PHILOSOPHY
Philippa’s training and experience give her the ability to successfully treat a wide variety of clients including the gardener who has difficulty bending or squatting and the athlete who wants to feel freedom in their body while improving performance. She is dedicated to finding the underlying cause of the pain/dysfunction which means she takes into consideration all past experiences and their impact on the body- mechanical, physiological, emotional, psychological.
Philippa is active with hiking, gardening, cycling, skiing, and loves to explore the world through travel.
