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.
Contemporary medical research and ongoing professional education including current Master's degree study inform Jay's clinical reasoning and approach so that your care reflects current best practice.
With over 30 years' experience, Jay is a recognised consultant physiotherapist in complex presentations where recovery is not progressing as expected, for individuals of all ages pursuing activity from recreational through to elite athletes and performers. Jay is experienced in current, evidence-based neuromusculoskeletal differential diagnosis and treatment. She is skilled in systematic whole body examination and clinical reasoning to identify underlying root causes, is a highly experienced manual therapist, and incorporates broadly ranging precision rehabilitation including Clinical Pilates.
Every session is one-to-one time for up to an hour - time for thorough assessment and treatment, and to answer your questions. You'll progress further and with more confidence in your treatment plan 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 and research tells us that we retain about 30% of what we're told in a medical appointment. 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 with those who have input in to your wellbeing, establishing you at the centre of a collaborative team.
