reconceptualising physiotherapy

Pain is not just a physical symptom. It’s a complex, individual experience shaped by biology, emotion, memory, and relationship.

Contemporary pain science invites us to broaden how we understand pain, moving beyond a mechanical view of the body.

At Wise, physiotherapy integrates evidence-based approaches with body-based mindfulness and Hakomi principles.

This means we attend not only to your physical symptoms, but also to the deeper patterns of protection, emotion, and meaning that shape how pain is experienced.

My presence supports the holding of complexity, allowing what might feel confusing or fragmented to slowly come into view.

Through our embodied exploration, clients often find their own inner clarity emerging. As the whole picture becomes more visible, the next step becomes more knowable.

Together, we create space to:

Explore the relationship between pain and the nervous system, including how sensations, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs show up in the body

Bring gentle awareness to protective responses, including those formed in response to stress or past overwhelm

Develop embodied insight, supporting your capacity to meet pain with curiosity and presence

Reconnect with your body as a source of information and care, not something to fix or fight

Be accompanied in a process that honours your pace, autonomy, and lived experience

This approach welcomes those seeking a deeper, more integrated way to work with pain, including people drawn to trauma-informed care, relational safety, or somatic self-understanding.

Here, physiotherapy becomes a space of restoration and reconnection, where the body is met as a wise, responsive part of your whole being.

what to expect

what it's like in session
(every session is different, but here’s a sense of what might happen)

I listen to your experiences and
inquire gently

We begin by exploring what it’s like to be you — how your pain, experiences, and life context are connected, and what matters most to you right now.

We might map things out visually

Sometimes we use the whiteboard to lay out the threads of your experience — making space to name and see the different layers or ‘parts’ involved. This can bring clarity and a broader view.

We tune into how your body responds

The body has its own way of speaking. Through mindful attention, movement, load, and touch, we notice how your body is holding, protecting, or responding to your story.

We reflect, integrate, and move forward

Together, we make sense of what we've discovered — integrating insights from both your mind and body to guide your next steps in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.
