Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a medical practice that can help you to elevate your health by restoring movement and function to the body if you are affected by injury, illness, disability or pain.
Physiotherapists are recognised medical professionals who are registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).
After taking a thorough history and understanding how your problem affects you, we conduct a thorough examination which involves testing structures such as muscles, joints, nerves, ligaments, and tendons in order to establish the exact source of your pain or injury.
Physiotherapists may use a range of different techniques and treatments, depending on your own individual needs and situation. This typically involves a combination of manual and exercised based therapies

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle yet profound treatment that speeds up the action of the lymphatic system to reduce swelling and discomfort
MLD works with the lymphatic system, a body-wide network of channels running from your deepest tissues to superficial skin layers. It keeps the flow and distribution of fluids in your body well balanced and also plays vital roles in immunity and defence against infections.
MLD therapy involves a range of specialised and gentle, rhythmic, pumping techniques to move the skin, stimulating the lymphatic system to work harder. This accelerates removal of excess fluid and waste products, redirecting fluid away from areas of swelling and discomfort. MLD is both preventative and remedial, and it can enhance your sense of wellbeing as it induces very deep relaxation.
MLD can support treatment and control of issues such as lymphoedema; lipodaema; healing after surgery, wounds or burns; relieving swollen legs in pregnancy, swollen ankles, puffy eyes; improving skin conditions and rheumatoid arthritis; and strengthening the immune system.
Lynne Sheppeard our MLD therapist will be happy to hear from you if you’d like to know more about how she may be able to support you with Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatments. As well as MLD, Lynne offers Holistic Massage Therapy, a relaxing and rejuvenating treatment that aims to bring relief from aches and pains, reduce stress and support your general wellbeing. Please get in touch with Lynne to enquire about MLD or Holistic Massage!

Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient, safe, natural, complementary therapy that is perfect for modern life. that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands or face to stimulate a response in corresponding areas of the body. It is based on the belief that these specific points, often referred to as reflex points or zones, are connected to various organs, glands, and systems within the body. By applying pressure to these points, reflexology provides deep, active rest and triggers the parasympathetic nervous system. This calms stress to promote relaxation, improve circulation and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Reflexologists use various techniques, such as finger or thumb pressure, massage, and manipulation, to stimulate the reflex points. There are many recognised benefits of reflexology, including its ability to: reduce stress; improve sleep; soothe the nerves; release feel-good, pain-relieving endorphins; improve the circulation; help your body heal; promote the elimination of toxins, and; boost your overall sense of wellbeing and vitality.
Craniosacral Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)
With its roots in osteopathy, BCST is a non-invasive clothed therapy which involves a gentle touch connection between practitioner and client, engaging with the deep patterns of our physical and energetic systems. Craniosacral therapy gives our systems space and time to re-organise in their own time and, when ready, to gently release patterns arising from trauma and conditioning that no longer serves us.
As well as being a superb BCST practitioner Amanda Brown is also a C-IYAT certified Yoga Therapist and offers Compassionate Inquiry, a body-awareness led form of talking therapy.

Body Oriented Psychotherapy
Body Oriented Psychotherapy offers a person space to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their situations, and their relationships.
In these sessions, through thoughtful, assisted self-discovery there is a focus on being present to the whole-body self, including sensations of the body. How we are in the present is often an unconscious, habitual reaction, organised according to many things, such as past experiences, old assumptions, a society’s culture, and our ancestry. It can be that these once helpful core beliefs are no longer serving us and keep us experiencing unnecessary suffering. This can be felt in both our mind and body. Our mind has the capacity to let us live in the past, or time travel to the future. Our bodies, however, are always in the present. Helping facilitate connection with, and development of, the richly resourced whole self in this nurturing, non-judgemental environment gives new insights and possibilities. This supports a person to thrive, not just survive, by building organic ways to be happier and healthier. Forward movement is created, through integration of these insights in and out of sessions.
These sessions offer the opportunity to experience oneself as a whole, healthy, creative, joyful being, no matter what life experiences you have had.
Compassionate Inquiry
Compassionate Inquiry is a talking therapy with an important element of somatic experiencing.
Amanda Brown is a highly skilled Compassionate Inquiry therapist, as well as offering Craniosacral and C-IAYT certified Yoga Therapy. Compassionate Inquiry uses simple questioning and exploration to help you examine your perceptions and emotions, using body-based awareness to support awareness of a felt sense of what is going on.
The process of Compassionate Inquiry allows us to explore different parts of ourselves and examine some of our core beliefs. Working together, we find ways of implementing compassion-based techniques to learn to help resolve problems and to identify and build strengths that are already present. During Compassionate Inquiry sessions there is plenty of opportunity to talk through anything that arises, and a non judgemental space is held.
Prices:
Initial consultation: £65
Ongoing sessions: £55
