My aim is to help you with your symptoms by listening, and assessing your physical presentation. Together we can work on a plan to reduce pain and increase your mobility. You will gain important education about your condition, how to manage your symptoms and set goals. Where suitable I will use manual therapy to assess, diagnose and treat you, supported by Electrotherapy to speed up recovery. You will leave with an individual online exercise program, which can track your progress. My main interest is management of musculoskeletal conditions by Education, “Hands- on” approach and tailored exercise program.

• Low Back and Neck pain (which can present with muscle ache, sharp pain or/and referred pain into legs or arms and/ or limited range of movement)
