Chronic pain, restricted movement, that heavy, tight feeling. These can have a profound effect on the way we live, how we feel about our day-to-day activities and even how we manage our relationships.
Whether you have been left with pain after an accident or illness, are frequently stressed, sit or stand for long periods of time, spend long hours using a computer screen, have a condition such as ME or fibromyalgia, depression or anxiety. Or simply have a body that’s starting to show its age!
I can help…
I’m Catherine Franks and I offer safe, effective treatment to reduce pain and restore movement, making you feel lighter, more mobile and better able to get on with your life.
Your pain and restricted movement may have been caused by past injury, postural problems, repetitive strain, overdoing things, emotional issues or general wear and tear. Whatever the cause, the right treatment, can bring you long-term relief.
Every treatment is tailored to your needs…
which means it will be different every time! I use myofascial release therapy (MFR), along with gentle mobilisation and manipulation of the joints, direct trigger point work and muscle energy techniques to help your body to heal. By removing fascial restrictions you will gain a sense of freedom and balance that you didn’t even realise you were missing!
Coming from a background in remedial massage, MFR has fast become the cornerstone of my treatments, as scientific research into fascia improves our understanding of this vital structure that connects every part of our body. MFR is a very subtle technique that can lead to profound changes. Click through these links to find out a bit more about fascia, it’s involvement in chronic pain, andmyofascial release
I also have a particular interest in neurological disorders, with some experience in treating patients with acquired brain injury, brain tumour, multiple sclerosis and Parkinsons.
What to expect
Every treatment is different and is designed to meet your specific needs.
Whatever your reason for seeking treatment, we will start with a conversation so that I can understand what you need and decide on the best approach.
