explain the science of postural adaptations, asymmetrical patterns and the influence of polyarticular chains of muscles.
Our mission is based on the development of an innovative treatment that addresses the primary contributions of postural kinematic movement dysfunction. We figure out which 'dominant' or 'overused' muscles in the body need to be turned off or inhibited. We then give specific exercise and techniques including those that address breathing and the alignment of the body that can help reposition the pelvis, ribcage and other parts of the body.It improves bodily functions and allows higher performance levels in both younger years all the way through to over 80's.
Hands-on effective and readily available treatment method to prevent and treat muscle injuries, pain/soreness and muscular imbalances.
The primary focus of IASTM is to create controlled micro-trauma to an area of the body to elicit an inflammatory response. You need a little inflammation to heal. IASTM can also help reorganise the direction of the fibres, thus increasing the resilience of your muscle, tendon or ligament. Because scar tissue can inhibit a muscle from lengthening properly, IASTM can help to improve dysfunctional movement patterns that led to the injury in the first place. It is also less invasive than dry needling, acupuncture and trigger point injections.
