SUMMARY:Bodywork Physiotherapy
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to start a new service here at Positive East. To begin with\, it will be available for two hours on the first Thursday of the month and will operate on a drop-in\, first come\, first served basis rather than booked appointments. \nBodywork – Pain and Mobility Management Service at Positive East \nBodywork is a holistic\, hands-on approach to help people who want to move better\, reduce pain or just relax. It combines physiotherapy\, osteopathy and massage to relax your muscles\, joints and promote the body’s natural self healing. \nTreatments are outcome-based\, which means all initial appointments include a short consultation to discuss your condition and your goals. \nThis service is led by Blake (BSc Physio\, MCSP) who is a musculo-skeletal physiotherapist\, with a special interest in chronic pain and spinal dysfunction. He has extensive experience working with HIV associated conditions\, having previously led the Physiotherapy service at Mildmay UK \nAsk any of the peer support staff about this new service
