Integrative Physiotherapy
& Spinal Energetics
What is Integrative Physiotherapy?
I use a multi-modality approach to my Physiotherapy treatments to treat clients holistically. Sessions may incorporate physical manual therapy (for example, massage, trigger point release, joint mobilisation, muscle energy techniques), somatic practices (where attention is directed to areas of pain and discomfort in order to release cellular trauma), mindfulness-based interventions (such as specific stretches with breathing techniques), and empowering self-management strategies so as to give a sense of control over your body rather than feeling a victim to your symptoms.
How Does It Work?
This approach considers a variety of contributions to pain, dysfunction and unease within the body, getting to the root cause(s) of the issue, as well as other contributing factors (such as lifestyle, behaviours, general health and psychology).
Benefits of integrative Physiotherapy
- Improve cognitive function and balance.
- Decrease in chronic pain, especially in the lower back, neck, or knees.
- Improvement in mood and reduction of levels of stress and anxiety.
- Enhanced quality of life.
- Improve in emotional and mental well-being.
What is Spinal Energetics?
- Spinal Energetics is a healing modality which is a blend of Eastern & Western Medicine which focuses on the spine & nervous system, looks at tension patterns and the chakra system, and works with all the energetic layers of the being – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual & personal soul layers.
How Does It Work?
Everyone’s nervous system is unique to them – it stores past memories, traumas, tension, blocked emotion and personal experiences. All of these aspects affect our health and how we live, function and experience the world.
What Happens in a spinal energetics session?
Sessions will include a small amount of light physical touch but will mostly involve working within the energetic field of the body. This allows me to reach deeper levels, facilitate greater healing and bring about more significant transformation. Breath, sound and voice are also important tools that I will use to connect in with the client’s energy system.

In order to be in a state of wellness, all elements of our being need to be in balance and in a high vibrational state. She is passionate about facilitating healing through the energetic fields of the body, clearing unhealthy energy that does not serve the health of the client, and raising the body’s frequency so as to release pain and unease bring the client into their most authentic and whole state of being.
