Emma
trained as a professional dancer and went on to have
a successful career performing in the West End and
abroad. In that time she encountered injuries in
herself and others and made the decision to train as
a massage therapist.

It soon
became apparent that these skills were not enough
for the types of conditions she was seeing on a
regular basis. So she went
on to specialise in sports injury work and the
functioning of the human body through the study of
anatomy and homeopathy.
Her unique form of treatment
integrates the whole body, so that she treats
holistically. She incorporates expertise in deep
tissue work & sports massage, postural work,
ergonomics and biomechanics in order to ensure her
patients get immediate and long term relief from
their injuries/conditions.
This is lasting as they learn the
tools needed to rehabilitate and live life to the
full. Having suffered a back injury herself and
having gone through the rehabilitation process she
is not a stranger to the pain and debility that
lumbar spine conditions can cause; but is therefore
well equipped to advise from first hand experience.
Emma is a registered Homeopath and
fully qualified in Advanced Sports Injury Massage;
Swedish Massage; Indian Head Massage; Reiki. She has
training and experience in CranioSacral Therapy;
Ergonomics; Alexander Technique
& Postural Training and Kinesiology.
POSTURAL TRAINING is really
important to your rehabilitation because the
technologies are becoming increasingly more complex
and efficient, yet unfortunately we in the knowledge
and understanding of our bodies have not moved
forward at the same pace. In fact we are expecting
more and more from ourselves and our physiological
make up whilst not being prepared a lot of the time
to help ourselves or implement changes to prevent
the break down in function of this incredible fete
of natural engineering known as the human body.
How then do we alter this course of
forward driven momentum that is resulting in
illnesses, accidents, injuries, tensions and
increased stress levels?
When a chair is static it means that
the body cannot be in constant motion, which is how
it functions best. If there is no forward tilt to a
chair or flexibility of floating tilt to the base
(seat) of the chair then human nature dictates that
the person will sit forward into the seat to
compensate and try to allow their hips to be placed
higher than their knees.
hey are in fact automatically (as their body is
telling them) trying to sit with a forward tilt of
the pelvis, yet their chair will not allow it
because it is a flat surface, leaving the hips and
knees at a 90˚ angle, inhibiting blood flow and
circulation into the arteries of the groin and
therefore to the rest of the spine and body as a
whole. So main points to easing your back pain at
work;
-
Sit with hips
higher than
knees
-
Have a chair
that has a
floating tilt
mechanism
-
Do not cut of
circulation by
crossing legs or
tucking them
under you
-
Sit up and use
the core muscles
instead of
slumping back in
the chair and
relying on it to
hold you up!
-
Take regular
breaks
-
See someone to
check your work
station set up
is working for
you in the most
healthy way!
We
have to start by
re-educating people
about their bodies
and how they
function, about the
fact that they can
change their habits
and work environment
with guidance and
support to become
something that
actually helps them
and enables them to
be healthy at work
or home.
I
have been working in
this field for 10
years and assess
work stations and
the individual’s
body in relation to
it. The muscle
imbalance that maybe
causing pain can be
addressed through
deep tissue work,
stretches and
postural guidance
which can end up in
decreased/eradicated
pain and better
overall functioning
of the body. For
