I am a specialised respiratory physiotherapist who helps people with lung disease do more and be more active, feel better and suffer less anxiety and enjoy improved quality of life.
I offer Individualised exercise therapy for people recovering from cardiovascular or pulmonary surgery (eg after lung cancer surgery)
I also provide portable LUNG FUNCTION TESTING so you can find out how your lungs are functioning if you´re concerned.
• Asthma (breathing retraining and anxiety management)
• Pulmonary Rehabilitation (exercise for all chronic respiratory problems)
• COPD (airway clearance and physical activity programmes)
• Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis (airway clearance and exercise programmes)
• Chronic cough (cough suppression and vocal hygiene therapies)
• Management of anxiety and panic attacks
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia (graded exercise therapy – “Start low and go slow” individualized programmes, and cognitive behavior therapy approaches)
I also run a Stop Smoking Programme that implements a combined therapeutic approach utilising herbal medication (Cytisine) to help reduce withdrawal symptoms and effective behaviour change techniques to help people quit smoking. Smokers are 5 times more likely to quit for good with professional help.
