Injury Prevention and Rehab

Injury rehabilitation is a prominent part of my practice with two years experience in a hospital physiotherapy department. Jazz, ballet and contemporary dance have given me insights into the physical world of body dynamics and endurance and body language. Having explored Feldenchrist, the Alexander technique, and Pilates as postural and strengthening movement work I do my best to stay current with the newest remedial and progressive exercise therapies. Touch for Health, Chinese Acupressure, Deep Tissue Therapy and Relaxation Therapy are also part of my knowledge base.

Athletes and dancers enjoy regular preventive massage treatments not only to boost their performances but for comfort and care of their muscles, ligaments and nerves. Therapeutic massage is considered an important part of a healthy maintenance program as it also increases muscle response and flexibility. Actors, singers, musicians and many other groups of people who depend on their physical health, emotional sensitivity and comfort to work, are on massage programs that suit their particular lifestyles.

Another example of people who benefit from a good massage program are those who do a lot of computer work (3 or more solid hours a day). Studies are showing that the accuracy of computer work is increased, along with efficiency, when the operators receive regular massage with simple follow up maintenance and corrective exercises. Offices that have onsite massage find there is improved operator comfort, morale and sense of wellbeing. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and chronic back and headaches are the repetitive strain injuries that often a result from poor ergonomics of the workstation and can be improved with proper care.
