What Do I do?
I integrate Osteopathy, Western Medical Acupuncture and Sports Rehabilitation into one session, without additional charge.
Typically, the initial consultation involves completing a consent form, taking a case history, undergoing physical examination, and discussing treatment plan, prognosis and further management. If you are satisfied with the proposed treatment plan, Nina proceeds with gentle hands-on treatment, which may include Balanced Ligamentous tension, Joint manipulation, soft tissue techniques, and myofascial unwinding techniques. Occasionally, needling maybe incorporated with the client’s consent. Please allocate 45-60mins for the initial consultation.
The subsequent treatments will be trailered based on client’s response to previous sessions. This may include different osteopathic techniques, various needling techniques (Dry Needling/ Auricular Acupuncture/ Electrical Acupuncture), and cupping.
As your condition improves and your body is ready for Rehabilitation, Nina will offer a personalised rehabilitation program. This program uses the Physitrack app for home exercises, providing clear exercise videos straight to your smartphone or computer. These exercises are designed to prevent future injuries.
Special Interest
Nina has a special interest in Cranial Osteopathy, which is based on the principle that the cranial bones, along with the connective tissues, membranes, and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, have subtle rhythmic movements. These movements, known as cranial rhythmic impulses, are believed to be vital for maintaining overall health and well-being. It can benefit people from baby to seniors. Cranial Osteopathy commonly used to address a wide range of conditions, including headaches, migraines, TMJ disorders, neck and back pain, postural imbalances, stress-related issues, and various other musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.
In addition, Nina has received training in Paediatric Osteopathy, equipping her for treating infants. She is also dedicated to annual continuing education in the field of Cranial Osteopathy.
