Established in 1995 by Rodger Duckworth who noticed a lack skilled manual therapists practicing in the area and was disillusioned with what he saw as declining standards of car

The practice now consists of a team of Chartered Physiotherapists, all of whom have a common belief in a “hands-on” / manual treatment approach.

The term ‘pericarditis’ breaks down as: peri - around, card - heart, itis - inflammation. There is a sheath around the heart to protect it and pericarditis is the inflammation of that sheath.

Many of you will know that this subject is, quite literally, very close to my heart! It was instrumental in my healing journey because I had relapsing pericarditis, which went on for years. My cardiologist said that it was the most repetitive and largest swelling that he had ever seen in his career as I had about an inch of swelling around my heart!

Understanding the cause of your illness, pain or condition can be a meandering path. What do I mean by that? Well there is never a one size fits all technique or treatment, so the trick to starting your healing journey is often to explore the different facets of your history to discover the cause or causes that have brought you to where you are. 

This can often be an uncomfortable and meandering path but ultimately allow you to heal fully rather than simply touch upon the various symptoms, because what you thought might be the cause of your condition or illness might just have been part of something richer and deeper that needs to be explored. 

Thank you to the amazing for her time and passion for helping others understand their own healing journey by sharing her own.

What is Craniosacral Therapy? Is it right for you?

Craniosacral Therapy is a light touch form of therapy which has developed and evolved over time. More recently, Craniosacral Therapy has become more about the energetic flow within the body and the understanding that health problems occur when that flow and balance has been disturbed. 

Does this sound a bit ‘woowoo’? If you’re used to a more physical push pull type of therapy, you should give this more subtle form of therapy a try - with an open mind. It requires you to feel, to begin to heal.

Our practitioners will ensure you receive the best personalised care because we care - about you.

What happens when we dissociate? And, what can it look like? 

Dissociation can take many forms. We’re so thankful for the amazing Katy Frost - for courageously allowing us to share this experience of her dissociating as we explore some painful memories. 

Watch this space soon for Katy’s journey out of the other side of this dissociative experience.

In our last blog we talked about what your PNIE is - Psycho-Neuro-Immuno-Endocrine.

In this blog, we talk about what it means for your health, and healing journey. If we try to treat a singular part, for example, “your hormone levels are sitting low or sitting high,” and we put some biochemistry in such as pills or pharmaceuticals very often what we are doing is just propping things up. Unfortunately, it can actually be adding more stress to the system if we are not addressing anything else.
