  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Vertigo

  • Balance and Walking issues

  • Vestibular Neuritis

  • Motion Sensitivity

A Vestibular Assessment is comprehensive and helps to target the root of the problem.

​

​

Treatment may include: -Repositioning if the problem is BPPV -A home based exercise program to work on gaze stabilization if the problem stems from the vestibular nerve ​-Habitation Exercises for motion sensitivity -Balance and walking retraining ​-Education -Hands on treatment for neck issues or a sensitized nervous system   -Guidance towards a return to regular activity ​ I have had the opportunity of on the job training in vestibular rehabilitation as the sole physiotherapist in a busy concussion clinic in Christchurch, New Zealand as well as attending workshops on Vestibular Rehabilitation.

Physiotherapy/Yoga Therapy

Yoga equipment which can be used for Adapted Yoga Class

I perform an assessment based on your individual needs, this may include:
 

  • posture

  • balance

  • strength

  • coordination

  • anything else that is applicable

  • I then design a therapeutic yoga program.

​​

 

 

​

The program can be done as a home based program within 1-2 sessions or as an ongoing one to one guided treatment session with home exercises provided. ​I combine traditional physiotherapy with yoga asana and breathing/relaxation techniques. Creating a flowing session of guided and sometimes facilitated movements with a focus on breathing. ​We can decide together whether you would benefit from a “one off” assessment and home program or a more ongoing rehabilitative burst over a 4 - 8 week period.

Myofascial Release (MFR)

Physiotherapy Treatment

MFR can enhance a more traditional physiotherapy approach. It is a very gentle hands on technique used to unwind the connective tissue in the body and promote healing from a structural and energetic level.

 

A developmental Manual Therapy Technique: entails treatment directed towards the correction of structural and functional components, a branch of osteopathic manual therapy, based on the fact that structure dictates function.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

 

 

 

 

 

 

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

​

CST can be used to treat:

​

  • headaches/Migraines

  • Chronic pain

  • Central Nervous System disorders

  • Sensitized Nervous System
