Any surgery, big or small, creates adhesions & scar tissue (internal or external) that can cause pain, tightness and postural changes, to name a few.

I can help improve the appearance, mobility and sensitivity of these scars using a range of treatment options. I care for patients that have had cosmetic surgery, as well as those who have had surgery as part of their cancer care.

I use a combination of modalities that include soft tissue massage, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, acupuncture, vacuum therapy/cupping (LymphaTouch®), kinesiotaping & exercise.

What I do & conditions I treat:

• Rehabilitation following breast reconstruction (eg DIEP, implant-based reconstructions, Lat Dorsi Reconstructions)

• Rehabilitation following breast cancer surgery (eg mastectomy, lumpectomy, sentinel node biopsy, axillary node clearance)

• Cording / Axillary Web Syndrome

• Radiation fibrosis / side effects of radiotherapy

• All types of scars (eg from breast cancer surgery, cosmetic surgery, C Section, trauma, orthopaedic surgery eg knee / hip replacement)

• Joint pain & stiffness

• Side effects of cancer treatment (eg peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, muscle mass loss)

• Menopausal symptoms following treatment for cancer

• Post-operative swelling
