Sara Thornley

Inspired by and based upon the philosophy of John McTimoney

Sara offers an integrated form of treatment, focusing on extremely light but effective techniques including the McTimoney method and craniosacral therapy.

The skeletal system of the body is assessed as a whole on each treatment, particularly the atlas and the sacro-iliac joints.  The pelvic bones are accurately realigned before the spine is adjusted on individual vertebrae. At a first consultation, a full case history is taken regarding symptoms, present and previous, as well as details of the patients’ lifestyle, occupation, sports, hobbies, etc.

The number of follow-up treatments will vary considerably depending on the patients’ age, lifestyle, general health and the length of time they have been suffering – the acute problem is generally more quickly resolved than the chronic.  Usually, an initial treatment plan of six sessions is recommended, though more or fewer sessions may be needed.  Treatments are given weekly at first then gradually spaced out allowing longer periods between treatments.  Once a problem has been resolved, a maintenance programme of check-ups and treatment at three to six months is always recommended.

The gentle nature of this treatment makes it especially suitable for pregnant women, young babies, children and the elderly.  Of course, it doesn’t matter your age or condition if you think this treatment may help, you can ring me at: Holt Holistic Centre 01263 711898 for a free confidential chat.

Sara does not hold herself out to be, or call herself, a chiropractor, chiropractic practitioner, chiropractitioner, chiropractic physician, or any other kind of chiropractor, either explicitly or by implication.
