Physiotherapy

This can involve soft tissue massage, trigger point release, joint mobilisations, manipulation, muscle energy techniques and stretches. Manual therapy should be aimed at correcting any muscle imbalances and asymmetry, restoring movement loss and addressing any functional limitations. Marie uses ultrasound and taping where appropriate, as well as small equipment such as spiky balls for self-massage, therabands for resisted exercise and foam rollers and exercise balls for balance and strengthening work. Marie also provides Pelvic girdle support belts in pregnancy.
