ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture involves inserting needles into specific points to rebalance the flow of energy through energy pathways (meridians) in your body, to decrease pain, improve wellness or achieve a number of desired effects. I conduct a thorough verbal assessment and use pulse and tongue analysis to determine an appropriate diagnosis and individualised treatment plan. Acupuncture consults may also include cupping, Gua Sha (scraping) electroacupuncture, neural stimulation, and educational advice.

PHYSIOTHERAPY DRY NEEDLING

Assess and address musculoskeletal conditions, providing physiotherapy  dry needling to release, reset and hydrate muscles to help reduce muscle tightness and pain. Dry needling consults may also include cupping, Gua Sha, electroacupuncture, neural stimulation, taping, as well as teaching home exercises, self management techniques, and postural and biomechanical education and retraining.

PILATES EXERCISE REHABILITATION

Physiotherapy supervised one on one or one on three Pilates exercise rehabilitation to facilitate joint mobility and stability, flexibility, balance, postural realignment, and muscle strength retraining. This includes teaching and updating home exercise programs, and self release and management strategies.

I am a Physiotherapist, Acupuncturist, Pilates practitioner and the sole practitioner and director of Soul Physiotherapy and Acupuncture. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy at Curtin University in early 2009 and have since been working in the area of musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy, and exercise rehabilitation.

Over the years I have treated many inspiring individuals and have been fortunate to work with numerous elite athletes, sporting teams and dancers from various associations including Perth Glory Football Club, WAAFL, WAAPA, and VCASS to name a few. I have a passion for continuous learning and knowledge and have undertaken further study in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy management, exercise rehabilitation and movement retraining, dry needling and acupuncture, biomechanics, functional cupping, chronic pain and pain psychology, energy healing and more.
