Glencairn Physiotherapy

Glencairn Physiotherapy Highly skilled Private Physiotherapist providing quality treatment and rehabilitation for all musculoskeletal, post operative and sports conditions.

I am an experienced and enthusiastic Physiotherapist, specialising in treatment of musculoskeletal, sports and spinal problems and am also trained in Clinical Pilates and Acupuncture. I qualified in 1993 from The Middlesex Hospital School of Physiotherapy in London, then spent 5 years in the NHS in Slough, then as a Senior in Frimley in Berkshire. It is this period which gave me a large base of experience to then be able to move on in Physiotherapy and specialise. I then travelled to Australia. Working for two years in a clinic with close ties to a health club, I treated rugby and Aussie rules footballers, triathletes and also Paralympians in preparation for the 2000 Olympic Games. On my return to England I worked in Yorkshire helping to expand a local Private Physiotherapy clinic and also provided specialist Physiotherapy services to a Spinal Research establishment which performs pioneering laser surgery. Yorkshire was also a place where the outdoors was on my doorstep, I treated many outdoor sports people, and fell in love with the outdoors myself! In 2003 I qualified as a Pilates instructor, concentrating on the Modified Pilates approach which enables those recovering from injuries or pain to perform Pilates exercises safely and return to work, sport and normal life. I believe passionately that good posture and body control is a vital part of being a healthy human being in work and sport. I have also trained in the Sarah Key Method of treating back and neck problems, which brings together long-held knowledge about the breakdown of the spine and creates a patient-centred, manual and self- treatment program to effectively treat the commonest forms of spinal problems more efficiently and quickly than ever before. More recently I qualified in Acupuncture which has added a powerful extra dimension to my treatment, to enable more rapid pain relief in acute conditions and also finally to treat together, in a truly holistic fashion, all the factors contributing to a patient’s condition. I am also an Outdoor Pursuits Instructor and have a lovely son who keeps me on the go! I look forward to meeting (and treating) you!

Great day of education and industry stalls at Therapy Expo at the NEC Birmingham on Thursday spent with my good friend and fellow physio Jane. So much to learn, so much new innovation in research and products to help treat our patients. Will definitely be going again next year.

The science of pain is one of my favourite subjects as it is an area where we are making steady gains in understanding such a complex subject and individual experience. The pinnacle of research and understanding on Pain Neuroscience, in my opinion, is coming from this group NOI. And I shall be boosting my knowledge by attending this webinar tonight. Hoping it will help me even more to understand the Language of Pain in order to help my patients.

Explain Pain στην πράξη
Ο ρόλος του μεταφορικού λόγου στην επεξήγηση του πόνου
Πέμπτη 6 Οκτωβρίου - 9μμ
ΔΩΡΕΑΝ και ανοιχτό σε όλους

Αυτές οι ζωντανές συζητήσεις διάρκειας 30 λεπτών είναι σχεδιασμένες να βοηθήσουν στην πρακτική εφαρμογή του Explain Pain στο κλινικό περιβάλλον. Μπορείς να συμμετέχεις ζωντανά και να κάνεις ερωτήσεις ή να δεις αργότερα το βίντεο.

Έχει συζητηθεί πολύ η δύναμη του μεταφορικού λόγου στην εκπαίδευση για τον πόνο. Πως μπορούμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε μεταφορές για να εξηγήσουμε καλύτερα τον πόνο; Πως μπορούμε να τις χρησιμοποιήσουμε για να έχουμε το μέγιστο αποτέλεσμα και υπάρχουν κίνδυνοι στη χρήση τους;

Έλα μαζί με τον καθηγητή του NOI Tim Beames και τον Νίκο Σιδηρόπουλο, για να ανακαλύψεις τη δύναμη της μεταφοράς στο κλινικό περιβάλλον, να βελτιώσεις το λεξιλόγιό σου σχετικά με τον πόνο και να μάθεις μέσα από κλινικά παραδείγματα.

I love NOI - let’s be honest with our patients about pain and stop using outdated and frankly misleading language . ALL medical personnel should watch this and learn.

There are no such things as pain receptors or pain pathways!

Pain receptors and pain pathways do not exist…there are no such things. But, if these terms are incorrect, what language should we use to describe the pain experience? Why does it matter? and what are the benefits of being accurate?

Join Tim Beames for a live clinical discussion to discover the answers to these questions, improve your language around pain and understand the importance of getting it right.

It’s completely free and open to everyone. We'd love to welcome you to join us.
