Here at Healing Space,
we are delighted
to welcome our newest
team member and physio, Alice.
I was particularly interested in recruiting Alice as she has a strong focus on pregnancy and postnatal treatments. At our clinic we pride ourselves in being a center of excellence for all pregnancy and postnatal treatments. Alice is a very welcome addition to our team of experts who can support you during this wonderful time. She joins our team of pregnancy specialists which includes acupuncturists, massage therapists, nutritionists and reflexologists.
In this country sadly the postnatal focus is always on the baby and not the mum. After my first baby the GP just asked if I was ok, I said yes, and that was it.
Alice is amazing at treating pregnancy pain and can offer post-natal rehabilitation, and soon will be ready to see patients for pelvic floor and internal assessment, so watch this space!
Alice works with her patients to determine the right course of treatment that works for them to enable a return to full, pain-free function and activity. Treatments are tailored around each individuals condition and if necessary she can refer you onward to another specialist or to your GP.
Alice she will assess your movement in the initial Physiotherapy session by looking at the body as a whole to understand and determine the cause of your pains. Treatment may include a variety of manual techniques to improve function, movement and pain, in addition to a specifically tailored exercise programme taught to enable effective management of symptoms and longer term benefits.
