WHAT TO EXPECT

Expect a personalised treatment approach that is sensitive to your needs. I have considered the impact of your nervous system and the treatment studio is a stand alone log cabin which provides a safe and calm environment surrounded by fields and away from any hospital or ‘normal’ clinical environment that may otherwise be triggering.

These sessions combine the principles of Physiotherapy assessment with the practice of functional retraining, identifying muscle imbalances correcting them, regaining stability and allowing optimal function and includes an optional internal pelvic floor examination, this is optional and may be something that we talk about but take a few sessions to do depending on when and if you feel ready.

There are many factors that effect your healing and so I work with you holistically to support you to build strength, relieving tension, reduce pain, relieving pelvic floor dysfunction (such as incontinence or prolapse), assists with scar healing and helps you to balance your hormones through lifestyle medicine. I combine hands on treatment whilst teaching you practical techniques such as massage, posture and positioning to help heal from, manage and prevent future problems.

Although a fundamental component is rebuilding your strength and fitness it is not as simple as just getting back to the gym. Other factors such as processing and healing from trauma, work, relationships, caring for others, stress, sleep, diet, hydration, rest, and hormones all play a part in how we heal and recover. When it comes to healing your body there is so much conflicting advice out there no wonder so many women feel confused about what is the correct and ‘safe’ way to recover and doubt wether they are “doing it right” or what we should expect as our new ‘normal’. Expect to be treated as an individual and get the treatment you deserve.

VIDEO CONSULTATION

You deserve to be heard, listened to and your first consultation allows time for this. It will take place online via video call in the comfort of your own home. I will spend time listen to your story. I will also ask about your past medical history, health, fitness and family history. I will listen and if as appropriate will offer professional yet practical lifestyle, movement and exercise advice. Supporting you physically and mentally to heal and rebuild after perinatal trauma and loss.

YOUR FIRST IN PERSON ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT SESSION

Once you have had an video consultation (and if appropriate after your 6-8 week check up with the GP) you will be offered an in person consultation there I will do a detailed physical check of your body including your posture, ribs, check your abdominal muscles and any healing scar tissue. You will also be offered an optional internal pelvic floor examination to check strength, tightness, prolapse and any scar tissue. Depending on how you are feeling this does not have to be carried out on the first assessment or at all as the most important thing is that you feel comfortable.

FOLLOW UP TREATMENT SESSION

Hands on treatment is weaved in throughout the first and follow up in person session to relieve any pain symptoms and helps you to relax. Whilst it is tailors to your individual needs it often includes some soft tissue massage of your abdominals, lower back, pelvis and upper legs. It may also include spinal mobilisations, relaxation techniques and exercises.

The first 1 hour follow up rehab or treatment session is included in the package.
