Recovering from injury or disease is a complex process that takes time. During the healing process our movement and our posture often changes in some way to adapt to restrictions that are helping us heal; swelling and pain, for example, or medical splinting or bandaging.
Because of the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, these adaptive organisational patterns can become habitual and liable to persist long after the structures have healed.
I can help you to recognise and move out of these adaptive habits. so that you recover more fully, and often more quickly, to your pre-injury level of function. And in the case of life-changing injuries I can help you adapt to your new situation.
I have helped people to:
- Recover functions lost after a stroke
- Find back their personal movement "style" after joint replacements
- Recover from and avoid recurrence of sports injuries
- Recover confidence to move freely after whiplash injuries
- Ameliorate and adapt to the effects of Parkinson’s Disease
- Recover functions and adapting to the effects of brain inujury
- Connective Tissue Injuries
- Postural imbalances
