Functional Soft Tissue Occupational Therapy
‘Soft Tissue’ is a collective term referring to a person’s muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, as well as their nervous, lymphatic and circulatory systems. This area of OT focuses on improving your physical health, using a holistic, natural hands-on approach to get to the root cause of your physical challenges. The treatments are individualised in order to reduce pain and inflammation, increase movement and function, and improve quality of life. The goal is to get you back to doing what you love (engaging in your meaningful occupations) without needing to regularly rely on pharmaceuticals. These treatments can also improve performance and recovery for individuals who engage regularly in sport or physically demanding tasks. The treatment plans may include physical therapy, lymphatic drainage, goal setting, dietary and lifestyle changes & nutritional supplementation.
Is there any greater life-altering transition than becoming a mum? Healthy mums = healthy societies. Mothers are the bedrocks of our communities and Kirsty is very passionate (after having three babies of her own) about working with mums as they navigate through this challenging, wonderful and deeply transformative season of their lives. Kirsty can work with mums at any stage of their motherhood journey: including preparation for pregnancy, labour, birth and well into the postpartum bonding and recovery period. The transition from maiden to mother can be physically, spiritually, emotionally and cognitively challenging, and our villages aren’t as supportive as they used to be. Kirsty’s hope is to holistically equip mums with the support and knowledge they need to truly thrive and grow in every aspect of motherhood.
