“I suffered from a prolapsed disc which hit my sciatic nerve and caused my foot to drop. After trying a few different therapies with no success, I was lucky to find Sally. The treatment was gentle and seemed quite subtle. I walked away feeling lighter and relaxed but not very hopeful that the pain would ease. I woke up the following morning and couldn’t believe the transformation: the pain had eased, my foot was more mobile and my movement had improved by at least 70%. I carried on seeing Sally until I felt back to normal. My medical records showed I should’ve had an operation but they didn’t contact me, which I now know was extremely lucky as within 5 months, my prolapse had rectified itself almost completely.”

“Following a sports injury, I saw Sally for an ankle problem. I was in pain and my body was stiff and off balance. I couldn’t stand comfortably at work. After just one treatment, I felt relief, the swelling went down and my posture improved. I also feel calmer for longer after treatments. They help me keep balanced and grounded.”

We will begin with you outlining your concerns, and intentions for the session, taking time to go through your health history.
Clients remain clothed throughout, and a light contact is made to various parts of the body and head, guided by your individual needs.
You may find yourself drifting off or becoming more aware of sensations within your body. Thoughts may come and go; and at times, there may be moments of complete stillness.
Following the session, there is an opportunity to discuss findings and if appropriate, you may be given some home care to practise between sessions.
-
It is advised to wear comfortable clothing and remove contact lenses for the treatment. Following the session, people may feel a little sleepy so it is best not to have anything too vigorous planned for afterwards. Drinking water following the session is also advised.
