Postural alignment

Your posture and awareness of posture habits will be the building blocks of effective treatment for you. 

Postural awareness is encouraged during treatments and with take-home exercises - without honing in on negatives about body types and expectations.

There is no 'Perfect Posture’...

....Everybody's posture is individual....

Understanding the language of your body... listening to what your body is telling you about how you sit, stand and move is the information that is relevent for you.

LEARNING THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR BODY AND HOW TO LISTEN

I am now in the twenty-fifth year of practice in my Ashgrove West clinic. My approach to treatment is very individual, keeping the awareness that this is your body and your story about you as a whole – we are not just a collection of body parts.
On the contrary, we are strongly influenced by the lives we have around us and also within us.
The treatment you receive will be guided by your physical posture - both stationary and through movement. The interesting thing about human mobility is that no posture is text book perfect… It is about whether it works for you. The presence of pain, restriction, clicks, clunks and vertigo are some of the ways your body communicates that there is room for improvement . 
Your posture is an expression, as well as an impression, of your very being — It is maintained by muscles, tendons, ligaments, bone structure and fascia but controlled by emotions and influenced by external factors, environment, shoes, clothes, lifestyle, diet, breathing and exercise, to name just a few.

Massage, in its many modalities, forms a large part of my treatments. Also incorporating stretching, joint articulations, fascia release, acupressure and trigger points.
I am a certified Aromatherapist. I use high quality, mostly organic, and ethically sourced pure essential oils with every treatment. They are diffused into the air and mixed into blends with base oils of Cold pressed Sweet Almond, Apricot Kernel, Rose Hip or Jojoba. They are salubrious scents.
Overall, my aim is to offer genuine care, to assist you to become the well-adjusted and well adapted person you can be, in the life that you lead - to manage and maintain - without discounting your own innate ability to repair yourself.
