Focusing not just on the problematic body part, a holistic approach considers the entirety of your body, all of its systems, and you as a whole person with your own unique goals and priorities. Using recognised methods of specialised assessment like the Integrated Systems Model prioritises root causes of your presentation, enabling efficient and targeted treatment rather than chasing symptoms with band aid treatment - avoiding a cookie cutter approach.
Current medical research and ongoing professional education informs Jay's clinical reasoning and approach so that your care reflects current best practice.
With 30 years' experience, Jay is a recognised consultant physiotherapist receiving tertiary referrals for complex presentations where recovery is not progressing as expected, for amateur and professional athletes and performers, and children and adults. Jay is experienced in current, evidence-based orthopaedic and neurological differential diagnosis. She is skilled in systematic whole body examination and clinical reasoning to identify underlying root causes, and individualised manual therapy and rehabilitation.
Every session is one-to-one time for up to an hour - time for thorough assessment and treatment, and to answer your questions. Jay works this way because you'll progress further with each session and results come faster, with less overall sessions required.
How do you feel after an appointment when asked "so what did they say is the problem?" Often there's a lot of information to take in. Patients who understand their presentation and have a concrete plan feel more confident in their recovery and do better. You will receive a follow up email from Jay after your appointment with a clear summary, home rehab and treatment plan.
Recovery is expedited when you are supported without delay along your journey to recovery and optimal performance. Jay encourages you to contact her via email with questions or discussion points any time between appointments.
So that you can forge ahead with confidence, with your permission Jay communicates and collaborates with anyone who has input in to your wellbeing, establishing everyone on the same page.
