Therapy
SomaTherapy (manual etiotherapy) and SomaTraining are founded on traditional osteopathic philosophy and principles of sports science. This approach is dedicated to addressing the root cause of your condition, while managing symptoms. By integrating these disciplines, I aim to provide comprehensive care that targets the underlying issues affecting your health and well-being.
Central to this method is the recognition of the critical role played by the fascia in the body's intrinsic anatomy and biomechanics. We understand that injuries and dysfunctions often stem from imbalances within the fascial system. With meticulous attention to detail, SOMA techniques are designed to precisely address these issues, offering a more targeted and effective treatment approach, which sets it apart from other healthcare modalities.
Peter treats a variety of injuries and health conditions, the below is a selection of frequent treatments. If unsure, please get in touch.
-
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction & Lumbo-Pelvic Dysfunction
We understand the discomfort and limitations that sacroiliac joint issues can cause. Our tailored treatment programme focuses on alleviating pain and restoring mobility through a combination of manual therapy, personalised exercise plans, and education on posture and movement. By addressing the underlying causes of sacroiliac dysfunction, we aim to enhance joint stability and overall functional capacity.
-
Visceral Manual Therapy
It is a gently osteopathic manual therapy approach that focuses on the mobilisation and optimisation of the internal organs and their surrounding fascial structures. Peter uses specific techniques to reposition and release tension within visceral tissues, which can result in improved circulation, reduced pain, and enhanced overall well-being. This approach recognises the intricate connections between body systems, promoting healing by nurturing the body's inherent ability to self-regulate and repair.
-
Jaw Pain & TMJ Dysfunction
TMJ dysfunction, or temporomandibular joint dysfunction, pertains to a range of issues that affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often leading to discomfort, restricted movement, and pain. Treatment for TMJ dysfunction focuses on alleviating symptoms and restoring normal function. Peter employs a holistic approach that may include physical therapy, manual therapy techniques, and tailored exercises designed to enhance jaw mobility and reduce pain.

ELDOA, Scoliosis & Back Pain
ELDOA ™ is an innovative therapeutic approach designed to enhance spinal health and alleviate back pain. By utilising specific postures and stretching techniques, ELDOA effectively creates space within the spine and surrounding joints, promoting better alignment and function. This method facilitates improved hydration and nutrient flow to the intervertebral discs, reducing tension and discomfort.
The process
-
This is to understand your lifestyle, training and injury history and sequence of events leading to the present moment. We then begin by conducting a thorough assessment to understand the underlying mechanics that may play a role in your current condition. This is essential for goal setting and program design and designed to determine physical imbalances and areas needing strengthening, stretching, or a combination of modalities.
-
Based on the evaluation findings, Peter develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

This is the execution part of the above plan. Based on your needs and goal this may be manual therapy combined with exercise therapy or exercise training only.
