A Little About Me...

I started nursing when I was a very young thing. Involved in a motor vehicle accident I was the pedestrian hit by the car. This was the first turning point in my life, trying to find help to get me back on my feet and back to living a normalish life, that took 12 years of trying lots of things until I stumbled onto Trigger Point Therapy. It worked I got better really quickly and my life turned around. 

I Had worked as a Registered Nurse during the twelve years of hell, I still don’t know how I did it, many panadol, aspirin, Valium and aspalgin later I suspect, maxalon and stemetil. My chosen field of Nursing at the time was Intensive Care and Coronary Care. I gave up Nursing and took to Trigger Point Therapy like a duck to water. 

This was turning point number 2. I have been practising Trigger Point Therapy, Massage and dry Needling for 25 years now. I understand what clients say when they hobble in unable to straighten up or with a pounding headache they have had for a couple of weeks or months or on and off for years. Or depressed out of their heads because of the years of muscle pain they have endured and they are at wits end. 

Yep sometimes you need the Surgeon, sometimes the Chiropractor and lots of times the massage or trigger point therapist. Yoga stretching and getting strong again, with your preferred sporting activity, are next in line. People do not make up pain, if you have a headache, you have a headache, if you have a sore back, leg, arm neck hand big toe that is what you have. My task is to find the muscle that is giving you your grief and stop the muscle spasm causing the referred and acute pain. Sometimes people have pain everywhere and they can be tricky but not a basket case.

So it is now 2021 and I have a bit of time to update my website. A lot of things have happened since 2017. Firstly I had a big hole in my heart closed and that has stopped headaches with aura and vomiting. I have been able to go back to jogging, yoga and playing tennis. And i am still treating clients with muscular injuries, this will be my 28th year.

Moving forward we are now in 2024 and I am still working, and I still say the same things, Stretch Stretch and more stretching. Look after yourself, food feeds your muscle and the same food also feeds your brain. Watch your diet, and give processed foods a miss. Home made, fresh vegies, cooked vegies, fish chicken red meat, eggs plenty of water are pretty much a winning formula for a slender version of yourself. Have fun and see you when I’m looking at you.
