Mac
Physical Therapy
Hi, I'm Mac
I’ve been a physical therapist for nearly thirty years & studied a variety of touch-based techniques. Patients often see me with pain issues that have not responded well to other treatments.
When treatment of a painful area only helps temporarily, or not at all, it’s likely the problem is actually somewhere else.
I find the underlying cause is often related to previous injuries or scar tissue away from the painful area. They may be years old, but they all leave their mark on how your body moves.
Treatment feels like a very targeted massage. We find the spots your nervous system is avoiding using & reintegrate them into your movement patterns. This takes stress off the areas that have been compensating and, eventually, overworked & painful.
I commonly help with:
Joint or muscle pain
Reduced range of movement
Post-surgical rehab
Scar tissue
Nerve pain
Treatment typically takes 2-4 sessions. However, every case is different, so please get in touch to discuss your issue.
Find me at The Reformer Studio in Freshwater on Wednesdays and at Isle of Wight Pilates in Cowes on Mondays and Tuesdays. You can also book a session in other Cowes locations, as well as home visits.
