New Update: 12 October 2021

I am now able to accept bookings for musculoskeletal injuries as I am both a traditionally trained acupuncturist AND a qualified physiotherapist.  There are strict criteria in order for me to see you face-to-face in the clinic environment.  And you will have to be vaccinated with either one or both vaccine jabs in order to keep us all safe.

The criteria are as follows.  If you think you fall into one of these categories, please email me, or give me a ring and I can discuss with you.

 The physiotherapy Board have outlined the below criteria which would enable me to see people in the clinic.

If you answer  any one of the questions yes, you may be eligible for face to face physiotherapy/acupuncture treatment.

1. A condition which is life or limb-threatening; or

2. Treatment required to maintain the basic necessities of life; or

3. Treatment that cannot be delayed or carried out remotely without the risk of significant harm or permanent and/or significant disability; or

4. Where failure to access services will lead to acute deterioration of a known condition, or

5. Where delay in access to services will impact the consumer’s ability to maintain functional independence and significantly negatively impact the quality of life.

6. It cannot be delivered by a service that is currently operating or by clinicians that are already in contact with the patient for ongoing care.

I am fully vaccinated and require everyone to wear a mask in the clinic.
