Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment aimed at reducing these aches and pains felt throughout the body, thereby improving the overall workings of the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons to enable your body to work in equilibrium again.

Osteopathic philosophy is a holistic approach to health, and stresses the importance of the musculoskeletal system in a person's health and well-being. The aim of treatment is to support the body's self-healing mechanism. Osteopathy involves soft tissue work, stretching and manipulation of the bones and muscles to help achieve this.

Medical Acupuncture/ Dry Needling

Dry Needling is an effective way to eliminate trigger points in tight muscle bands found in many acute and chronic injuries or painful syndromes. It is also used to stimulate healing in chronic tendon problems such as Achilles tendonitis and tennis elbow. In the case of trigger point treatment, needles are inserted directly into the muscle trigger points. These are overactive areas of muscle... Read More

Dry Needling is an effective way to eliminate trigger points in tight muscle bands found in many acute and chronic injuries or painful syndromes. It is also used to stimulate healing in chronic tendon problems such as Achilles tendonitis and tennis elbow.

In the case of trigger point treatment, needles are inserted directly into the muscle trigger points. These are overactive areas of muscle and fascia, a tough connective tissue that wraps around most of the structure of the human body.

Typically the needle is inserted into the tight band within the muscle until a 'twitch response' is achieved. Often a number of twitches are achieved within a session. There is then a reflex relaxation and lengthening of the muscle, to create a release in the muscle.

There are many benefits to having regular massage during pregnancy. Patients have reported that it can help, many minor ailments experienced during pregnancy such as achy hips, back pain and swollen legs.

Patients have also reported it can help with the emotional preparation for giving birth.

The Benefits:

Increased Circulation
Massage encourages blood and oxygen and nutrients to circulate around the body better. This assists the work of the heart and lungs, and stimulates the body's defence mechanisms. It also stimulates the release of toxins and other waste products from the body. The boost in circulation is good for baby too.

Increased Sensation
Increased circulation results in improved sensation, particularly in the extremities. As your pregnancy progresses, you might experience numbing of the hands and feet as baby puts pressure on nerves that feed these areas. Massage is great for easing tension and improving sensation to the extremities.

Increased Mobility
Massage can prevent and relieve pain experienced through the lack of use or over use of muscle groups i.e. repetitive strain injury and back pain.

Massage relieves muscular tension, stiffness and spasm. It can also help to improve posture and joint flexibility.

All these benefits are hugely helpful during pregnancy, particularly as the delivery approaches.

Relaxation
Massage calms and slows the heartbeat, lowers the blood pressure and brings a sense of balance and equilibrium to the body.

Massage also improves psychological health. Studies show massage reduces feelings of stress and anxiety, and enhances feelings of well-being. Research shows that calm mothers equal calm babies, as our stress hormones will cross the placental barrier.

Increased Productivity
Massage has been scientifically demonstrated to increase alertness and attention to detail and accuracy. This is helpful as you reach the third trimester and you start to find 'baby brain ' setting in. A lot of new mothers find this frustrating, in the early weeks after the baby is born, therefore this is a wonderful time to have a little extra TLC.

Reflexology

Reflexology is the gentle art form of therapeutic foot massage. It aims to treat the individual as a whole incorporating body, mind and spirit.

Reflexology is the gentle art form of therapeutic foot massage. It aims to treat the individual as a whole incorporating body, mind and spirit.

Reflexology is a specific pressure technique which works on precise reflex points on the feet, based on the premise that reflex areas on the feet correspond with all body parts.

Pressure is applied to the reflex areas using specific thumb and finger techniques. This causes physiological changes to take place in the body as the body's own healing potential is stimulated.

Faye Burge

Over the last 13 years of clinical practice Faye has developed a two-fold passion for both musculoskeletal physiotherapy and pelvic health physiotherapy. Her curiosity was sparked when she realised a significant over-lap in the cause of pain between the two fields. She has worked across some of London’s most elite clinics and has become a trusted source of education for her clients. She understands that the goal isn’t an absence of dysfunction, but encourages her patients to seek a better sense of self. She has honed her skills for both and is a firm believer in utilising her knowledge of rehabilitation to ensure a speedy recovery.

She studied Sports Science at Edinburgh University which led to a two year Masters at Edinburgh’s Queen Margaret’s University studying Physiotherapy. She has since become a member of the Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy (POGP), and has spent years crafting rehabilitation for sports injuries and pre and postnatal patients. Training from the POGP enables Faye to treat female urinary incontinence, prolapse and pre and post-natal associated pain and dysfunction.

Her 16 year dance history, coupled with APPI Pilates training and yoga teacher training makes Faye the ideal educator on the importance of rehabilitative breath work and core training. Faye’s eye for detail when analysing and treating movement dysfunctions have helped many runners perform to their best ability, be it a returning mum wishing to start a couch to 5km or elites to competition level.

Faye understands the stresses and demands placed upon new mums (being one herself), and as such takes great pride in helping them to safely explore exercise, increase their confidence by strengthening and stand tall to feel like themselves again post birth.
