Frequently Asked Questions

Pain Relief Treatments

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions you have is dependent on you and your outcome goals.  Most clients find they achieve a lot of relief from just one session. Some clients come because they have limited movement in a joint, which causes pain - for many, full range of movement is restored in their first session and they don’t feel a need to return.

Others have more complex needs so they opt for more in depth programmes.

We discuss your options during your call or initial session. You are not committed to a follow up programme when you book in for one session. My goal is to get you to where you want to be as fast as possible.

Where do sessions take place?

My treatment and training room is in Worcester Park, KT4 7BE.

Are you the same as a physio?

Physiotherapists help people maintain health and treat injuries, illnesses, and disabilities using movement, exercise, and other techniques - I do this too, however as therapists we all have slightly different tools and we use them differently. One of my tools is EMMETT Technique, which is gentle, yet extremely effective at eliciting a muscle relaxation response. Exercises are recommended to change and improve long term movement.

Can I just have a massage?

I apply the most effective techniques I have to hand in order to get my clients fast, effective results - pain relief. This means EMMETT Technique trumps massage. I do however sometimes integrate the use of some remedial massage techniques such as vibrations, neuro-muscular stretching, trigger point therapy to name a few. Massages are not offered as a stand alone treatment.
