McTimoney Holistic Therapy and Koren Specific Technique
We do everything a bone manipulator does using energy not force
McTimoney Holistic Therapy and Koren Specific Technique (KST) have been combined in order to provide a whole body adjustment producing excellent results and leaving the body in an optimum state for self-healing to take place. It is a treatment suitable for people of all ages from birth to nonagenarians. Terry and Tanja welcome the opportunity to meet with you to improve your health and wellbeing.
Do you struggle with pain and discomfort?
McTimoney Holistic Therapy and Koren Specific Technique (KST) will target the source of your pain, and using energy, not force can treat common issues effectively and painlessly.
Practiced for over 40 years, the McTimoney Therapy offers a gentle alternative to many forms of Chiropractic and Osteopathy. Subtle corrections are made in treatments and it is very rare for any popping or cracking to take place. It is a highly effective whole body treatment for spinal and skeletal misalignment.
Who benefits from treatment?
We treat adults, babies, toddlers, children, teenagers and pregnant women for a variety of common issues, some of which are:
- Back, neck and shoulder pain
- Discomfort, pain and stiffness in joints
- Migraine and tension headaches
- Sciatica
- Whiplash injury
- Sports injuries
- Arthritic pain
- Unexpressed or buried emotions.
Adults
We see adults and adjust them for a variety of problems, it is the gentleness of our technique and the treatment of the whole body using energy that distinguishes our methods from others.
- Back, neck, shoulder, wrist, knee and other joint pain
- Migraine and tension headaches
- Whiplash, sciatica, and other "trapped nerve" problems
- Sports injuries
- Problems caused by bulging vertebral discs
- PTSD and other deep emotional problems.
Pregnancy
Hormonal and physical changes in the body during pregnancy can affect the body's structure causing pressure on nerves and pain or discomfort. Our treatments work to gently realign the body allowing the spine, the pelvis, and other joints to return to their natural position, relieving any pressure on the nerve fibres and associated pain, both during and after pregnancy.
Babies
Birth can be a traumatic process, particularly if forceps or a ventouse cap is used, or the baby is born by caesarean section. Even a normal vaginal delivery can leave some issues to be resolved. Our gentle treatments can help with:
- Feeding
- Digestive problems; colic, sickness wind
- Continuous or frequent crying; general irritability, sleep issues, difficult to settle.
Toddlers to teens
When beginning to walk or when first pulling themselves upright, children can fall heavily and repeatedly on their bottoms. This can cause misalignment of the pelvis and thus of the spine. As children get older, the simple bumps and tumbles and activities associated with growing up can often cause structural misalignment. Using energy through McTimoney and KST treatment help ensure early milestones take place naturally.
Who are your practitioners?
Terry and Tanja Murphy share a drive to keep up to date and move forward in their field. Terry was a Director of the McTimoney College of Chiropractic for 10 years. Both Terry and Tanja belong to the Society of Natural Therapists and Researchers as their professional body. They would love the opportunity to meet with you to improve your health and wellbeing.
Tanja Murphy
Born in Holland, Tanja trained as a Montessori Teacher in the UK and worked with disabled children for many years. In 1987 Tanja went to the McTimoney College of Chiropractic to learn the gentle, whole body treatment that she practised almost exclusively until 2008 when she attended her first Koren Specific Technique seminar in Arizona. This life-changing event changed Tanja's practice and increased the range of problems she can address. Tanja has taught with Tedd Koren, founder of KST, in Sydney, London and Amsterdam.
Terry Murphy
Born in the UK, on completion of his schooling Terry joined the Royal Air Force where he flew for eight before leaving to study Electronics as a Science (Quantum Physics) and Mathematics at University. In 1990 Terry had a series of McTimoney treatments, with Tanja, and decided that it was his path also. In 1993 he was accepted at the McTimoney College and four years later graduated. He has lived and worked with Tanja ever since. Terry has attended KST seminars and is a mentor, helping Tedd Koren, founder of the technique, to teach.
