Client Review: “I had a serious knee problem which was limiting my ability to cycle and run. Naomi provided outstanding advice and exercises which I followed for a few weeks, and as a result was able to get back to full fitness about a month later. She clearly explains exercises and sends all the info across via email post session which makes it much easier to follow. Naomi followed up with me on the progress of my knee weeks after our final session which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend ND Clinical Pilates to anyone”.

CLINICAL PILATES

Clinical Pilates is a variation of Traditional Pilates, continually shaped and advanced by current best practice guidelines. It is designed for people experiencing health issues, pain and for rehabilitation following injury or surgery.  Generally delivered in a 1:1 setting or small groups, pilates exercises are adapted to the appropriate level for you and your pain and progressed when possible and tolerated.  Sessions with Naomi allow you to feel and understand the strengths and weaknesses in your body and how this could be contributing to pain and dysfunction.  Clinical Pilates creates balance between muscle groups, lengthening short muscles and strengthening long muscles and encouraging optimum function throughout the body.

PILATES REFORMER

A Pilates Reformer looks like a single bed with sliding carriage and variable resistance springs.  For those who are unable to exercise in standing it allows painful joints to be strengthened safely.  You can sit, stand, lie or kneel allowing a plethora of exercises. 

Client Review: “Brilliant Pilates instructor. She tailors each session to your physical needs whilst pushing your physical abilities in a healthy way. Can’t recommend enough!”

PHYSIO / PILATES BY VIDEO

What is Telehealth?

Naomi has years of experience in telephone triage for the NHS so is able to deliver the same great outcomes using a video-based programme. Evidence confirms that these consultations provide the same, if not better, outcomes for patients and include comprehensive home exercise prescription and monitoring.

How can it be just as good?

Experienced clinicians are taught to rely on initial questioning to diagnose our patient’s condition. Physical assessment is then simply used to prove themselves wrong or right and often only requires 2-4 tests. A lot of these tests are functional such as a squat which is very visible on a laptop screen.

And for the treatment?

Although I can’t put my hands on you and release off those tight, sore muscles during treatment a good physiotherapist will be talking you through lifestyle adaptations and mutually deciding the best path forwards. Following treatment, we then teach you the best possible movements that will ease your pain and prevent it coming back in the long term. All of these things we can still do online.

TESTIMONIAL

“At the beginning of the lockdown, I injured my lower back/hip and was in considerable pain. With no conventional physio available I was recommended to Naomi as someone who had had success with online treatment. I was initially sceptical about how effective this could be but Naomi was extremely professional and positive and quickly pinpointed the problem. She provided a daily programme of Pilates-based exercises, the number of which increased as I progressed. She took a personal interest and provided much-needed encouragement. Within a few weeks and after several sessions with Naomi I was virtually pain-free and able to resume sport and normal pursuits. I would strongly recommend anyone in a similar similar situation to contact Naomi – her treatments are amazingly effective.“

SCAR THERAPY

What is Scar Therapy?

Scars are part of our story, love them or hate them. By definition, they are not the same as the original tissue.  But whether you want to hide them or show them off there are things you can do to to help your scar to be as ‘healthy’ as possible. Different treatment options are available depending on the type, location & age of the scar. 

Milly first learnt the importance of good scar management when I worked in the NHS in a Hand Therapy department. Working with such intricate joints & tissues it’s essential to minimise the effects of scar tissue to optimise the outcomes of healing. But why should that be any less obvious a priority for another joint, such as a knee, or wound after cancer surgery, or episiotomy?  Even older scars have the potential to cause pain & dysfunction, whether they’re a 5mm keyhole incision, C-section or mastectomy. 

The ‘RESTORE’ Scar Therapy Method is a non-invasive physical therapy method developed to treat scar tissue, fibrosis & adhesions. Using specialist scar massage & fascial release, therapy tools & self-care advice to promote healthy recovery.

How can scar therapy help?
– Stimulate change to scar tissue on the skin surface, & to adhesions or fibrosis in the
underlying tissue
– Reduce common symptoms, such as pain & sensitivity
– Promote functional & cosmetic improvements after surgery

The RESTORE method has been developed by UK’s leading scar therapy teacher & Harley Street scar specialist, Emma Holly. RESTORE scar therapy method is used within NHS & by leading private healthcare providers. A course of treatment is usually recommended, but a single session & self-care advice for you to follow at home can be helpful.

LymphaTouch is a medical device which produces a negative pressure, or vacuum, & mechanical vibration on the skin to stimulate lymphatic drainage and treat scars. Controlling the negative pressure allows us to work with your body to help remove excess fluid from the tissues, and improve healing and overall health and well-being.

​LymphaTouch is indicated for the treatment of:

• pre and post operative swelling

• scars

• lymphedema

• acute injuries

• fascial restrictions

• muscle recovery treatments

• pain management 

• joint function

SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports massage is a specialized massage that focuses on the areas of the body that are most used and stressed during physical activity. It’s more targeted than a regular massage, using moderate to firm pressure to address the individual’s unique needs. Sports massage can help relieve pain, tension, and knots that have built up over time, and can also help reduce the risk of injury and improve performance.
