Hi, I'm Rebecca
Most people I treat have already tried something. Each step helped a bit, and the thing itself is still there. I'd rather find out what's actually going on first.
Qualified to treat what you're carrying
I'm a soft tissue therapist, qualified at Level 5 in Clinical Soft Tissue Therapy through the ISRM. I trained at the London School of Sports Massage under Mel Cash, who wrote the books this field is built on.
Most massage qualifications in the UK stop at Level 3, about the same as one A-level. Level 5 is equivalent to the second year of a degree. It's where you learn to assess an injury properly, reason back from a symptom to what's driving it, and recognise when someone needs a GP instead.
So if you're carrying an injury or managing something long-term, you don't need to check whether I can take you on. That's the work I'm trained for.

Before I retrained, I worked in the NHS and in private healthcare, and picked up training in neurology, orthotics and pain management along the way.
I also saw where the system runs out of road. It's built in silos, and a person in pain doesn't arrive in neat sections. I met people who'd been told nothing more could be done, when they'd really reached the edge of one specialism. It's why I take a proper history before I put a hand on anyone.
Assess, treat, explain
Every session starts with an assessment, because I can't treat a problem sensibly until I know why it's there. The treatment keeps feeding back into the picture: what I feel under my hands tells me as much as any movement test.
