No referral or diagnosis is required to book an appointment with me.

Book a free no obligation phone call to chat through what you are experiencing and discuss suitable next steps.
No I do not complete internal assessments.
An OT session involves a thorough interview to discuss your symptoms and any impact on your ability to go to go about your day or what you may have stopped/avoid.
The session may also involve gentle exercise, breathing techniques, hands on mobilisation to external areas (with consent). All treatment is discussed and only completed when necessary and with consent.
