The first step is to correct the problems
The unique bodywork treatment Andrew provides is a very effective method for any chronic or acute pain, in any area of the body, whether you are active or inactive, young or elderly. People often comment it is different to any other therapies they have tried.
Working holistically on myofascial tissue to achieve alignment and balance in the body will relieve uneven load on injured structures and enhance the body's ability to heal itself to resolve injury quickly. Getting a person out of pain can be achieved relatively quickly. For the active person, chronic or reoccurring injuries can be greatly resolved within 2-3 SLM bodywork treatments.

The next step is to keep them fixed
When a person is out of pain and in good alignment, ongoing maintenance may be required to prevent the body drifting out of alignment and eventually re-injuring again. Continued maintenance treatments at monthly to six week intervals allows the body to function efficiently and feel light and energised.
Maintaining alignment means all muscles are in a better place to function properly, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Maintaining foundation movement patterns will allow the myofascial system to function in harmony to increase endurance, strength and performance.
Why it works
The bodywork Andrew undertakes aims to provide the most effective treatment for rapid postural alignment. To heal the body and permanently remove pain, the cause of the mechanical problems within the muscles must be identified and corrected. Removing deep-seated adhesions present in the muscular system allows the skeletal system to align quickly. Over the course of the posture alignment and remedial massage therapies, he will uncover and treat the underlying problematic tissue that initially caused your body to begin to compensate and lead to injury.
The treatments work with your body, rather than forcing it, using a combination of massage and myofascial manipulation. Non-invasive neurostimulation using a Physiokey device may also be incorporated if required, generally for acute inflammation. Additionally, in his capacity as a podiatrist, Andrew may prescribe orthotic therapy if your condition necessitates it. Each treatment is unique to your individual needs and how your rehabilitation is progressing.
