The Movement Therapist

Here’s a bit about who I am and how I’m able to help you

I’m Alex! 👋🏻
I’m a soft tissue therapist qualified with a level 5 BTec in sports and remedial massage therapy
I also happen to be a qualified occupational therapist with 11 years of experience in public health

With my skill set I am able to offer each client tailored sessions to suit all your individual needs.

ASSESSMENT 📔🖋️
This gives you the chance to tell me about yourself - what aches/pains you have, how they started and when, what makes it better/worse.

If you have any injuries, discuss with me what happened.
I’ll ask more questions then about your lifestyle; your work, hobbies, sports, parental/caring responsibilities, what ‘down-time’ looks like for you.

I’ll then look at your physical appearance; your posture, how you move the areas of your body that are affected. What movements cause pain/discomfort. I’ll test strength and range of movement which tells me where I need to treat.

TREATMENT
I’ll then discuss what treatment we will use for the session - this can look very different from client to client.

Not one size fits all; our bodies are wonderful and unique!

SPORTS MASSAGE
I primarily use sports massage for my treatments. In addition I’ll use specialise techniques such as soft tissue release, myofascial dry cupping and specialist stretching techniques.

During the treatment I may ask to reassess and see how things are feeling/moving to see improvements. It also helps you to see the improvements which makes for a more positive experience for you!

REHAB
You’ll feel better, looser, happier and in much less discomfort after the treatment! 🙌🏻

However, in order for these effects to last as long as possible between treatments, there is usually some homework to take away with you.

As I always say, I advocate for movement. MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE. I will demonstrate to you some stretches and exercises to help you. I’ll get you to try them out so you know how they feel for you.

I will send you videos and photos of these for reference to practice and complete at home.

EDUCATION
I feel it’s really important for you to learn about the part of your body that’s causing you pain; so I will explain what I am doing, and what I am finding during assessment and treatment.

It’s the answers to your ‘why’ -
- “why does it hurt when I lift a dumbbell over my head?”
- “why does my hip hurt when I run?”
- “why does my neck hurt when I’m working at my desk?”

I think it gives you insight and understanding about why it’s an issue and then you can rehab yourself better at home.

✨ Words that make my day! ✨

Just a few of the words of positive feedback I’ve received from clients over the last few months! 🙌🏻

It’s music to my ears.

It puts a huge smile on my face.

It makes me feel accomplished.

It means I’ve made a positive impact in a person and how they move.

If it means you can move better, move with more purpose, and move with less/no pain, then I’m a very happy therapist.

I take huge pride in what I do - whether you’re a brand new client or you’ve been visiting me every month for 3 years, I’ll give my best effort and time each time you attend.
