Re-thinking Physiotherapy at my Neuro Physio Clinic

A high percentage of my caseload are sports injuries, back pain and also patients with complex cases that have not responded to traditional approaches. In such complex patients, they may also be suffering with other symptoms limiting their ability to enjoy life. These commonly include anxiety, depression, panic attacks, breathlessness, finding it hard to breathe, stress, pelvic floor problems, poor sleep and the inability to ‘switch off’ and rest.

My approach works by improving the correct position of the head, ribcage and pelvis to enable the individual to walk, run, rotate, breathe and rest more efficiently. 

I see the body as a complex integrated system. Compensation or instability in one area will directly affect another. I take the whole body into account and look at how all the parts interact with one another, resulting in better outcomes and more efficient movement throughout your body. 

My Approach at Martin Higgins Neuro Physio Clinic is to consider the alignment and position of the whole body and use an integrative treatment approach to treat musculoskeletal injury and pain.

I use specialist neuro physiotherapy techniques, cranial therapy and assess dental, vision and podiatry history. Each of these areas can influence the patient/athlete's balance and alignment. I  work very closely with behavioral optometrists, dentists, podiatrists and myofunctional therapists to integrate my neuro physiotherapy approach and cranial techniques to improve patient function and outcomes.
