Two kinds of work, and I do both.
Most people come to me with a straightforward injury: something hurts, it's getting in the way, and they want to keep training while it settles. Some come after that has already been tried, several times, and nothing has held. Both are welcome, and I take them equally seriously.
My specialty
Persistent pain and nervous system overload
The cases that don't respond the way the textbook says they should. Pain that has outlasted the tissue damage, pain that moves or comes back somewhere new, and bodies stuck in a state of alarm.
- Pain that has lasted months or years
- Injuries that keep returning to the same spot
- Widespread pain and sensitivity
- Wired and tired, not recovering between sessions
- Exercise intolerance and crashes after training
- Fear of movement after a bad episode
This is where I've done the most reading, the most clinical work, and where I think I can help people that other routes have not.
Also, and just as available
Injuries, from the ordinary to the annoying
Regular musculoskeletal complaints, whether they came from the gym, from running, from work, or from nowhere in particular.
- Neck and shoulder
- Elbow and wrist
- Lower and upper back
- Hip, knee and ankle
- Tendon problems and overuse
- Returning to training after an injury or surgery
You don't need a complicated case to book. A straightforward injury handled well early is often the reason it never becomes a complicated one.
And when something needs to be seen in person, imaged, or looked at by a doctor, I say so and point you in the right direction. A second opinion is only worth having if it knows its own limits.
