| Welcome to the TherapyXperts February 2012 newsletter!
| Welcome Katie Gill
Well the New Year is in full swing here at the clinic, our Pilates classes are being well attended and we are getting great feedback about our new instructor Katie Gill. Katie, a local lady, joined the team in November last year. She is a chartered physiotherapist who, as well as looking after our Pilates classes, is available for chartered physiotherapy treatment sessions. She takes a keen interest in the use of medical acupuncture, and like the rest of us finds combining it with manual therapy and therapeutic exercise extremely effective for a range a musculo-skeletal complaints. She has undergone post-graduate training in the area with the British Medical Acupuncture Society.
Downstairs treatment room
Just a reminder that we have a downstairs studio which is used for our Pilates classes but is also available as a treatment room. If you would prefer a downstairs room, please mention it to our receptionist when booking your appointment.
Thank you Elaine and Jennifer
We wish to thank Elaine Barry again for all her hard work at the clinic over the last four years, we wish her well on her year out travelling! Jennifer Nelson who has been working with us part time is off to Australia to do her Master’s degree and we wish her all the best with her studies.

For those who may be interested, I am including an article (see link below ) I wrote recently on the use of medical acupuncture during pregnancy. In summary this gentle technique is safe, effective and works very well in combination with specific exercises. We have been able to help many women with pelvic girdle, low back pain and SPD during pregnancy. Lorraine here, thanks the Lord, for how effective it was during her pregnancy!

We take keeping up to date and acquiring new skills very seriously in the clinic. It keeps us current and relevant, helping our clients get better more quickly. The medical research is changing so quickly and we need to make sure we are always working in accordance with the most up to date ‘evidence’. Katie has been to London completing advanced Pilates training and also completed specialised training in Women’s Health at the Beacon Hospital with a team of experts over from the UK. Simon is on his way to Liverpool in April to attend the British and Irish Medical Acupuncture Societies Spring conference. We all are attending an international Spine Conference over the weekend of February 17-19 in the stunning Convention Centre in Dublin. These conferences are always very interesting with presentations from leading researchers and clinicians from around the world.
