Hello, I'm Amanda — welcome to the practice
More than 20 years of study and clinical work have taught me a great deal about how the body responds to strain, injury and illness, and about the conditions it needs in order to recover. Some of what I was trained to do simply doesn't suit everybody. No two people arrive with the same story, so the plan I build for you is yours alone, shaped around your symptoms and around what your daily life actually asks of you. My work is to help you reach the drivers sitting underneath the problem, and to rebuild the connection between mind, body and spirit that so often lies at the centre of lasting change.
Integrative physiotherapy means I treat you as one whole person rather than a set of parts. Beliefs, emotions, fear and past trauma all shape how pain shows up and how well we heal, so they belong in the room with us. Depending on what you need, I draw on:
- Hands-on body work (manual therapy)
- Kinesiology, to reach the subconscious
- Nervous system retraining
- Clinical pilates as movement therapy
- Gut health education
